Race server suggestion

[Suphakrit Phantharat]

as we all know that the race server has ability to separate people into different dimension in order to reduce graphic load... so, is it possible to separate people in the ping range instead of randomly selection. e.g.

 

once the server started, the server will get all the ping value from the players then use it to calculate upper and lower avgs. for example, the ping are

 

100, 100, 100, 150, 200, 200, 200

 

so the lower will be 100 and upper will be 200. afterward use the formula to find range (ex. upper-lower/2)

 

therefore the player will be assign to different dimension based on ping ex.

player 1, ping 100 assign to dim 0

player 2, ping 100 assign to dim 0

player 3, ping 100 assign to dim 0

player 4, ping 150 assign to dim 1

player 5, ping 200 assign to dim 1

player 6, ping 200 assign to dim 1

player 7, ping 200 assign to dim 1

 

this can be separated more into different dimension (by using more average group)

 

 

why?

as you all know, low ping people get annoyed by high ping people or vice-versa (getting rammed at incredible speed, etc...). so if the player has been separated into different group (at least before the dimension merge). this might reduce the problem.

 

idk if this will work out or not, but i think it should improve the racing experience

[SDK]

In a way, this is already the case. Players get assigned to a dimension based on how they ranked previous map. So people who finish and the ones afterwards get dimension 0 until the dimension is full, then the next dimension starts filling up.

[Suphakrit Phantharat]

never thought of that :amused: but then, the player always have a chance of getting better or worse witch is more uncertain compared to ping

[Ywa]

I like this idea.

 

So if SDK is right, we could just raise the ping limit.. right?

[hulpje]

At the moment everyone get thrown into tesame dimension after a few checkpoints.

[Ywa]

Oh right. Forgot about that. Can't think of anything to solve that.

I am sure there is a way to fix that ywa.  I might be able to come up with something.  I kinda like the idea but it would put me (ping 125) with the bad pingers.  

 

What I would love to see would be a ghostmode mod that would only allow say the top 10 to 15 to not have ghostmode and the rest to be in forced ghostmode.

This would allow them the opportunity to learn to drive and not fuck up everyone else's race.  This method could also possibly work with those people with bad ping.  Force

ghostmode with ping above a set number.

I think the staff already discussed the gm situation on our server...

 

In my case bad pingers rarely bother me, now guys trying to play with 5-10FPS... fucking scary.
