[FGunZ] Room Suggestion

Suggestion type:
FGunZ


Suggestion title:
Room Suggestion..

Suggestion description:
I've been watching the Event Channel for quite some time now, I mostly decided to suggest this due to the fact that whenever there's a VIP event, there are like 7-8 VIP's outside the room not being able to participate which is pretty much - unfair.
Event's are being made for everybody both regular and VIP members and most of the times, we (Staff) members don't feel like creating a new room as there will be like 7-8 players in it (assuming there's already an on-going one).

I'm suggesting to bring back the 64 players instead of limiting it to 32;

I remember at the beginning of V7 there was such an option but I don't really remember why it was removed but if there's a valid to keep it away - sure but if not now at least make it do-able in the next update or version of FGunZ so everyone can participate during events.

Didn't this cause like a server issue up to a certain point? And honestly it shouldn't be that much. Atleast should be 40 or something like 36.

64 is wayyy to much, george.
shud leave it 40 tops to keep it fair towards all.

The reason why it was removed is because players are starting to lagg badly to each other if they have to make 64 connections to each other. Also prone to crashes.

i tihnk 40 is good

Yeah I didn't consider the FPS drop.
Well at least, would it be possible to go beyond 32 players something like 42 for instance or 44?

i remember playing other gunz servers which had 64 players rooms, rooms were crashing and people complaining about screenlagging so it wouldnt be a good idea to add it

He was referring to ping, not framerate bud. :P

Yea, although I wouldn't be surprised if people with a bad PC or laptop get FPS drops as well with so many characters in 1 map.

Hosting die by nade in the shower room with 64 players would make most of the people with bad PC specifications drop FPS.

However, nobody answered my question regarding 40-44 players change..

It would yes, but he was referring to the fact that players have to make 63 other connections with the 63 people. That would cause ping issues.

Edit: on the playercount change, you'd have to refer to a more experienced dev, I've no clue how badly that could affect ping.

I think we could upgrade it to like 45.
Also you could add the no cloth tag to decrease the amount of loading (multiple clothing = more poly's and textures to load).

But with the Avatar system, people tend to put their clothes over to the avatar side. Would this make a difference or no?
Edit: Also, can it be an even number pls? ;-;

There's no way to know before-hand how badly it will lagg the players at a 45 playercount setting, only way to find out is to try it out in an update.
I think 32 is already pretty high for some players if I look at some of the pings in events.

Well if anything then let only Staff use 44+/- player count in a single room so I can test it and I'll use [NC] as StephanM suggested for less textures so less lag.

Pretty sure we could code it so it blocks avatar overrides when using NC.
Also I guess 44 for the even number :3.

Eventually we could look at the used maps for events if we have to re-create them to avoid even more memory stuffies (loading textures, lightmapping and such.. since plenty of the used maps are made in Radiant.. Z_Z)

back in days, maximum of 16 players could join a room, then it became 24 and now it is 32 (excluding other gunz servers which have 64)
i am wondering when it will reach 100 players in one room ..
i think 32 is pretty high for this game so no is my opinion

This is just a suggestion regarding events and if anything only Staff would be able to use that specific number.
Your facts are clearly invalid so please stop posting here.

I don't really see it as being needed. 32 Is comfortable to me '-' If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Yeah I mean like you're both staff so why would you care about what I suggest.
You can always enter no matter what even if the room is 20/5 you still can enter because staff and what about the regular people?
Every time there's an on-going event there's always at least 10 people outside waiting for someone to leave so they can enter, I don't see why you wouldn't change the playercount of the room because I don't see how "32 is comfortable for me" is a valid one? You're staff, ofc it's comfortable for you @Sonji lmao..

Not sure if you missed it but.. I was thinking with you for a solution, doesn't mean I still think 32 players at max would be fine.

I'm still a player on this server, I care what's suggested.

And also, we already had a problem with 24+ people recently that changed our entire way of hosting, I don't feel like dealing with other probable problems when we should just have other staff to make a second room. Back when we another 32+ people waiting in the lobby instead of 10+, a second room was always made.

If it absolutely needs to be changed, change it to 40.

Doesn't even have to be all the way to 40, should just be 36/38.

Don't go off topic.

OT: Maybe 40+ will work... not everyone is interested in events anyways

I guess trial and error is the way to try this.
And some reliable feedback of course.
