Sloow mission download

#1 What are you downloading? Are you running in debug build? How fast is your lan?

#2 1 machine (xp2500+ gb of ram) running release build ded server (in a seperate install). The client is running the same version minus the content (mission files, terrain,objects, etc..) What Im trying to judge if im going to need to write(via TNL) a patching server, or if i can use the built in missiondownload sceme. My project calls for potential content updates each logon..IE in the case of a end user hosted server. does that make any since?

#3 Have you tried running the numbers to see how much data you're actually moving?

#4 Not really but i noticed this before playing realm wars. What I was thinking is that maybe a mission download is not a high priority to the server..and i was hoping to crank it up a little..:)

But mainly the slowest single file is the terrain one.

#5 It takes me about 2.5 minutes to download a terrainfile size
262k on my 100mbit/lan with head from yesterday.
I really dont know why it takes so long.
Its a newmission without any interiors or dts shapes.

#6 Hmm. Oh yes. The network code is fixed rate, so you're going to have to up the rate if you want faster downloads.

Personally, I think it would be better to get the data to the clients another way - that way you don't have to worry about the game server bogging down with file transfers.

#7 I only was testing,if they want to play the game they can wait :)

#8 Hehehe.

#9 Where do I up the rate in the code?
