Cable Modem Set Up for TFC

[|C4|Pikachewy]

Could someone tell me wot the best config setup for TFC is with the ntl cable modem - ie
rate
pushlatency
updaterates etc etc etc etc
I was snipering the other day (pi$$ing around on turkey burgers) and my sniper red dot was lagging behind my crosshair. thought that was odd for a ping of 30

cheers.

I've got a Telewest BlueYonder cable modem. You can have a mess around with these to find what best suits you...

[All bold writing; type in the console]

cl_lc 1: net enable lag compensation (if server enables with sv_unlag 1) [Flags: ai]

cl_lw 1: net enable client-side (lagless) weapon animations and sounds. If 1, weapons animation and sounds will fire instantly, but the real shot must be acknowledged by the server to happen, so animation/sounds may not match server reality. Leave on (1) if you have lag compensation on (cl_lc 1). [Flags: ai]
(basically has your sniper dot dead centre on your crosshairs, it doesn't lag behind it)

Rate 9999: set rate that client will send data to the server in bytes per second (suggested starting values: 1000-4000 modem, 5000-7000 ISDN, 6000-10000 cable/DSL, 7000-20000 T1, 20000+ LAN) -- bad values cause LAG!

cl_cmdrate 45: net set the number of times per second that the client will update the server. Leave at 30 (or lower) for modems, set to 35-55 for Cable or DSL, 50 for LAN games. [Flags: a]
(I've yet to try this one)

cl_updaterate 35: net set number of updates client will request from the server each second. In general, the more players in the game, the lower this should be. Lower than 12 will cause choppiness, but 15 may be great for some slow connections. Cable and DSL connections may like 30-40, unless there are too many players on the server. FOr lan games, use 50. [Flags: ai]

pushlatency 0 or -30: net set pushlatency (try around -1/2 to -1 times ping) -- some people say using non-integer values (like -100.0521) reduces lag [Flags: a]
As for pushlatenty, I've never seen a difference when I've lowered it. So I left for the time being. I did read somewhere that a cable modemer had it set at zero for best performance.


Using these commands above, you should see a slight improvement, although it depends on the server, time, day, tidal streams (:E) and loads of other factors.

If you do make a booboo then take a gander at the Halflife Console commands (http://half-life.pcgame.com/console/all.html) webby :)

Hope I've been of some help, any more questions ICQ me or reply below. :)
