geekboys has done a good article explaining in depth the half-life netcode. Apprantly it adds an extra 183ms of lag by default, no matter what internet connection you are using. Check it out here

interesting, that site layout is very, well, erm?

f***ing s***?


heh.

suppose on a positive side, HalfLife is better for hpb's to play on though.

q3 is almost impossible to play with dial up :|

Then buy cable.

lol i get less than 50 pings all the time so that's just plain ghey

interesting, sort of :|

that site layout is cool!

its not impossible to play q3 on dialup!!!
u cn still play q3 effectively with a ping of 100-200... its not the nest but its still playable.

omg interpolation adds 100ms to your lag, lot of load of s***
interpolation only estimates player positions between client refreshes
it makes it look like you got 0 lag
@#Q$@#$ HOW DOES IT ADD 100ms ???

its pseudo geek mathematics Hast


it doesn;t have to make sense

this isn't really news

(almost..promotion..worthy)

have you got HLDS ping booster on ausgamer's cs + dod servers?

goa it takes too much cpu power for what it does

I certainly agree with the bit about default graphics, sounds and models but with accuracy. As hast said, i don't really get why they claim 100ms delay on the server - it's not like it takes 100ms to calculate the response or something.

are you saying that getting rid of over 150 ms off the latency isn't worth the extra cpu strain?

if it means you have half the capacity, yes. it's not that big a difference.

Heres a quick way to explain Half-Life netcode :
Hmm, this bullet goes here.. this one here, here here here here here.. there we go
OH MAN, JOIN THE DOTS AND ITS A BUCKET AND SPADE

asif q3 has a default 150 pings, load of bollocks.

oh well got a christman service to go to.

man
interesting read :) thanks

that site layout is oldskool! \../,

OH MAN, JOIN THE DOTS AND ITS A BUCKET AND SPADE

don't you mean a bucket and half a coke bottle?
