Rates has to be the biggest problem with the admins on a server i admin on, some admins want to kick people with bad rates, i dont as some low rates are just standard so i feel its unfair to kick there are many different points of view and also some people have high rates but still get accused of low rate hacking.

I would like a plugin to check client rates and if they are to low adjust to within what i set, and to check maybe every 30 secs to make sure the client has not adjusted them back.

The rates to be checked should be maybe:
Code:
rate                  between 17000 and 20000 maybe ?
cl_cmdrate        between 70 - 100 maybe ?
cl_updaterate    between 70 - 100 maybe ?           
ex_interp          0 leave set to 0
so if somebodys rate is 19000 thay are left alone but if its 8000 its adjusted to the lower setting 17000. Maybe have a menu popup to the client saying your rates are to low for this server press 1 to allow server to set rates press 2 to leave the server ??

There is a plugin that does something close to this but does not recheck the settings.

Many thanks in advance

Well, it's a hard decision if you want to give up possible future players on your server if you don't want them due to their lag but these rates are better:

Code:
rate 15000-25000
cl_rate 10000-20000
cl_cmdrate 40-101
cl_updaterate 40-101

Peli, there's no such thing as good or better rates in general. You don't know anything about noonoo's server's hardware and software specifications and connection, so all you can do is speculate.

Our server is in the uk and the min and max i set is based on what our members and players can run ok from all over europe with different types of hardware and connection. A very small amount of players might suffer but if the server runs smoother as a result and stops our admins kicking people for rate hacking etc it seems worth it %100, but thanks for the advice anyway Peli i can understand what you mean.

Janet Jackson many thanks for the link i looked but missed that one, looks nice gonna have a good old read now and see what its about

Thanks again guys for taking the time to respond
