Hit Registration

[Box Cutter]

I have had a lot of players on my server lately complaining about the hit registration being bad on my server. Is this something that I can adjust to make better? Is any of my plugins possibly causing this to be off? Any advice would be great. TIA.

well it can really depend on a lot of things..
the servers rates
the players rates
how many metamod plugins (and if you run hlguard, which options you run)
how many amxx plugins (and how well they're written)
what the plugins are doing (how much cpu they use up)
and this could also mean those people complaining just suck :-Prcon stats will give you a general cpu usage (tho many tell me its not a totally accurate thing and you shouldnt totally rely on it)

for me.. i would say my avg cpu reading on a full server (20players) is about 40ish..
..except on avalanche it can hit numbers like 60ish...

but i do get complaints bout registration (also mostly on ava lol) but only now and then do i actually notice it myself.. and quite often it happens when the server hasnt been restarted (not just changelevel, but fully rebooted) after quite a while..

one thing you can try is rcon sys_ticrate to increase the ticrate (which you should notice an increase in the 'fps' shown on rcon stats) but you dont want to go too high with this.. as it will make your server fps jump around a real lot and that doesnt benefit you either... im no good example of what to use as im constantly playing with it.. but i usually run with just a little increase of like 140 or 160.. sometimes i try 200-240, usually never bother going over 300

As far as the server rates go I used the same settings out of the calbasic.cfg, so I assumed that they were decent settings. I do run HLGuard and have Wallblock turned off because it was lagging the crap out of my server. Other than HLGuard the only MetaMod plugin I run is AMXX. I put a list of my plugins below incase you notice any that might be causing an issue. Thanks for the help.

I was told that "shrikebot" messes with hit registration as well.

Every time I log onto my server I type this in my consol.

interp (switches frame interpalation to OFF)
ex_interp .00001 (forces the frame rate to .9 milliseconds

and between the two of those I dont have any problems with hit registry on my server ( for me anyway ) also all my clan mates do the same thing and it seems to fix their registration problems as well.

In the mean time I have just gone thru and taken off plugins that are not really necessary to help cut back on the problem.
