How would it be to install zeroping?
I mean, you admins could make a test or a poll on this forum, if it is wished or if its just crap - or maybe install it for a week or so on the server, just to see if it rulez or just sux *g*
P.S.: i know everyone here on the forum has the right to make polls, but isnt it a little bit risky? At least me, i ask first

From my own experience, I can tell you that zp creates more problem than it solves.
This utility may be cool if everybody is running on 56K connecting to a low BW server but as soon as you have a good connection and a large BW server, it is useless.
More then that, from the tests I made, it has funny results with LPBs. Plus the fact it was previousely hacked to outpass anti-cheat protections whereas non-zp servers were safe...
Overall, I don't really believe in this technology. If it was THE solution to lag problems, all servers would run it but it's not the case.

True.
One program like ZP can't stop real lag. It's lag bethween your connection and the server. So how the h3ll could a program or a script stop a ping or to lower a ping?
It does not make sense..
That's only my words. =)

a script is run from your comp but its less details to sent to the server then your movement, wiith an aimbot they should hav the same ping as what the normal player does, maybe a betta ping then most due to movements being so fast instead of by a human where each movement is slower, if u understand what i mean??

You are right Filthee but in fact, if you really thing about the problem, what zp does (or tries to do) is that it transfers the lag from the moment you fire to the moment you are fragged (because you cannot remove lag).
This leads to funny situations where you (a LPB) are fragged by a player (a HPB) who shot a number of milliseconds before the current time (corresponding to the difference of lag between you and him). This is because on his screen, you are in his line of aim but in fact, you are already away. So you could end-up being fragged by a player not even aiming at you (on your screen) !
As you can see, this sounds already weird.
Now imagine 14 players with various connections and various type of lags in form ("lag" can also be created by a "slower" computer) and shape (lag varies during time !).
I don't think there is any improvement zp there. At least, when you don't have zp installed on the server, players that have a good connexion are not "annoyed" by players that don't, except the fact they are a bit more difficult to kill.

I agree. Verry good written Noir!
That happend me many times that a person killed me but he/she have not the aim on me. Yesterday someone killed me then I looked at his back.. then BOOM and I was dead from the same person. Lag is verry crazy. But this is verry interesting to. Time to learn more about Pings and Lag.

well im pissed of the problem that i know! i shoot someone and he kills me because he got lower ping laag seriously i got 140ms ping to i4 thouse days and u can imagine thats no fun at all, and im pissed of that killing problem cos that is not fair that sum1 still lives cose he got a lower ping / less laag. and its no training at all
im still for the point of "test" ZP. but as cn said its no mystical wizard stab for all problems with lag.
thats my point of view i don't want to offend anyone..

... and i think that lag and ping are unrelated ... i'm one of those lpb's, and i experience lag very often ...
player gets in my line of fire, i press the button ... nothing happens for about two million years ... then i'm dead, but i see the bolt from my shock rifle hitting the spot where the other player just was ... and i read something like "ha, ha, ha" or "sucker" ...
sometimes i want my 56k modem back ...
