    Each command has different type of things that go with it and errors that may happen if not used correctly.



    Why isn't there a ?sheep command?! I want my ?sheep !10/23/1999
    I don't know. Go bug Jeffp.


    What is the 'Rotation Ramp delay' for?7/5/1999
    This is a setting in the game, under options. The lower you set this, the faster you rotate. Unlike subspace, you can give yourself rotation upgrades at will :)



    What does the ?lag command do, and what does it mean?7/5/1999
    Typing ?lag displays your ping and packetloss in the game.

    The ping means the time, in milliseconds (1/1000th of a second) it takes for you to send data to the server, and back. This is a natual delay. If you've ever played Quake, you'll notice the lag, because the higher the ping, the longer delay there is for your to move, when you press a key

    In Infantry, this is changed, so instead, everything looks smooth, but the graphics are set so that even if it looks like you hit something, you probably didn't, because the guy isn't there, it only looks like it because of the lag.

    In most cases, this isn't even noticable. Pings under 300 are usually ok, <100 is normal for cable modems.

    Packetloss is the amount of data that is being lost between you and the server. The more data lost, the less things the server recieves.

    If your packetloss to the server is 5% (not good) it means, for about every 100 shots you fire, 5 of them don't affect anyone, but 5% of the shots you take, don't affect you either.

    If you have a 33.6, neither of these should effect you, unless JeffP spills coffee on the server box again ;)
