Your looking at a way to stop people from, abusing the function to set there own dedicated bandwith. Forcing them selves to lag, to get more "lucky" shots.

Size doesn't matter.

Basically some players are so bad that they really need to try anything to stay alive.

let me see if i understand this, BandWidth exploit, some players try to get more BW than everyone else, thus getting a lower ping and a significant advantage, at the same time they slow things down for all the other players?

No, they are trying to limit the data coming into themselves which makes players run in straight lines and such. I find it completely unplayable, personally.

Keep in mind that the AutoBandwith feature of the FDS never doles out large amounts of BW to players in small games (in my experience).

Ok let me see if i get it now, by limiting the data, and making players run in straight lines, they can shoot them easily and it will register as a kill, correct?

Alexraptor: That is correct.

=HT=T-Bird: No, it wouldn't... there's no sense in sending 200 kbits to a player in an 8 player game. However, your BBO can still be changed low enough to give this effect even in a small game.

I thought Satelite was very bad for playing games. How high Ping do you get?

You didn't read any replies, did you? Because you don't understand Razz

.

Yes, sattelite is horrible for playing games due to ping-issues. The data needs to go a bit far before it comes back Razz

They don't make other players lag...they make themselves lag. So if they were doing the cheating they wouldn't be complaining would they? Makes no sense:

"OMG host your server sucks because I am using a bandwith exploit that makes me lag so I can cheat and is in no way related to the type of server it's run on!"

(By the way that isn't supposed to make sense because it's kinda my point)

The only way this affects the players in your server is like Weirdo said earlier "it stops people from, abusing the function to set there own dedicated bandwith. Forcing them selves to lag, to get more "lucky" shots."

You have a God given right to be stupid. Please do not abuse this right!

Having a script like that (forcing the player to have a certain amount of bandwidth) can easily be bypassed using net-limiting programs.

Personally I dont see the point of having it but hey that just my opinion.

The point is that it excludes abusing of a feature that's part of Renegade. The use of external programs makes it harder and makes you need to download something. Considering how many players don't even download renguard, that should already take away soem of these exploiters.

So like the other day I went into a channel with 30 peops, and the ping was going crazy. Then I went into another one with 26 and the server can out on my several times, I had to watch the welcome mss quiet long to. It was Zerobs and noobstories I think. So can I asume this is related to the BW issues?
