Correct, and please make sure you use the console command before the new players connect. The limit is in effect until the map changes, yes.
The plugin algorithm itself is very reliable with re-checks and no kicks after the player has already been verified to have a low-ping connection.

Hello there and thanks for the reply.

So...

Manually entering for example "sv_maxping 70" every single time the map changes is a requirement.

This means i need to do it manually and yeah very stupid decision i do agree....

Thanks for the reply and take care :omfg:

Hello Micropoint, this plugin is no longer maintained as of 2013. See my comment history below!

Everything should work fine in the current state except for Automatic enablement/loading of the plugin. Manually entering for example "sv_maxping 70" every single time the map changes is a requirement.

This is due to the active decision from the NS2 developers to disallow custom configuration settings in the main server config file. If you can think of any makeshift solution to this problem, please report back and I will see if I can incorporate it into this plugin. I will not adapt to this obviously bad decision by UWE though...

Unfortunately this issue is difficult to fix or work-around since core NS2 code strips away any custom settings from the ServerConfig.json and breaks loading of this mod.
It's not an error in this mod itself, but a bug in NS2 which causes this.

It is possible to manually enter e.g. "sv_maxping 300" into the server console every time the map changes to make this mod work properly, but that's kind of stupid.
I will report this bug to the NS2 developers! :tcry:

Thank you for reporting the mod as broken with the latest version. I will attempt to fix it.

Nice illustration I didn't understand the concept without it.

I get that this is for servers, but why not just set the server serch for a lower #, like a maximum of 90? I do get that the ping goes super high and not very low but still.

Version 2.1 is now out! New in this version is:

* possible rare bug eliminated
* better readable code
* supports new .entry loader system (Priority 8)
* tweaked multisample timings
* New official mod image :D

Some certain issue or just kicking high pingers in general?

I think kicking players with >150 ms in latency is a good option, if your goal is to have a server where no massive lag compensation occurs at all.

Version 2 out! :D It turned out REALLY well.

The ping check is now delayed by 5 seconds, multisampled over 15 seconds, and if the ping is exceeding the set limit, the client receives a warning message.

I am planning on adding more stuff shortly, such as "your ping is too high" messages to the kicked player, multisampled ping to counter jitter, and making installation more compatible and simple with other mods etc.
