Topic: [SOLVED] How to speed the maps in my server

Again i here, my question is that when a user comes to my server, it is possible that the maps load faster?

If I could, could say as I do to them load faster the maps to people?

Thank you very much in advance (:

Nah, there's really no way to force a higher download speed server-side. Didn't follow what's happening on git too closely recently, but downloading the last 0.6 trunk version and compiling it could help, but I believe that's client-side only.

Sure there are some ways. But however if a player loads long, it would also have a bad gameplay because of the lags.

1. You could do is that you get a better host, so that the peaople can download faster.

2. is that you could make the embledded tiles u added smaller in 512x512, so the map will be smaller and faster to download.

That's all u can do.

The latest ddrace servers have a fast download feature. Make sure it's up to date then put "sv_fast_download 1" in the config file.

Anything based off of ddrace.info trunk. I know XXL has it. It's crazy fast downloads compared to the old.

Hey dune , I had seen a topic on thedunelydune some time ago , talking about the downloading speed , and how to improve it . Will that be implemented in 0.7?

Teeworlds!!!!

I introduced the command in config XXLDDRACE and says "No such command: sv_fast_download. Is that normal? This command may be possible in a dummy server?

Setting the map download speed is already in 0.7 trunk:
MACRO_CONFIG_INT(SvMapDownloadSpeed, sv_map_download_speed, 2, 1, 16, CFGFLAG_SERVER, "Number of map data packages a client gets on each request")

I said you have to get the very latest version. PM me if you need it.

I wonder why do you always claim that there is no way to do something when you are merely not aware of one.

Because I've looked a lot in it, and IIRC it's just about the client waiting for every packet before sending one. I don't see any way to fix that server-side. If there is one, please enlighten me.

Re: [SOLVED] How to speed the maps in my server

Its quite simple, server just sends some map chunks to client ahead of time (before the client requests them). Client receives those chunks while the request for them is still in transit to server, so effective latency is greatly reduced. Server sees the rate of requests and manages the download speed to prevent link overload by keeping a fixed number of chunks in transit at all times, kind of like tcp window works.
As it was already mentioned, this method is already implemented in latest ddrace and works just fine.

Ah, so the client accepts packages he didn't ask for? Kay.
