  1. Lol really? A minion modpack :D? I will jump in for a bit to look around, but tekkit doesn't run well enough on my pc for me to actually enjoy it. The original muppetcraft and current vanilla run just fine though. So I'm not sure what sort of optimization difference are there between tthose.

  2. Let's start with the OS you are using and exact model of your headphones :) and how old are they?

     

     - Have you tried using them on different usb port?

     - Have you tried uninstalling/re-installing headset driver?

  3. You can't join modded muppetcraft with cracked launcher, not only for piracy reasons, but because of various different security reasons that come along with that.

    Unfortunately, current muppetcraft server is inaccessible due to Mojang changing the ways authorisation works. This requires muppetcraft launcher to be atleast partially recoded and compiled. That, I know of one person currently who'd be capable of that, Fleshpulse. With holidays season going on making everyone busy, I wouldn't expect a new launcher any time soonish.

    Muppetcraft is also outdated by now, due to developers dropping their projects on certain mods, that made the server different from all others. So there is also a question - or maybe already made decision - whether to continue this setup at all.

    You can talk to Miraro, who I know is somewhat running the updated vanilla mine craft server. I assume the same applies there.

    otherwise I would welcome you arms wide open :)

  4. So here's a little something I've enjoyed listening over quite some time.

     

    AMARANTHE

     

    Amaranthe is a Swedish/Danish band that fuses melodic metal with pop melodies.

     

    Formed by Jake E (Dreamland, Dream Evil) and Olof Mörck (Dragonland, Nightrage), the project began taking shape when singers Elize Ryd (toured with Kamelot) and Andreas Solvestrom (Cipher System, Within Y) signed on, as did drummer Morten Løwe Sørensen (The Cleansing, Koldborn, Mercenary). Bassist Johan Andreassen (Engel) joined after the photoshoot for the Leave Everything Behind demo but before the recording of the first album Amaranthe.

    In May 2009, the band was forced to change their name from Avalanche due to legal issues.[3] They later released their first demo, Leave Everything Behind.

    The band's debut album, Amaranthe, charted in Sweden and Finland.[4] The album features a combination of modern metalcore-style breakdowns, harsh screams and heavy guitar riffs with soaring clean vocals and synths reminiscent of modern metal.[5]

    Their most recent album, The Nexus, has been released in March 2013.[6]

    In October 2013, Solveström left the band and was replaced by Henrik Englund (Scarpoint).[7]

     

    Music Syle:

    The musical style of Amaranthe has been described as "a healthy dose of pop fused with a heavily metalcore-inspired melodic death metal sound".

  5. Middling around bios can fry your pc or a single component, so unless you know what you change, don't :D

    setting memory timings manually while they are not automatically detected correctly should not be an issue. Also check if your memory runs at required voltages. There is a chance you broke your old memory when trying to switch them. Check if your OS sees all the memory you have physically installed. Does the performance drop appear on desktop or with any other game or program you are using?

  6. Run ET as admin first, if it does not work, I suggest you reinstall graphics drivers if you are using integrated graphics adaptor, specially often on laptops. Driver installation must also be ran as admin :)

  7. Your desktop have 800 x 600 resolution?

    you might want to change these both:

    seta r_customwidth    800 

    seta r_customheight    600

    seta r_displayRefresh   0 <-- set this to your desktop default also.

    And this, you have this setted with both functions, just normal fire and also with sprint and fire, use either, not both at same time:

    bind MOUSE1 "+vstr AT1 AT2"

     

    Thanks Smirre!

    I had terrible lag issues on new etpub server, nitmod was fine, the only thing I did change, was adding that r_displayRefresh to what I had my monitor set on into a cfg file and after that I've been having a lot smoother gameplay, no strange teleportations or constant lags, no constant lagspikes on lagometer, steady fps and ping gone down to bout 10-20 points! - so far been too good to be true :D Had a few enjoyable games last night on etpub because of that. Something I've missed a lot! I would have never thought something as simple would matter that much, does kinda make sense, but still :P

     

    Thanks a lot man! :)

  8. Some unscheduled network maintenance is going on. This should be done in next 30minutes. So the server will be back real soon :)

     

    Well, internet doesn't run itself, it occasionally does need some loving to keep it up.

  9. Thanks Smirre and Micha! For more informational posts!

     

    However, for me, you can call it my imagination, but a setting hunkmegs to 192/256 aint having no effect at all. It's only when I set it as high as 1024 or 2048, my game on etpub becomes running smoother. Be it for whatever reason. I would record and show the difference. But as again with a lack of time, it's not really my priority nr 1 to take the recording atm.

     

    This topic really is more of way to help getting smooth and stable FPS - which I think is more of an issue with our etpub than other mods, - than a lag fix. This does not make you immune to internet lag, which is dependent on a lot more than just your pc and cfg in game.

     

    It worked for me, hopefully helps someone else as well :)

  10. Now, I know I titled it as a lag fix! And really is only one simple step to do.

     

    What people often describe as "lag" on etpub, yet say their pings are fine, is quite often something else than a lag! It's your FPS dropping below what you are normally used to play on etpro, jaymod, nitmod... I'm sure some techguru can actually explain why it is like that.

     

    I thought the same thing about etpub for a long time, and is much the reason it was mostly unplayable to me over more than 5vs5 games. People were just teleporting around me and my mouse moving like as if I had it in wrong configuration, skipping parts of the screen and suddenly appearing on a tree not my enemy. This was really because of I had standard fps like 10-30, which doesnt really translate into particularly smooth gameplay. Occasionally I got like 50-60 fps, but even then it felt as if I was behind of the actions taking place on server.

     

    I believe this is the case is with most of you and what you say is the fault of a "server lag"

     

    Fix is this

     

    /com_hunkmegs 1024 or 2048

    /vid_restart

     

    - After that, type into console /com_hunkmegs and see how much ram is the game allowed to use. So long as it says any of the values behind /com_hunkmegs or showing it as "lached/cached" memory that you entered, its working if not, u need to restart et and do it again or put it into your autoexec.cfg

     

    These are the 2 values I use myself, and I have exactly the same smooth gameplay as if I had on jaymod server! I can now set my fps to 125, 333 or whatever I want it, and most of the time, it stays there stable. So please, try it before you accuse server lagging.

    I also know ET as itself, shouldnt really be able to use more than 192 or whatever amount of memory, but Ive tried this with several pc's and always had the same effect. All of the PC been much more than capable of running ET.

     

     

    Cheers and I hope this proves to be useful for you guys :)
