Bandwidth Reducer by MeRcyLeZZ
http://forums.alliedmods.net/member.php?u=33273


This is a great plugin i found as comment on the following thread:
http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthr...reducer&page=3

It allows to override various functions server side and helps
to reduce the traffic the server sends. A nice side effect
is that it removes chokes too and the gameplay is much better.

I had a great performance boost when i was running the plugin
the first time.

Anyways, everything good has something bad, you'll notice
that some animations are badly timed if you turn to many options on.
See the script comments for more details.

Currently it looks like that the author MeRcyLeZZ is no longer active
on this board, which is the reason i'm posting the plugin here.

So if you have some more suggestions to reduce the server load
and to improve the performance please share it and i'll try to update
the plugin with it.

Thanks and regards.

All Credits goes to MeRcyLeZZ.

thanks for enlighting us, and yeah - in a perfect world nobody overloads
his server with plugins or mods and is not limited to cheap shared host.

AWESOME, installing right now.

Please make setting through a config file so we don't need to compile each time we want to test another config.

[endeffects]

you are right, i'm going to add pvars and dead body removal (required for one option).

also i'm thinking about to add some ent-removal support for breakable ents,
boxes, doors and ambient sounds.

It can be even changed in runtime.

This should work in runtime. It loads config each round.

well ... we can choose settings in an interface / settings .... friends from other countrys told me, that its not basic for them.
sooo ... sry ... didnt know that, but here its standart.

i didnt want to critism you or your plugin ( your plugin is well done, GZ )
Its just .. in germany every hoster has basicly standarts for servers - you can customize everything as you want ( any settings ) .. so this plugin is never needed ( for us ) .

Anyway, you made a good job ... i just thought its standart for you, too
