The ping shown on the scoreboard is nothing more than a "filtered" or clean version. The engine takes an average so it doesn't just jump around like crazy when you show the scores.
When the user puts in +66 the engine doesn't see that as a number for the average ping calculation, so it shows the minimum ping ( which I guess either depends on engine -- or game ). So that's why it shows up as 1. In HL2DM the minimum is 5. But in either case, it doesn't do anything for the player except make it look like they've got really good ping. -----Original Message----- From: Ulrich Block [mailto:ulbl...@gmx.de] Sent: Monday, August 03, 2009 12:07 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: [hlds_linux] cl_cmdrate +XX Recently i saw a few players with a ping of 1 at their scoreboard. I wondered where they come from and why they had a constant 1 ping. So i checked their netsettings and found out that their cl_cmdrate was +XX . The added a "+" infront of the value. I tried it on my own. And i also got a ping of 1 at the scoreboard. The netgraph ping seams to be not affected by this. Now the question: What das the "+" mean? is it just a fake scoreboardping does it more, or is it maybe a indicator for a cheat of somekind? _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
