Hello modders.
(background story)
I have a competitive mod server, where we would frequently arrange an American vs Europe match, with an EEUU intermediate-latency server.
So Americans have 200 average, europeans have 150 average of PING. We, SMP mod developers, believe that this matches deserve some kind of "equality" at least regarding to latency.


So, what i would like to make is a "ping adder", which would increase a team's latency to 200 or 300 if set.
The plugin should be able to increase one client's latency to a given value, so he would play with more ping/latency and thus reducing that client's "fluidity" (to make him play with lag).

has anyone tried something like this? any hint would help.

Stay well, alliedmodders community

Uuuh, in most countries DoS (Denial of Service) is illgal, (it's basically sending so many requests to a system that it lags/crashes). As far as i see it thats the only way of making someone lag, and no one on here will help you with that. Tough there might be some way to make a players performance worse or something.. No idéa..

The only way that you could cause lag, would to fake packets to the client. which would need an extension, and it would just be harsh on your server, really something like this would be more hassle then it's worth.

Ok guys.
So this problem doesn't have a simple solution.

I might just try to settle a midpoint server between EU and America.

My other possibility was to ask people to play behind a PROXY , but explaining them how-to would be too much hard

Write an application that forwards all traffic but with a delay.

Case closed.
