You can build the plugin on your own from the source available. @Ja-Forces has provided all the steps.

Spirit_12 thanks for supporting us.

I have enabled the tickrate_enabler and got too many disconnects on map changing Versus Mode.

Without this plugin, my server runs 3 days without any disconnects.

Plugin_print shows 1: "Tickrate_Enabler 1.4-dev, ProdigySim"

Should it be 1.4 or 1.4-dev? I got from the first post "attached files"

I just want this plugin to increase the rate from 30k to 60k (no choke) I don't mind to use tick 60.

Players disconnecting on map change shouldn't be an issue with tickrate, unless your hardware is not able to support the stress. Would need more information on this. Maybe the console log would be helpful of when the players disconnect.

The plugin says 1.4-dev simply because that's what the original author put it as. I'm not improving this plugin, but just maintaining it, so didn't feel the need to change version number.

You can use 60k or 100k as your tickrate. Its all based on the settings that you use.

PHP Code:
// Server's update rate
sm_cvar sv_maxupdaterate 60
sm_cvar sv_minupdaterate 60

// Server's Cmd rate
sm_cvar sv_maxcmdrate 60
sm_cvar sv_mincmdrate 60

// higher than 100 recommended, as ticks calculated seems to dip otherwise.
sm_cvar fps_max 600

// 0 = unlimited, but you can also set this manually. Default is 30k for 30tick, use math.
sm_cvar sv_maxrate 60000

// Setting higher sv_minrate can be used to force users to use higher data rates.
sm_cvar sv_minrate 60000 
Those are what I use, as I want a static performance all across the board as much as possible. Some people prefer to use min value as 30k, if your players have a weaker connection. Tweak the above settings based on your player base and it should be fine.

I dont see in the OP the tickratefixes.smx is it not required anymore? (it was fixing slow doors after raising tickrate).

The version i use of tickrate enabler made Overkill final broken, here is the version i use : https://www.l4dnation.com/confogl-an...9658/#msg49658 (just noticed his ftp server is dead, nice...).

Tickrate fixes plugin is a preference. You can use it if you like. I didn’t want to post a plugin in the metamod plugins section.

This is essentially the same tickrate enabler that you got from l4dnation. This one has right signatures and offsets for both windows on l4d and l4d2.

What operating system? I have it running on my Linux server and my friends window’s server. I’ll probably have a copy of tickrate fixes on me. I’ll attach it to OP.

Btw, Spirit, the problem with the boomer vomits still persists. It's like the vomits were forced to be delayed to reach the survivors and still get covered by it even though they are far away from the vomit.

^^ This!

I just loaded it on both Windows and Linux servers. It works flawlessly on both Operating Systems. Keep in mind that I use a different folder structure than what l4dnation uses. This means you will have to use the VDF file that comes with the plugin and not the old one.

I've attached the TickrateFixes plugin as well. Only change on that plugin is the syntax update. Just for the ease of update for the future or I just like the new syntax.

Note: All the credit to original authors Sir, Griffin.

i've been using tickrate enable for years, i know how to use it :p

When i tried the one in the OP (without tickrate fixes.smx) i put tickrate_enabler.dll and tickrate_enabler.vdf in C:\l4d2ds\left4dead2\addons

i also added -tickrate 100 to server's launch parameters.

I tested many times still didnt undestood why it did no work, it stayed at 30.



Then i kept everything same (same server.cfg, same server shortcut and launch parameters) i just deleted your tickrate and put the one from SirGriffin with his tickratefixes. Everything works and it run at 100 tick.


PS: server runs on Windows 10 64bit.
