Server News

Hello Z fighters.

For the small ECX Big Pack 8.4 community that we have who encounter my listened server,
you may wish to know a few things about it. And now that I had to reinstall the entire game
(because of a steam issue), it's a good opportunity to make some changes.

Now I'm not sure why but I think it has something to do with the Half-Life update; my game experience is suffering some moments of battle neck regression[after a while the keyboard and mouse are less responsive]. So I went on google and made some research to find out ways to improve my game experience. And I ran into a very interesting command.

If you have trouble connecting because of long loadings,
Open console (default key is ~ , it's the key to the left of number 1 on your keyboard)
Type in console:

fs_lazy_precache 1

then press enter and get out of console.

This will disable the precache. The precache is a feature which loads up to your computer's RAM memory, different content such as game characters. The more content you have the longer the loading goes.

When disabling the Precache, the content of the game will be load on demand. e.g. during game play. It's good to keep the precache on (fs_lazy_precache 0) if you suffer too much of FPS(frame per second) issues in general.

However, if you are having trouble connecting to any server because the server's amount of content (in ECX it's the amount of characters ) you may wish to turn off the precache (fs_lazy_precache 1)

I personally turned off the precache because of the amazing speed of loading. As I'm myself trying this feature, I am yet to decided rather I wish to keep it.

However since I do not suffer major FPS issues, keeping the precache off seems ideal.

As for the server: Power Level Catch Up is OFF -- e.g. You will have to actually fight in order to gain KI (or ask the dragon for strength) and you will NOT LOOSE KI upon death.

Friendly Fire is ON -- it makes things a lot more interesting. It makes the player care more about beam spamming and keeps you on alert. Team killing is not allowed. A rude violation will cause a Steam ID ban.

And there is one 3rd party map you may wish to download in order to play in the server
(I will not allow the server to upload files because of my poor bandwidth I would like to prevent lags as much as possible)

The map is esf_babidi_ship

P.S - No screenshots for today. Steam "repaired" my ESF folder by removing all my games content.
