Title: New cl_cmdrate
Post by: jitspoe on March 02, 2004, 08:52:59 AM

Well, I've done some tweaking, and now it's possible to backdoor pforest with a cl_cmdrate of 10.  It's really choppy, but it's not too hard to do.  Next step will be to make a cl_inputrate so the input will behave the same regardless of framerate (so you can do those trick jumps even if you're playing on an old voodoo at 20fps).

Sets the number of packets per second your client sends.  The way old Quake2 was set up, you sent a packet every single frame.  If you were getting 200 fps, that meant you were spamming the server with 200 packets every frame.  Big waste of bandwidth.  I separated the frame rendering and packet sending.  Now packets are sent according to the cl_cmdrate rather than cl_maxfps.
