Lag?

Lazarus

<div class="IPBDescription">Lag and the mod</div>just thinking, wont be some huge lag on the servers when there are so many possibilitys and stuff in the mod?

and also, havent got the right picture of the mod, (tho it looks cool) but like how will ppl gain recorses and stuff? what are the alien classes going to be? what are the commanders abilitys going to be like?

In regards to your lag question, that's the sort of thing that would only be visible during playtesting. Sure, lag might occur with the huge amounts of graphics, and swarms of aliens defying physics and gravity flying at you... but that can be said about any mod. Truth be told, lag exists, and will exist on any server, but not necessarily because of the developers 'over-eagerness'.

Just because there is a ton of options, that doesn't cause lag. Lag is from too much data trying to be sent over your connection and slowing down. Unless you somehow activate ALL the options at once, it won't matter as each command will be sent out by itself (shoot, jump, climb on wall, etc) meaning the lag will be fairly equal to mose other HL mods out there.

another way to lag is because of your fps its not really lag but its everything is a little gittery most of this happens if your computers porformance is low.

and another reason to lag is because of the server your playing on (sometimes) but if its not those its either because you have a 56k modem or your cable modem is having troubles.  :)
