| bigfoot send some recent news about the league servers and some ideas on what their going to do to improve q3 games on them.
following recent discussions on the admin mailing list, on public news sites and with arqon (the author of the popular cpm mod and someone with great knowledge of the way q3 works) i have decided that from this sunday onwards we will start to change the settings of the bw league servers in an
effort to further improve the connection quality players have whilst playing their league games (and others).
the first stage of this will be changing the sv_fps on the tdm & ctf league servers from 20 to 25.
this change should, as i understand it, gives a more accurate picture of what the actual state of the game is for people playing in it and effectively reduces your ping by some a varying amount. unfortunately osp currently does not have a minsnaps command so players must ensure that their snaps are set to at least 25 (simply bring down your console and type /snaps 25), you can use higher values but if you choose to do so it is reommended that you use a number which divides into 100 without recurring (for example 40 or 50). i know some of you use the values 30, 1337 or 666 as your snaps setting but as i understand it if you continue to use these settings you might not get the full benefit of this change due to rounding issues in q3's netcode.
