I played Hooks place tonight...

[Hermskii]

That being able to tell where people are freaks me out. The low grav freaked me out. It the Deemer you hold smaller? The high speed of the game freaked me out. I liked the map DM-But thought it was small. Would be a total blast with 12 real players!

I'm not trying to sound negative. I never play of other servers so every little difference jumps out at me when compared to CG being the only redeemer server I ever really played on. I got the red flag of lagg here too but again for just a second. I did not stay the full round cause I don't like playing bots but everything seemed good especially his welcome window. I need to get mine fixed! Peace!

* "being able to tell where people are..." that is the PirateRadar stuff.
You can also tell by the color of the distance numbers (in alt-fire mode only) weather they are real players or bots - this helps keep players from chasing down bots and to encourage them to go after the real players instead.
The radar can be turned off if wanted - Both in the alt-fire "riding" mode of the redeemer and in the PirateTranslocator - I have had more players liking it than not - I am still on the fence with the radar.
* I have always liked low grav and I get a lot of compliments from players for using it - it is PirateGrav - this version allows the use of JumpBoots and other things.
* Yes, the redeemer image in the HUD is quite a bit smaller than normal Redeemer Arena.
This is Gopo's idea and a good one - so it doesn't block so much of your view.
The deemer image can also be "Ghosted" but I turned that off because it tended to really Show Up when a player was in a dark area of a map - you could see that ghosted deemer a mile away!
* The "high" speed is because of the game speed is set to 104 - this is because I had complaints of the game running too slow for most players.
And - YOU told me the old SRA was set to 105, so I did similar with {CMM}'s speed.
* The red flag of lag comes on every time a server does a travel - every server.
* "everything seemed good especially his welcome window. I need to get mine fixed!"
Thank you!
I can FIX yours! - I also sent you instructions for this a while back! Let me know!

I don't like playing bots but everything seemed good

- Just a reminder - we have Custom bots in there that are "tweaked for redeemer" and SOME players actually think they are real.
ALSO - In MapVote you have a Choice of playing With or WithOut bots!
Good for if you are in {CMM} with another player or 2 and you just want to play with those real players and no bots!

DM-But

- Did you mean "DM-Bullet"?
Try the DM-Unit maps - there are 3 - really good and my favorites - or DM-Coke series - 2 of them.
Or DM-Mita and DM-Mita][ - awesome fun!

I have been playing ut again for a while, just not been posting much, and hook just wanted to let you know that your server is always at 300 or so ping for me which is why i have not stopped by that much.
its not like that on other servers but i was once told that anything over 200 ping is client side.
any ideas? (anyone?)

[Hook]

{CMM} is in the mid-west (Minnesota and is also Home Based) and even some of the rental servers (like in Chicago) give a higher ping to Californians.
The mid-west servers seem to really favor people in the south east like Florida even.
SB (in Florida) loves servers in the midwest - he says his ping is great from this area.
Most players that I have seen when I am playing stay between 90 and 150 - with occasional "spikes" either way.
People from So. America - usually between 200 to 350 if I remember correctly.

Also, I have seen many players play with pings well over 200, and they play very well!
I used to play on Dial-Up years back with pings in the 150 to 350 range - I did pretty good.

Another thing that affects {CMM} is that that server is on our Only Computer.
My wife is on that comp a lot so it messes my server up at times!

If you want to play another good CROSSBONES server that has Much Better ping, (even playing PirateDeemerCMM), - try {CLD} CROSSBONES Lucifur's Den
This is a rental server that I co-admin with Lucifur.
It has 10 game types/varieties on it including PirateDeemerCMM.

BiGbOsS - here are some pings I noticed last night on {CMM} and {CLD}...

On {CMM} last night and yesterday I was observing player pings for several players.
They actually ranged from about 90 to 140 (one guy was in the low 80's) for all the players I observed.
Not sure where they were from.

Now, on {CLD}, I played with a guy from Los Angeles CA and his ping ranged from 35 to 50 at all times.
If YOU played {CLD}, I bet you would have a Great LOW ping there also being you are in CA.
Our {CLD} server is Located currently in Los Angeles CA.
MEAT also!
Fuzz_Ball? - you may have a good ping also being in AZ.

[gopostal]

I'd think that pings of even 250 would be tolerable and playable? The redeemer uses a lot of client side coding, so it's sort of like running a semi-version of zeroping. I've played matches with ping~200 in deemer and it's not bad. It's not 15 ping, don't get me wrong, but you can still compete unlike an insta server.

[MEAT]

My ping at {CLD} is around 40 and at {CMM} I average 150.
And depending on the weapon the differences are playable.

[-HellFire-]

I had 164 ping on CLD when trying BT, impossible

That is about what I figured for you MEAT.
When I play MRS or CG, I usually average about 130 to 150 myself for either one.
Sometimes less later at night.
CG is in Houston, TX and MRS is in Monterey, CA.
I am in Minnesota.

WOW - from The Netherlands?!?! - to Los Angeles CA. - that is Very Good!

PS: I'll be Out of town this weekend so {CMM} May be down. (wife grrrr)
But - {CLD} will be up and Many of CMM's good maps and PirateDeemerCMM is on {CLD} too - not ALL of the maps from CMM but Many of the Good ones.
