Ring Community Improved

Post by Zapple »

Yes, I convinced Faramir to change tail leanths to 600. No more infanant tails. I think he is going to change it back to 2.6 because that 2.7 server is too laggy.

PS Tank- You need a "Ring Community" under servers.

Thanks for reporting this. :)

We'll have to look into this and verify if, in fact, there is new code that is slowing down the 0.2.7.0 servers to an unbearable level.

Currently, I don't know.

Any more feedback on this would be great.

btw, just in case it's not clear- i was applauding the switch to receding trails only. i can't stand permawalls since they were specifically engineered to irritate me. :(

otherwise i know nothing of the 2.7 server issues, altho the client seems to run jerky on this PIII 800mhz, which is strange because ish-admin was telling me that it runs fine on his celeron 500mhz machine.

Hello all! :) About my server:

1) Yes, there are no more permanet walls, at this moment the server has the WALLS_LENGTH 700 value.
2) In addition, and taking the advantages of the new version, there is a Death Zone instead Win Zone.

About the lag... At the first moment i installed the rpm binaries at guru3.sytes.net/armagetronad but finally i compiled the 0.7 source for my specific linux core (Fedora). I think my server is running better with this change.

I have noticed some complaints from some users about they have more lag playing in 0.7 servers. But really, at the moment i cannot affirm surely that Ring Community Server has more lag with 0.7 than with 0.6. If i have time i'll run another armagetron-dedicated process in 0.6 and i'll try test this question with objectivity. I'll say you the results :)
