denybuild and allowbuild

lol thease days there are soo many noob builders.and there used to be a vote for denybuilding.now iits gone and noobs rein free.
lol can you give it back?
or am i missing something?

well yesterday i was trying to call a teamvote, and somehow i got the console to say "valid teamvote commands: denybuild, allowbuild, kick, mute" and some other stuff, so im assuming you can but its hard to do so?

and yes i really think a build policy should be made because i see alot of stacked whitenames all go granger/c-kit all the time, and in a few minutes voi-la! 5 second lag shield.

/callvote team denybuild name

The so-called lag-shield is due to a few bugs in Tremulous mods, especially the fact that it treats buildables as Quake3 game entities, which shouldn't be that much of a problem unless there's lots and lots of them, which is probably something developers didn't predict at that time.

What happens is that, in order to save bandwidth, the server only sends to the client information about what is in view. When a player approaches a laggy base, the server suddenly starts transmitting a spam-ful of information about the buildables in view, which lags the connection (and results in the perceived lag-shield). Smart incremental delta-based update techniques could prevent this issue. Second issue: the builables seem to lack LOD (level of detail) graphics optimization techniques, which makes them quite expensive (slow) to draw. This is the reason why people get 3 FPS in the neighbourhood of a laggy base -- the computer draws very far away buildables in full detail, which is quite dumb.

I hope this clears up any questions related to laggy bases in Tremulous.

but there is one question left: can we get rid of them?

im not stupid
ITS NOT THERE!

what server are you attempting to denybuild some1 on?

well noob builders dont go to ACR it to un-nooby for them

NO DU
ACR UNLIMITED!

lol ok w/e u say chin
