ok you all prolly know of the removing sound to get rid of lag, well i summed this up better for you so you get sound without lag (well most sounds). go to your wav folder and highlight the first 28 sound files and right click and click "cut", now make a new folder named anything and right click in it and click "paste". now you will have no footstep sounds while playing (which is number 1 cause of lag while running). i did this and have no lag now and its not that bad of a loss and can stil hear the enemies nearby, now, if you still have lag during fighting cuz your on a 28.8k connection or lower (pity on your soul) then do the same with wav files 29-31 and you'll have no swinging bashing clunking sounds, hope taht helps.
man i should be a mod for giving this great help out.

Some one posted away back about using your RAM to fix your lag somehow but you needed more than 128 and i only have 128. Ill try your idea though........

Hexen,

When you selected the *first* 28 files, did you have them in decending alphabetical or sorted by the modified date? in either case the listed files will be different.

Or Potter, to do it the long way, double click on the sound file, if it sounds like footsteps, move it to another directory. simple.

the first thing you should do is run a traceroute. (tracert at dos prompt)

if your getting about 1000ms ping through bt or teleglobe, then there's not much help for you.
The only real options are getting Cable/ADSL/ISDN. (in that order).
or upgrading your PC. get yourself extra memory, its about £30 for a 256mb DIMM.

other than that, your gonna have to put up with it.


Does anyone know the packet size of info sent from the server to the client and vice versa? if its a large packet then it's gonna be slow on my 33.6 modem

up that put sounds into ram or something but it was for ppl who

This was addressed by Benin on his site way back in september...
PLUG HERE FOR YOU BENIN!!!!http://www.rpgplanet.com/mir/news.asp


The sound files have been recorded in high bit rate. Whacking someone doesnt need to be in stereo. Cool edit is a nice program to convert all your sound files to mono. Then you can have them all and still play. Like you really need to hear raking cats in stereo right?

http://www.rpgplanet.com/mir/guides/lag.asp

Get the script

http://www.rpgplanet.com/mir/guides/steromono.scp

the file : http://ftp.syntrillium.com/pub/cool_edit/ce2kmain.exe

And with credit to benin who gets all my jokes from work read his article! I did this with Mir and told a few m8tes in my guild about it. Runs great and far less lagg in crowded rooms. You'll notice fire sounds are the worse lag gennerators.

Won't this mean that someone could sneak up on you, without you hearing?

I meant other players coming up on you, in the dark forest where deadly yeti (and LouD) live.....

Come to think of it, do other ppl make noises when they run? I dont think they do, do they?

remvoing footsteps removes your AND other peoples footsteps ( see i knew you all wouldnt even care for foot sounds) but mobs dont have foot sounds but they do have growling, oh and my first 28 files were just labled 1-28 maybe cuz i got windows xp.

if ya have a poke about in the sound file (C:\program files\WEMADE\sounds) you can find some intersting stuff:

try:
102.wav sounds sorta nice
1110-# is a GK
OmaW 1220-# are the OMA warrior sounds
1320-# sounds familiar
1410-# think its a bone elite
1720-# ghoul soound pack

these will scare u, so get a cushion
1800-#
1910-#
1720-#
1500-#
