Lag.... And what effects it's speed. - James` - Nov 21 2012
LAG: Is defined as a noticeable delay between the action of players and the reaction of the server. Although lag may be caused by high [U]latency[/U], it may also occur due to insufficient processing power in the server. (which is hardly the case when it comes to warlords servers)
The thing we believe to be the problem of lag.
Ping: A utility to determine whether a specific IP address is accessible. It works by sending a packet to the specified address and waiting for a reply. PING is used primarily to troubleshoot Internet connections.
2 basic elements that are actually the problems of lag.
Latency: The amount of time it takes a packet of data to travel from source to destination.
Bandwidth: The amount of data that can be transmitted in a fixed amount of time.
Together, latency and bandwidth define the speed and capacity of a network.
The Do Nothing Strategy.
For hit detection in first-person shooters this means leading one's target, aiming at the position where it will be by the time the shot reaches the server. With variable latency this may be frustrating even under ideal conditions; with higher latency and random player movement it can make playing virtually impossible.
Client Side Strategy.
Two basic methods, Extrapolation and Interpolation. Google'm bitch.

James you're on to something. If this becomes beneficial and clear, I'd propose it to be stickied for future references.
ps: I pity the color-blind people who won't get to see the effects of your artwork.

Thanks spart. I was honestly just doing it to shut those kids up who keep complaining about ping when that isn't the cause of someone's lag. If you'd like for me to go more in depth on something let me know.

Me and my Friend Wiawyr had discussed this in the Dm, that is, before he got bored of owning everyone with 3.00 kdp and left.
I just don't like the fact that you can set your rates to make your serverside latency say 5!!

Didn't I make a post about this?
Quote:Clients cannot lag servers with their ping. It is impossible. They can lag servers by doing weird things with mods, physics props, and other things that cause the server to start processing more things than usual. Think about it. How could a person who purposely downloads less from a server cause the server to lag? All it does is gives them bad hit registry and gives others bad hit registry on that player.

Cause he knows I'm kidding. If you got a problem with me there's a flames section.
