Minimum move delay

This causes huge lag when people move around, CPU goes thru the roof, and some funky things happen with messaging as a result. We should probably have a forced min of no less than 100ms, otherwise it's going to cause problems. _________________ May the unholy fires of corbomite ignite deep within the depths of your soul... 1.

Guess I'll check that again. The old minimum was 250 ms, now it's 25 ms, though a true 0 ms setting with a reasonable synch delay would also work fine. As long as I calibrate it so the CPU remains at a reasonable level. Remember that the delay is always imposed when you move, but a synch time is only imposed between two actions to keep the pace of actions from being too fast and overloading CPU. _________________ John Pritchett EIS --- Help fund the TradeWars websites!

IMO If I am playing a game for testing 25ms would be sweet for doing buydown's, but if to many were doing them it could cause some serious lag. _________________ T0yman (Permanently Retired since 2012) Proverbs 17:28 <-- Don't know it, most should it would stop a lot of the discussions on here.

I cannot imagine the lag it could cause when Im running WSST, and honestly in SWATH I had to supress the text output or else swath would not respond for close to a minute. Ill test 60ms as well, this was on another SYSOP server with live settings, I might just send him a message to let him know. _________________ “The object of war is not to die for your corp but to make the other bastard die for his.” Boo! inc.

But as with everything else, I want gameops to have the freedom to decide. But I don't intend for it to ever be possible to run the game at such a fast pace that it bogs down the CPU. I will fix that. _________________ John Pritchett EIS --- Help fund the TradeWars websites!

Move delay won't affect buydowns. If 100ms is too much, make a min of 50ms at least. New sysops can run into problems here, it should be kept from causing server instability. _________________ May the unholy fires of corbomite ignite deep within the depths of your soul... 1.
