Me and LionHeart are having a problem getting on the server since its new server change...


We get this errror:

*error-image*


Hope that one of you may be able to help us out.

love the server....

Keep up the good work :D


never mind......Managed to get it sorted by deleting the said file from the main dir.

This may help those out having the same problem though...


What most likely happened is that it tried to download the file, but for some reason the download was stopped which resulted in a not-complete file being located in your 'main' folder. And then when you try to connect, it sees the file, thinking you've got the right one, but then as it goes on realizes the file isn't good and kicks you off for having a 'misformed' file. The solution you used is, as far as I know, the only working one. Just delete the file you're having problems with and let it download again and you should be all fine. :)

Antilag

Postby nrich999 » Mon Sep 03, 2007 12:39 pm

Could you pls set 'g_antilag 1' in the servers cfgs as it was before. The setting at 0 is making the servers feel totally different than they were before and harder to hit things (have to lead) even for low ping players like me. High ping players won't be able to hit much at all on 0 and won't like it. Thx.

As far as i can remember it has allways been off, apart from one time when cin asked me to change it and then asked to change it back as it made things worse.

Lets see what others say, and if the demand is there i will change it.

Antilag

Postby nrich999 » Tue Sep 04, 2007 11:54 am

It's on both servers. Both are at 0 when they were both at 1 before. Actually, it's the main reason I play your servers. You actually hit what you aim at with antilag on and it provides a fairer gaming environment for all. Thx Cpt.

Servers have both been set to antilag 0 for quite a long while, as Jamie's said, he only changed it quite recently to see if it would make things more playable for some people, which it supposedly didn't, hence why he changed it

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know the antilag setting changes the size of the so-called hitboxes. The other players you shoot at aren't one object, but made up of a lot of small cubicles. By increasing the size of these, chances of actually hitting someone are more likely. Disadvantage though is that if you're hiding just around the corner, someone may still hit you even without actually seeing you, if that makes sense.

Sam, as for your picture, do you mean the one in your signature? As that head's bobbing alright. Or do you mean your 'avatar' (picture under your username), as there's no picture currently there. Perhaps you had it up on a website somewhere and it has been taken off recently. Go to your profile to either upload the picture (if it's not too big), or put in the url of where the picture is hosted (ie http://www.imageworld.com/samsavatar.jpg). If you need a space (and cant upload it to the forums database), let me know and I'll sort you out :)

If I remember correctly, quite a while ago I had problems with gif's (like the picture in your signature) not showing their animation. This was when I used Internet Explorer and some setting prevented gif's from animating. I may be wrong, but perhaps have a look tru your settings and see if you can find something like it

ps
I've had a look tru my Firefox settings and can't find any such option, so if you're using the same browser as me, you may possibly just ignore what I said above :wink:

@ Sam can be either the following:

make sure latest Java is installed.....

clear your cookies and Temp files from your browser......

and just check that your Firewall is not blocking Gif animation.

Also make sure that Java is activated in your browser.......


may be many things..........one reason why i sometimes hate my PC.

Antilag

Postby nrich999 » Sat Sep 08, 2007 12:21 am

lol.....People use 'laggy' all the time as an excuse for getting killed. I don't get any lag whatsoever on your servers EVER, regardless of antilag being on or not. Realistically, when people moan about lag, 90%+ are lying and using it as 'the plausible excuse' for dying or not doing very well and the other 10% have got lag coz they have either a shltty graphics card, a shlte connection, a bad config or all three.
Antilag does NOT increase the size of the hitboxes at all, sorry, that's wrong. Antilag was introduced to CoD2 because the "command" actually levels the field for everyone in the server. By this, I don't mean it makes the low pingers stupider or ruins their shot, I mean it gives the server a LAN-like feel when shooting at someone.

To explain how it works, take a simple example: When two players meet in a server, one has 10 ping, the other has 100 ping. For the 10-pinger it takes 10 ms to see a person coming out of a door, for the 100 pinger it takes 100 ms to see someone coming out of a door. Now, allowing a 10 ms reaction time for both, the 10 pinger reacts in 20 ms after seeing the enemy, and the 100 pinger reacts in 110 ms. Now, antilag DOES NOT CHANGE THE POSITION THESE PLAYERS HAVE on the map, but calculates when a person shot at his enemy mathematically and subracts these ping differences to see who actually shot first and therefore shows the actual outcome of the fight.

And when people get killed behind a corner, it means the guy that shot at them had higher ping. In a LAN enviroment, they would never get to hide behind the corner because the guy that had high ping would have had 0 ping and would have shot them already.

Shots not getting registered are not because of Antilag, they are an effect of cl_maxpackets and com_maxfps, the number of packets you send to a server, or the frames per second a person has.

Thanks for reading this, I hope many will change their mind about Antilag.

Remember, every time you got killed by a 100-pinger in a server with antilag it means that if you guys played in a LAN, the guy would have killed you first. Antilag ONLY levels the field. Playing without antilag is unfair to anyone with a ping higher than yours.

Please change the antilag back to 1 on Mayhem as well as 4 Gamers. It's much fairer for all. Thx.

Rich. :)
