McGrandpa [AGQx]

I've been running a Halo server a little here and there. Wondering if any of
you
have been on it. McG's is the place. Looking to talk about the game and
want to hear ideas about maps and stuff.

Hi McGrandpa,

I play Halo several times a day. In fact, all day I've been
working on improving framerates in Halo. I started at just
25.30 fps and have managed to get that up to 39.12 fps in
the -timedemo. In the actual online game I've managed
to get my framerates up from 19 to 29 fps to 43 to 85 fps!

I'm keeping a journal and plan on posting the methods soon.

I've no idea what my actual framerates are. The game is
smooth as silk most of the time. There are moments when
certain players drop in that things get a bit choppy. I think
this is network related more than rendering.

You know of any console commands that work? I can
get the console, and I can get screenshots, but I haven't
got the console to act on anything yet. Know of any
lists of commands?
That's good work with the framerates on your rig. What
are your specs?

Mine:
P4 2.66/533, 1 gig PC800 rdram, FX5900-128, XP pro.
Using onboard LAN card (Realtek), Roadrunner cable,
LinkSys befsr41 router/4 port switch. UPnP enabled.
It's workin! ;)

Hi McGrandpa,

I don't run a server myself to have needed to use any
of the console commands, however they are neatly
listed in a readme.rtf file provided with the Dedicated Sever:
1.02 http://halo.bungie.net/site/halo/features/hpcdedserver.html
1.03 http://halo.bungie.net/site/halo/features/hpcdedserver_103.html

The 1.03 version has additional commands for TK banning, etc.

Here's the system I use condensed into 2 lines. :-)
XP Pro SP1, DX 9.0b, ASUS P4PE, P4 2.4, Intel 845 v5, 512 MB RAM,
DSL, 430W P/S, SBLive!, MSI G4Ti4200 64 MB v45.23, DVD, CDRW.

Thanks Jimmy, got the pages saved for reference. I see we
will be getting some editing tools, hopefully soon :) I'm sure
there are folks wanting fem avatars as well as male. Plus
lots of other ideas.
Have a good one!
McG.
