How does nexuiz even work on a modem line by the way? if i rrecall correctly with 8 players you hit a bit over 100kilobit traffic...

It was not a question for you dark_link, butyou might have interest in the answers, as I'm not sure its possible to play nexuiz online with a modem. Do you know yourmodem speed?

yeah, 39-45.2 kilobytes per second. What does that have to do with anything?

When you play nexuiz online, I'm not sure that is enough, as there quite a lot of traffic that will be sent between you and the server. If you play locally. it doesnt matter.

But as I said, I'm not sure how much bandwith is needed to play. Someone answer this please. Esteel?

tChr, speak english please. I have no idea what u mean. I thought internet is all the same, right. Why does it matter if I have dial-up or AOL?
My dads computer has AOL, is that better?

I'll shut up now

down! bad phreak!

384kbit/sec downstream, 98kbit/sec upstream should be enough, but then constantly (not going up and down all the time) and with a fast response. Quality, not quantity is required. Actually there ain't too much traffic as my network admin in the company examined with 3 nodes in the company and 5 from outside playing. Well, downstream possibly could be less, it's just an estimate by my admin.

I have tested this on a server with 2 players.

The average net usage for the client is:
down: 31k
up: 32.4k

So you should alt least be able to play 2 player matches with a modem. more players would causeyou to lose packets now and then, i gues, so the motion would be a little more jerky as more and more players conencts to the server, but I think you should be able to have some fune nonetheless

There is a guy named Dave on this site who said that he would send me a CD of the Nexuiz download, so I should be able to play within a matter of days! See ya there Tchar, Esteel, Dave, and anyone else who were nice enough to post things here to help a person they don't even know! I feel like I have just made a bunch of new friends, but if what I have heard about Nexuiz is true, that it is a game of competition (a one on one fighting game) then my friends may also be classified as my enimies. See you on the battle field!

You are right that nexuiz can be played 1on1, but also 2on2, 4on6 and free for all up to 64 players!

So.. We look forward to seeing you on the servers, and have fun

Edit: btw.. there is a new version of nexuiz (version 2.0) coming out in a few days.. so maybe you would like to wait for that before getting the CD sent to you?

Indeed, I will wait until Monday so I can supply Dark LInk_Flare with the latest version of Nexuiz. It will be worth the wait.

Yeah, I want the best version possible, I may be a newbie, but I am a Gmae-Freak and I know I am going to whup some ass in this game so you guys better brace yourselves!

Edit: Thanks Dave!

BTW, I made a signiture, but it isn't showing up anywhere, can anyone here tell me what the problem is?

Edit: Does anyone here know a menber that goes by the name of The PI, or Man of PI? He is the one that helped me find this greatly designed site!

When you have created a signarure, theere is a checkbox in by the submit post button that sais "include signature" or something.. "attach signature" I thnk it is. Before you create as ignature this is not checked by default.

HOLY SHIT! Hold up!

I answered you wrong! I send 3,407,549 bytes per second and I recieve
13,676,402 bytes per second. However, I don't know how many kilobytes that is.

Erm, that would be 13 Megabytes per second downstream. That's fast enough to download Nexuiz in less than 15 seconds
There has to be something wrong with those numbers

Its not even remotely possible to get those speeds with modem on a regular phone line. Even ADSL isnt that fast, you need SHDSL to get those speeds... So I'm with kadaver.. those numbers are wrong.

13,676,402 (bytes per second) = 104.342667 megabits per second
That is much faster than dial up internet. Are you certain about the numbers and the units?

Edit: I clicked reply when there were no replies yet, The lesson here is to reload pages instead of using back/forward. At least my answer was unique.

yo7u cant do it with shdsl eiterh.. you need fibre

Yeah, maybe it's wrong, it has changed now, it is 45.2 kbps (kilobytes per second). I think my dell is screwed up or something, but the way I'm getting this info is I'm going to the bottom right of my computer screen :you know where the 2 computers are? I then wait until some info pops up. Can anyone tell me what this is? I think it may be my internet connection status, and I don't know what difference it makes, but I have bellsouth internet service, which is dial-up.

That 100Mbps would have been a local connection.

Umm..... I found out the problem, the numbers I put were not kilobytes, they were just bytes. Anywhay here are the numbers that are shown now: Sent:974,198 bytes. Recieved:15,301,073 bytes. Can anyone tell me how many kilobytes this is?

I suppose those are the total byes received and send and those will not tell you how fast your connection is.

First: Please make your sig block a little bit smaller.. its kinda annoying.

About your questions:
Those two computers on the icon tells the status of your netowrk connection. Thats statu is for the network card in your computer, so any stats there is for all the data that is sent to and from your computer on your local network.

If you use a modem directly connected to your PC, the network status is not interesting information.

If you use a modem connected to some gateway in your local network, the traffic to the internet will only be a part of all the traffic on the network, so that wont be of much help eiter.

The easiest way to find your real speed to the internet is to find a test somewhere on line. I've found one, its in norwegina, but its not hard to use:
http://www.itavisen.no/services/speedometer/index.php
click "trykk her for å starte testen" to start your test.

It wwill when its done tell you something like
"IP-adressen 80.202.21.85 lastet ned 1190608 Bytes
på 4.578 sekunder." wich means the IP address 80.x.x.x downloaded xxxxxx bytes in x.xxx seconds

dont doa any other downloading or web viewing while the test is riunning

I'll try to change my signiture, but I still haven't got to play Nexuiz yet. Dave still hasen't sent me a disk.

Hey, guys, I'm going to be gone for 3 or 4 days, but I have a question that I will check on when I get back: Is Nexuiz free? I mean can you play Nexuiz for free?

Dark Link_Flare wrote:I have a question that I will check on when I get back: Is Nexuiz free? I mean can you play Nexuiz for free?

Yes you can! Nexuiz is even free in the GPL sense.. its distributed under the terms of the GPL after all

Hate to say it, but I don't think I want to play Nexuiz anymore. Dave still hasen't sent that disk or something, 'cause I still ain't got it! IT HAS BEEN A WHOLE MONTH! EVEN IF HE LIVES IN VIRGINIA, IT SHOULD HAVE GOT HERE IN KENTUCKY BY NOW! I REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!

Do not capitalize on this forum, I sent the disk.

I sent it Tuesday of this week because I was given the wrong address "a whole month ago".

Best Wishes.
Dave
