I do appreciate your help Tony, and all that you do for and with this mod. I apologize if my above post(s) came off as dickish or unappreciative (reading it back I don't agree with my wording or rhetoric at all). My server does in fact have other problems, or rather it did, contributing to the rubber banding, I just think those and the combination with this SMAC module created a perfect or sh*t storm.
I am running SMAC again on my test server with one less module (can't check until tomorrow) and no lag reported yet, in fact at 5:51AM it's got four people on there so it must be playable.
I'll report back what is working with DODS when I wake up and check the files.
*Edit: by the way, I'm completely ignorant to this whole "bug tracking" thing I haven't heard about until this forum. Apparently some people's projects have a streamlined way to track or report bugs other than just PMing that person through the forum??? If there is a way I'd be more than happy to help, I got a test server IP for a reason, let's throw whatever you got on there
