Punting problems on some DFLW terrains...
I've made a lot of terrains lately. On certain terrains, like the one in my avatar, it punts anyone that joins. It doens't give me this problem in
df2, just dflw. I'm sure not going to stick with df2 and its ugly software driven graphics engine that has more perspective correction problems than
the PS1.
1. The people joining also have the exact terrain files--in fact, the entire game directory is an EXACT copy--it's my computer in the next room.
2. I've checked every possible combination of advanced server preferences that seems to be the answer to many other people's problems--scope drift,
unrealistic need-2-feet-of-vertical-mousepad weapon recoil, etc..
3. It can't be a ping issue if the computers communicating with each other have a lag of less than 25.
I'm not sure what to do. I've read every message I could find here and the answers given have not helped me. I'd probably find the message I was
looking for if the search engine could actually find two words that aren't next to each other.
I know DFLW has some weird thing where if a character goes up in the air too quickly they get punted because it assumed it to be a cheat--I wonder if
my terrains might have too severe of inclines or something. I'm just not sure.
Anyone know anything about this? Is there a hack that's out there that blocks the punting feature? That sure would be nice. I love my
Roger-Dean-esque terrains and would love to share them with others, but with these problems I'm having, it's not very feasable.

I should also say that I am not using DFfavorites, so that couldn't be the issue either.

I should ALSO say that it punts quicker on levels that I have changed the sky graphics that use files that are a larger filesize than about 20k. It
generally punts people in 60 seconds, but on some of the terrains that use larger sky graphic files it punts people in about 10-30 seconds.
I've also tried the same terrains using the original sky graphics and they do the same thing as my custom 20k sky graphics. 60 seconds and then
punts.
