"Welcome to Deathball" removal

Surge · Post by **Surge** » 14-06-2003 05:20

While testing DB when Cata was the coder i remember playing an early version of 1.5 or 1.6 on the SoP server and he removed the "Welcome to Deathball" message and there was no more join lag. I'm also thinking the skip in the server caused by join lag my also atribute to the crashing on connect?

Might want to check it out but i ask that you remove the voice, it just causes join lag and is completely un-necessary.

Ya I remember when cata did that and a few people tested it. There was no more join lag if i remember correctly.

never noticed, but an option to disable it could be nice if that's true

no, its built right in the game.. you cant really make it an option. Its there or its not basically, but yes, it does cause join lag.

er the only lag i get is when someone clicks to enter the map, and your pc loads there model.... not the sound at all o_O

and im on a slow loading pc.

no no, its sort of a bug type dealy.... see go play a deathmatch game and watch people join, theres no lag unless you have a really bad comp (like a 412). We've tested it, it gets rid of it.

well....if this is the reason for the join lag, so kick it out

If it causes lag, it must go...

Could try and make it server-specific.. like if a server wants it on, keep the sound.. if people really want it, im sure someone cud split it off as an option

meh, wadda i know .. or care

I never get the "welcome to deathball" anyway, i just get "---eathball"

i think it'll be essential for publics if it's removed, but for wars there's no need as you wait for everyone to join

, and i tested it too, in fact i hosted the server for cat and i remember that the 'wecome to deathball' did cause the join lag.

the sound is cool, but the lag is really annoying
