Usually its 'netdelay0' which is used by a host to level his game ping if the server gets a bit laggy. Now i did stumble across an article , yrs ago, on DF2 , where some servers would set the ping rate 'high' to match their connection, like someone in INDIA hosting on a 56k , connecting to NOVA in Calif. ( INDIA* is simply an example , as its quite a distance from Calif). So ie: if i played the server, even though im on cable , it would be laggy at best, however they (the host) are used to it, and would probably win. On the subject of typing something 3 times, lol, it may have been the server playing a sick joke on ya, or they had 'altered' their game files to accept an invalid command, but, as a host, this would be done on the 'command prompt' screen, and should not be visible to you as a player, like 'text talk'. ps. a game is only as good as the server, and the lower the ping , the better the game, or 'more accurate' the above link is a very detailed description of 'REALITY' and you may want to read it in depth, so you will understand 'game ping' a bit better.

hope this helps

hey rambo hope this helps when you host maps out especially deathmatches when there,s a lot going on in the game and if some1 states that the game is laggee then press the @ key then the message box will appear at the bottom of your screen then type the word netdelay as you see it here no spaces then hit the enter key you will then see a message display in the top right corner of your screen it will say delay set to oms meaning 0 milla seconds this will only reduce lag for a short period of time.And as for ping times as it has been mentioned ping times can,t be reduced ping times are to do with the server,s connection speed i wish you well and all the best **MISTIFIRE - - -**

1 more thing

just 1 more thing i forgot to mention when you,ve typed in netdelay and like i said its only for a short period of time you can type netdelay as much as u want to help reduce lag when ever other players state that the game is laggee just just do what i mentioned in the last post wish you well and all the best **MISTIFIRE - - -**

HEY RAMBO

well

hehehe

lol

Maybe help...

Theres a trick we used to use in delta force 2

netdealy does nothing for players suffering from lagg,ask nova or look in the favs FAQ all it does is slows down the comands comin from the host ,makes no odds to host as he doesn't get lagg anyway

punt crc clears the hosts ram cache not the ban list

so if you want to help ppl with a lil lagg punt ur crc

or try askin the ppl screaming "LAAAAAAAAAGGGG" to punt their crc , it should come up with 1-8 all with zero's if not try again if still not clear they need a reboot

well if you know it all why dont you tell us all why they have the option to do netdelay?

and why does net delay 1 make the delay 209ms

and you can also tell us what is stored in your crc cant you??

I mean i can I already have your crc stores baned players data And i take it youve been banned from a lot of servers and there for you want people to sumpcrc so you can re enter the rooms

or of cours if your telling the truth You will be able to tell us all why the net delay option is there
and why its called NETDELAY and not
"totaly nothing to do with the delay on the net"
And punting crc may reduce lag But only becous it no longetr has to remember who has been baned or not

dflw.2ya.com.. If u bothered to read all of the thread, u would see what u posted was already covered. Don't insult people here just because u have ur underwear in a twist. This thread has been answered. as good support is what we give

lol I like you
Good to see people actualy do have some humor in them at this forum

hoooooweeeeeee i like him..........zesty

what possible reason would i lie about commands on a game ?


banned players data is stored on a text document called "BANNED", and when you quit hosting,if you hit esc +y you lose any banned players from the banned list......but if you use command line and type "quit" the banned players are saved to the text document....but i guess you knew that

"PROBLEM:
What is NetDelay? And does it cause LAG?

RESOLUTION:
The Netdelay command sets a delay on outgoing commands other than your position information. In theory setting it on your client could give you a disadvantage by making all of your commands go through more slowly.
A serve and play host could use it to give themselves a slight advantage over other players (by setting a high netdelay on the server), but that\'s about it. Otherwise it doesn\'t do anything.

Note that it has nothing to do with "lag" which is internet latency, this is just a delay on outgoing commands.

lmao your full of yourself aintya

no i'm not saying that,thats novalogic the folks that made the game that are saying that

lol no host suffers very little lagg if any at all

uumm yeah i knew that

i generaly do a lil research before i post BS on a forum....should try it some time you might look inteligent then

cya around programmer

and before i forget......no i haven't been banned from a lot of servers

i have been banned from one server because i called him out for using a trainer
