I don't lag.
That would mean you play on servers... And according to this... http://dpball.com/forums/index.php?topic=3015.0 well... You're banned.

(Unless you where talking about graphics lag )

Yeah...?

30ish fps will help you with triple jumps..

LMAO

Quote from: Spook on September 01, 2006, 02:39:29 PM

i knew nothing of fps till a few months back but ive heard that lower fps helps with triple jumps but i was so used to doing it on my default (200+) fps that it only seems to hurt instead of help when i lower my fps

LMFAO

You guys are so badass.

I don't get how their quotes were funny.

Please explain.

namebrand · « **Reply #25 on:** October 09, 2006, 11:11:50 PM »

yeah 30fps totally is good for water jumps too...lmao

Eiii · « **Reply #26 on:** October 10, 2006, 12:25:31 AM »

Yeah, apparently it is. What's funny?

loial21 · « **Reply #27 on:** October 10, 2006, 08:00:37 PM »

You lost me? Is your fps a factor when jumping. You can start with YES or NO.

In short, yes.

Come on, loial21, you just basically asked what this whole thread was about.

coLa · « **Reply #29 on:** October 11, 2006, 11:22:32 AM »

whats the command to limit your fps cl_maxfps <number>

bitmate · « **Reply #30 on:** October 11, 2006, 11:29:03 AM »

Yep.

Code: [Select]

cl_maxfps <#>

jitspoe · « **Reply #31 on:** October 11, 2006, 12:20:27 PM »

More important is cl_cmdrate, which controls how many packets/second are sent to the server. Quake2 tied the packets and frames together, but paintball2 separates them a bit.

If you're getting 200 fps and your cl_cmdrate is 60, you will be sending 60 packets a second. If you're getting 60fps and your cl_cmdrate is 60, you will be sending 60 packets a second. If you're getting 30fps and your cl_cmdrate is 60, you will be sending 30 packets/second (you can't currently send more packets than your framerate).

coLa · « **Reply #32 on:** October 11, 2006, 12:28:48 PM »

so it would be a good idea to set those both at the same number then??

jitspoe · « **Reply #33 on:** October 11, 2006, 02:07:57 PM »

No. You will likely miss the timing on your packets and not get a consistent packet rate. The default settings should work fine, but if you want to have your framerate consistent with your packet rate, set cl_locknetfps to 1.

SkateR · « **Reply #34 on:** October 11, 2006, 02:21:13 PM »

mines cl_maxfps 0 and cl_cmdrate 80

also use:

cl_sleep 0
cl_locknetfps 0

coLa · « **Reply #35 on:** October 11, 2006, 08:02:41 PM »

wtf is cl_sleep

Guilty of missing that quote completely!

Bah!

That was not my intention.

I was trying to refocus the attention back to the topic. Looked like it worked. I was also hoping for a detailed reason how it helped. Got that. Thanks for taking the time on explain.

Mission Accomplished.

I have a question about this, I will pm you later about this as its 8 year old hearsay.

Eiii · « **Reply #37 on:** October 11, 2006, 09:21:48 PM »

More like cl_sleep 1, so Paintball doesn't consume all of your CPU.

jitspoe · « **Reply #38 on:** October 12, 2006, 10:58:47 AM »

cl_sleep # gives your CPU a "rest" for # ms, so it either doesn't have as much usage or it can run other processes. I mostly have it in there so it doesn't hog up all the CPU while I'm trying to debug.

coLa · « **Reply #39 on:** October 12, 2006, 11:34:12 AM »

so what would be a good number
