JAP 2 Posted October 9, 2002 Hey all, I was wondering. Lately it takes ages to get into a dedicated server. I ve seen more "wait for server" screen than action itself. I have a feeling it because alot of people found out you could add custom sounds and it takes ages to download them when loggin onto a server. I like custom sounds but if it means that you have to wait ages i have to revise my opinion and say that custom sounds are a "bad" idea. Is there any news on limiting the total amount of sounds that you can have ? ( i think it s now on 400kb which is hell if you logon to a dedicated server where 20+ people are on and 1/2 of them use custom sounds ) Just your thoughts.

Also the limits suma announced still allowed for several hundred k per player - enough to slow any server down. Check the thread about the new patch, where I jjust put up the same question. I think Suma is reading that thread, so we might get an answer there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I'm sure they implemented the size limits for the single sounds, as Suma had stated already the maximum size per sound and stuff (so I guess it was already implemented then). What's much more interesting is if they added an additional server option to limit the absolute amount of custom sounds per user! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blomstermann 0 Posted October 10, 2002 We simply tell people to remove the sounds, then asks them to leave. If they wont, we kick them. If they come back still having the sounds on their computer, we kick them and add them to our banlist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kermit 0 Posted October 11, 2002 That's a good idea. It's not too harsh, nor too lenient. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
