The Pingkicker.

[jelli_belli]

Yeah...but will me and ministry get immunity?
And sory fart...

[Ministry]

Or we could just be KOBK members / Admins ^^

Hopefully Vin remembers all our love =]. I dun care if you put the HPK on kick all the other yanks Just not me, Orrrr maybe jelli :d.

[jelli_belli]

Im not really asking to be an admin. All im asking for is for me and ministry to hav kick immunity.

aaawww man! This sux since it is true what Jelli and Ministry said. They truly are OG cause they've been on the
server since it opened up Vinyard if you can do that it would be cool. I wouldn't want Jelli and Ministry to go and
get owned at another server, i want to own them myself j/k but anyway, although we want the server to be
lag free, I'm sure there is another way to solve this.

I told you [Zero86ea] 200 max ping would be too low for a server that already has its lag issues with people in distant areas from the server location. I think it would be best if we set it a bit conservatively; like 400 minimum. In that case, we [the ping kicker] only kicks those who are REALLY lagging, and not those who have a stable but not too extreme ping.

I agree that people like jelli, Ministry, etc who have helped out the server by just playing shoulld have the right to just play; I have never really payed attention to their ping, but im sure its probably below 400 average (or else I doubt they would play alot in there).

I think 150-200 would be fair only if we had a better connection / bandwidth [ie. Fiber optics or upgraded Cable/DSL ). But we can't be too picky about it right now.

Also, the server will sometimes lag like crazy for over 15 seconds... that might also be a problem.

Tell me what you think people! Vinyard, zero, do you agree?

And yeah, "immunity" would not be the solution.

hmmmm 400 max doesn't sound too bad & yes skaterbasist is right, we can't be too picky. The ping (lag) is not what causes the server to slow down. It is actually packet loss that everybody hates but doesn't know it. High ping is not what makes people skip or teleport every ten steps. (hacks or packet loss) This brings me to the next thing skaterbasist said.

Also, the server will sometimes lag like crazy for over 15 seconds... that might also be a problem.

This is actually my work around. The reason it lags for so long sometimes on map start is because people are downloading the map & custom files. Which causes 1/2 the symptoms if packet loss as the packet isn't fully lost just delayed by around 1 second or more.

Thanks for the suggestion skater. I will most like pump up the max to 400 & still do the work around I was thinking of earlier. That should give us a very stable server.

Haha, Sounds awsum ^^.
Im average 270ish ping and Jelli is around the same;
The 400 ping is a good idea because I often seen afk people that have 600+ Ping, And usually no one listens to me to kick them.

Also would you be able to find + Install a Afk kicker, Because I often try to join the server and wait 5mins or more and when I finally do join I see alot of afk people, Like if there inactive for 5-10minutes they get kicked?

Thanks for the positive responses guys

*Btw some of this smilies scare me, there like egg heads O_O*

[jelli_belli]

Yeah thanks zero, appreciate it

[jelli_belli]

Ill be playing heaps on weekends.

I have now taken care of the map downloading causing lag. The ping kicker will be installed soon.
