Mega Group Screenshot using DarkPlaces Dedicated

Are you new to the whole MMORG scene? that's how it's possible

[Baker]

Holy fucking shit, how is that possible?!?

In DarkPlaces you can increase the packet size. This could be added to other engines, but the problem with that is that demos recorded with larger packet sizes are not playable in engines that use the standard 10,000 packet size (winquake, glquake, proquake).

You can't increase the packet size,no UDP packet can be larger than around 1400 bytes. DP merely has a much, much more lightweight protocol (meaning more entities fit in 1400 bytes), and sends as many packets as it needs. The reason DP demos don't run in older engines is of its completely different network protocol.

Here's a screenshot of the 10,000 knights map (helm32.bsp). You'll notice that it's running at 2 SPF (seconds per frame)

I caught you cheating in Quake!

Notes on how to get 0.5 fps as opposed to 0.1 fps:
- Turn on notarget (dp requires sv_cheats 1 first). If the knights wake up, your framerate is toast.
- Try not to injure any knights. If you do, a whole bunch will wake up. So use the quad and either RL or LG

Holy fucking god, that is a LOT of knights.

[Canadian*Sniper]

hehe, glpro can't handle even starting the map.

I used to use an engine called tyr-quake.exe. It was supposedly better for handling larger packets and bigger amount of monsters. It works great for Marcher Fortress. "Optimized for singleplayer" it said.

Anyone ever heard of it?

Sounds fun
