Mysterious Stranger

That guy running OpenJK in 1.00 is a programmer/does his own coding. Perhaps you could hang around his servers and talk to him. Also CTF3 was also changed.

CPU% is under 20%. Never more than that. Network activity, almost none too. Indeed I'm worried about that. But if everyone were overusing their resources shouldn't my CPU usage shoot up? My host asked for a screenshot of proof, but there isn't anything (that I know of) I can give them. I offered to pay to go back to my old specs, but they said it wasn't possible. I'd hate to jump hosts

It's SSD caching I mean. Yes I've been talking to Caelum even though he doesn't need to help me, but he's nice enough to explain a couple of stuff to me. Here's your screenshot. This is one of my European servers and my ping is normal. Just the circled lagometer. I posted it on WHT to see what replies I might get and here are two of them: I'm waiting for my host to reply me on if they can take away the SSD acceleration but my hopes aren't high. Unmanaged service. Lol.

I'm not sure whether this is in the right area, so feel free to move it if it isn't. Recently my host upgraded one of my VPS to enable SSD acceleration. The thing is, now my JKA servers are a bit funky. I see yellow on top of the blue line, not often, but it comes and goes. It's sort of like when you copy a huge file while being in the JKA server. Except that there's no 'connection interrupted'. The only other time I came across 'lag' that doesn't lag normally, is when I ran JKA on a Cloud. Idk what's the difference between what I have now and Cloud... Question is, how is it that the VPS is supposedly better but gives such performance? I'm very happy with it if not for the yellow every so often. I could copy giant files and the server doesn't lag. But, the yellow! Secondly, should I junk the SSD acceleration and go back to old school? I want stability. Nevermind if it can't run 32 players smoothly. Or is there some sort of setting or optimisation I need to do to fix this weird 'lag'? OS is Win2008R2. I should add, the servers are on one core each, and tiny TFFA/Duel servers. And empty. :<

Yea they could. The master server went down a couple of hours few days ago and then back up. Every so few times a year.

Its buggy, the in game overlay, ever since they updated it. I have issues gettinf it to show up or load properly in several games.

Nope. If you tried running an online game, ie Empire at War which has SP mode...it wont launch.

No way to do that now I'm afraid. I must have clicked on every possible button but there isn't such a thing. The only thing I found is limiting update/download schedule but that should be across all games, not disable-able altogether.

Well I feared as much. What's going to become of mods in future? They could have just let us do what we want after it's proven paid for ...

Ever since the recent Steam update I notice that I can't stop updates for my games anymore. The issue is that I was playing KOTOR 1 offline since my home net has been down, applied two old mods I'd downloaded from Filefront quite a while back. When I got a wireless hotspot set up, Steam decided to update itself and ever since then my game has been crashing. I went into the game properties, under updates...there are only three choices! Auto update, keep this game up to date always, and top priority to update this game above other games. ARGH. Is there a cure for this, which I think not? :<

Sci-fi with action. You won't believe how terribly boring Star Trek is. What a pure waste of technology and blasters that are appropriately used in Star Wars. Not fond of novels, comics and TV series. Even some of the movies with certain characters suck ass.

Restart the server every day. If you're running a mod then less than that. I had this old mod that caused it right away after 4 hours of uptime.

I don't know but I like default Siege. Can't make any sense of MB2 and it's just too hard for my ancient brain to figure out how things work.

Lol, I had to check my makermod folder. I don't see the rules!

Only one option allowed in the poll? D: CTF & Siege for me. But only when there's teamwork involved. I miss strafing...good old days.

See if changing the wifi channel might help. Like if it were on default set it to 9 etc.

Maybe either a outdoor graveyard part next to the buildings of the map or a forgotten tomb under the building or something like that? Yikes, the neon Kyles. Completely forgot about that. I think I wanted to force everyone to use forcemodel. >.< I'm very fond of detailed and beautiful maps. Not just scenery but how well colours, textures/theme blends and sometimes contrasts.

How about part of a Sith cemetery? That might make it more interesting. Maybe some booby traps, tread on a wrong sign or something and you get -50% health. And I hope I'm not one of those you mention despite the love of neon bottles!

Can't do anything about it.

I vote for Porkins. That big fat orange model from MB2.

Triggered by stepping on an ent boon or ysalimari. Unfortunately that means it's map-specific.

Well. It is possible with scripts but I don't know how to get that to work. I've come across something before that sized you up when you interacted with it. Perhaps someone else with better scripting knowledge could help.

Golly I love the first pic though...gonna see if I can replicate it someday >.<

Damn, if only the pics display in full size. It's all thumbnails even if I click on them.
