For those who've not yet noticed, crossfire's nationscup was recently announced. To follow this, the release of the rules & config for the cup are also now available.
Rules can be seen in the sticky article to the left, along will results, captains, and lineups soon. The config can be found here.
Notable changes to the config include:
Simpleitems can now be selected by b_simpleitems 1
Ambientscale is now forced to 3
Rate is now forced to 25000
Maxpackets are forced to 100
Maxfps can be between only 60-125
MG42 is disallowed
edit: Config was updated at 19:30 on 25th June, please update if necessary - available here
turkey + israel + usa + canada will play too you cant just kick them out with ur own desire :x
he is banned anyways :P
IN 1-3 imo
you're joking, right?
Thx hentai!
Only when people have 80+ ping, then they're unhitable, so disallow people that have 80+ ping imo!
still would make some players more hitable :P
btw: no b4 suxx :(
@edit:
ambient scale sounds "good" -> all dark-config players will play liek they got hacks with glow models now !
gonna try this out then :)
Seems like it only makes a difference on areas with light.
there are some maps that will be ridiciolous with r_ambientscale 3 and sheeps config though, ill make some pics
well i just remembered that i edited some colorbit stuff also so that the cfg isn't so green and ugly, if you want to try it ill upload
i want to test the ambientscale ingame 8D
check my profile if you cant find santje! xD
it won't help vs unhitable people and will make those who have fps drops more unhitable since their packets will fall down every time their fps does
imo just force fps to 125, packets to 100, ping not higher than 50 and max settings config only and you will have the selected 14 players in NC
low n00b cup, I won't play
maxpackets 40!
You're actually making it worse
Maxfps IN 62-125
Rate IN 16000-25000
Ambientscale IN 0.5-3. Don't force it.
Thanks.
I agree on the fps, pax and ambientscale there tho, shouldn't be forced to the max value imo.
what will change?
we wait so long for that great cfg....
Maxpackets 100
Rate 25000
now we can see pure skill versus haxors
no more warps at least !!!!
now even camper behind corrner ...will be so much easier to hunt...
oh and pls why 60fps? =[
oh and i loled that so many guys were whining about unhitability/forcing packets to 100 etc and now i can hear the whine that forcing to 100 is wrong.. hahaha hahaha :D
and game times?
in the clanbase NC, it's pretty much useless for australians to play, force us to wake up at 5am and play with 350-400ping. if that is the case then i'd pretty much say australia would not be applying to play, or you will see a 3rd rate team (and there isn't that many players left! so low+)
If it is in fact similar to the wc tourny that mtm or someone ran a year or so back, where we were able to compete with equal pings and play on a sunday night (afternoon for cet) then i would say the chances of australia playing with the top team would be extremly high.
:D
(probably goes the same for japanese, however they are more dedicated!!!!)
+ nice rules
Can play for the country they live in if they've lived there for more than 1 year. wohooo :D
Maxpackets are forced to 100
fucking owned :D
mg gone is great
ambientscale shouldnt really be forced but many would use 3 anyway i guess
rate affects client only so its stupid to force it higher to avoid lagging only thing it will do is make few people lagg even more coz their net cant handle that high packetflow
maxpackets 100 is useless also but it doesnt matter much
why why why?
i cant get 60 fps
and 1 good thing about 100 packets is that lagscripts become useless
fix the football game pl0x!
let's just hope the next cb cfg won't adopt this maxpackets and maxfps crap. com_maxfps 111 ftw
nice fuckup hentai!
2bad4isdn users :'(
Simpleitems can now be selected by b_simpleitems 1
Ambientscale is now forced to 3"+
ET IS ALIVE
Rate is now forced to 25000
Maxpackets are forced to 100
Maxfps can be between only 60-125"
ET IS DEAD
The value of r_ambientscale is used by an algorithm to calculate how much of the surrounding light the models are affected with. This algorithm is running constantly so regardless of the value it's still doing it's calculations. The lower the value, the more surrounding light affects the models, so if anything IF it had any effect on FPS, a higher ambientscale should actually increase your FPS since the higher the value, the less effect it has on the model.
So with these settings u make this game unplayable for some ppl.
Edit:
60maxpackets is the maximum i can play btw, rate 25000 should be possible with low codec settings in comms.
But i just wanted to share that ppl with ISDN might get problems with these kinda settings.
P.S.
Are u living in spain meanwhile or just random flag ?
Ambientscale is now forced to 3 => IN 0,5 -3
Rate is now forced to 25000 => no point in regulating this cmd, remove it
Add b_helmetprotection if you want allies to be a tad stronger and make the game a tad more aggresive
as i have previously said, the best australian team (which has a track record of finishing 4th best) will more than likely not be competing due to not being able to play on an EVEN ping server at a time that would best compensate both teams.
this is due to hentai having the opinion that, majority wins (whatever that means) and not (one of the better) teams getting a fair and EQUAL chance to play in a _NATIONS_ cup.
05:27.24 ( hentai` ) (20:25:05) (hentai`) i don't give a damn how good you are
if you want to see the best of the best from around the world, then i will implore opposing teams to allow australia to play on a server that will allow for a server that will offer the most even base in regards to ping, that being a west coast american server, on a time frame that will not be punishing towards both teams. that being, around, 15/16 cet and 23/00 australian time. on a sunday.
as it stands, from my understanding of what hentai has told me, for some reason this _NATIONS_ cup is "( hentai` ) it's a european cup" that may or may not be able to accommodate nations from around the world.
would not be fun to pingrape on some euro server 50 vs 300 :/
On behalf of the European community I'd like to state that we actually want to see a nationscup with Australia in it. You really spice things up with your team. Imo, if you talk to your opponents, I'm sure that something can be worked out. Like Lettu said: it's no fun for the European teams to play with a huge ping difference. And previous cups showed that playing in the afternoon (CET) is fine too.
maxpackets IN 60 100
maxfps IN 60-125
rate IN 20000 25000
ambientscale 0.5 to 3 dont push it dont force it let it happen naturally :)
Dont look at me :)
these setting will make things worse in the end. Having more highping laggers and people with unstable packetflow...
rate in 15000 25000
maxpackets in 60 100
maxfps in 60 125
mg and simpleitems are nice tho but those 2 little changes cant rly change that the whole config is pure shit.
and if you want to make a nice cfg you should instead force fps to 100, maxpackets to 100 and make sure that everyone has pc and connection that can handle those, else its just bullshit to FORCE one value.
How can people whine about the settings when they don't even participate in the cup, i mean how fucking stupid can you be!!
joking or serious?
-> that fkin sux
