Need to force ex_interp from server.

soontheking · **Author**

I am head admin on a CS 1.6 public server and have FTP access. This server automatically sets everybodys ex_interp to 0.1 .... i want it to be forced to 0.009 but i cannot see where to make this setting. could you help me by telling me which file is it located in? thanks
also, is there any way to force a players updaterate, cmdrate and rate too?
(i dont want to use amx_exec)

thanks

Obviously you have no idea about how this cvar works, so please leave it allone for anyone else on your server.

You need to make a plugin that will do that, like amx_exec, but it will set client cvars when the player enters your server. I don't know if that is considered as slowhacking if you change peoples settings without asking them or notifying them.

Best Regards!

ROFLMAO, that is the definition of slowhacking. You should know better than that. Also, as Mordekay said, neither of you know how that cvar works so it should just be left alone.

well the slowhacking is already happening anyway as the server sets the rates to 0.1
i just wanna change it to 0.009
the server is always full (top50 worldwide) so i didnt wanna risk doing something wrong, which is why i posted, and not so that you guys could make a joke out of this.
i bet you must think you are really great.

I had also a PUB-Server where I also needed this Plugin... some time ago.

0.1 is the fixed rate by the engine and the HIGHEST possible value.
0.1 means 100 milli seconds. 0.009 would be 9 mili seconds. Means that anyone with a ping higher than 9 mili seconds will get problems because the client would start interpolate other clients movements, which will cause clients starting to complain about "lost bullets" and that tey where unable to hit something. The correct ex_interp value for is different for EVERY client!

Again: stop messing with cvars you got no idea how they work!

0.009 was an example. I wasn't aware that such an issue would be made out of it.
I will be setting it so ex_interp 0 so it suits everyone. at least the ones with good ping would be able to transmit more data.
now someone tell me how to set it already! or are we going to beat around the bush and get nowhere? i have enough people getting annoyed already that the server sets their ex_interp to 0.1 ... thanks,i really need it

(i have looked at sbg.cfg but that looks more like a notification thing. i want to actually set it)

ex_interp got NOTHING to do with the maximum data anyone can send/receive. And the ping also got nothing to do with it.
A tip from me: stop messing with your clients, they will simply leave your server!

ConnorMcLeod · 07-01-2012 , 04:01 Re: Need to force ex_interp from server.

An acceptable plugin would be a plugin that would consider the highest ping of all players, and that would set every client interpolate value to that ping + 10ms, if that final value is < 0.1.
But this with players permission, and a way for players to restore their value before exiting the server.

But again, 0.1 is internet value that works fine, and 0.01 is LAN value that is not suitable at all for playing online.
