Hello! New to this forum and I must say the game looks promising. But the lag is killing me! I set up a server on my own computer but it still lagged as hell. Is there something weird with my con (DSL 2mbit) or maybe with the software?
EDIT:
Oh, and can I set a server to erase the player data when he/she dies. Like in nethack, when you´re dead you´re dead.
The immense lag
Re: The immense lag
Luke! Use the Source!
More seriously, though, you can set a perma-death option somewhere in the code. I think it might either be in the Makefile, the server config file, or perhaps somewhere in the bowels of the source code itself. Good luck finding that! Wish I could remember.
The lag issue is a common problem on Windows machines. There's just no nice way to use the precompiled or non-Cygwin Windows servers. Sorry!
