Increased TPS Mod for Player Hosted Servers

[Phobos]

I've developed an LUA script mod for common.lvl which lets players host servers at TPS settings above 30. Now you can host MP or LAN servers at 40, 50, 60, 90, or 120 TPS! The script can be customized as needed for additional settings. Attached the LUA and a preview video to this post.
Enjoy hosting at higher framerates!

Simply munge this script into your common.lvl (builders can be downloaded HERE and restart Battlefront.exe

-- Online options
---- Modified by Phobos for increased hosting TPS options. Added 40, 50, 60, 90, and 120 as options. It is not recommended to host over 40-50 TPS for most servers. Do not use /noframelock if you want FPS to be the same as your TPS. Higher TPS also means that weapons can be switched faster.

Very cool.   

What TPS settings do you recommend?

[Phobos]

Very cool.   

What TPS settings do you recommend?

Thanks. I host pretty much all servers on the root, and as long as clients don't get "teleport lag", 60 is preferred for low ping duels. 50 is best for up to maybe 4-6 players then starts to lag. I host most [FC] servers at 40 TPS currently. I'm not sure if other players would lag less on a player hosted higher TPS server vs dedicated. Higher TPS will spike more often with noframelock, but if you cap framerate around 120 using bandicam it shouldn't spike as much. Shot registration is known to improve at higher TPS, and I think it's even more noticeable in 1.3 using /waitlate.

Try hosting a LAN server at 30TPS then replay the map again at 120TPS and you should notice a difference, even using /noframelock for both.

[Shazam]

Ah, cool.  I'll tweak and test the settings next time I need to host a LAN or self host server--most likely 40, 50, and 60 TPS.  Thanks!

Nice! I noticed that in the tournament servers for ICW5. I'm not really used to playing on 30 FPS but I guess for SWBF it's the best for tournaments with servers filled with players. This'll be helpful but what exactly would you need 120 TPS for? I normally just lock things to 60FPS.

Not sure if you know but tps and fps are different. I believe fps is how many frames per second you have (obviously  )  and tps is how often you connect to the server for registering hits and updating movement so more tps should mean more accuracy or at least consistency.

Back on topic it's a useful mod. Thanks phobos.

Wow, thats cool! I wasn't aware that you could change the interface like that.

So if you can manipulate hosting screen and variables, could you per se add in functionality for saving the variable values to a txt file on "Accept," and then exit the game, load it up again, lua-file-read the values into temp variables, and instantiate the screen w/ those variables to use the same hosting settings as the last time you hosted a game? I remember hating that I had to go through and change all the settings every time I wanted to play a game.

Battlefront keeps the values if you quit and host again, but not if you exit the game.
I would try this out myself, but I'm afraid I don't have anything battlefront related on my computer anymore.

edit- This may not work if you don't run battlefront as administrator because of saving a file in a protected directory like where battlefront is (C:/ drive), but it's a small price to pay (I'm the admin on my computer anyways..).

The settings you are referring to, which are reset when battlefront.exe is closed, is controlled by ifs_mp_gameopts.lua, which is stored in the shell.lvl I have modified this script too and will post some stuff later for it.

The TPS mod alters the file ifs_opt_mp.lua which is stored in common.lvl This script by default will keep the last chosen TPS setting even when battlefront is restarted. There is no need to edit a TXT file as you described, if you set TPS to 60 and close the game, it will retain this value by saving it to your savegames profile directly. 

A txt file to control the ifs_mp_gameopts settings would be nice however. I can't set the default server AI to 0, it stays at 16. But I modded the script so that you only have to click once to go from 16 to 0.

[Led]

Nice work as always!  Thanks for sharing 

[RepComm]

You can right click an option to have them flip in the opposite direction (if you didn't know already), so technically you shouldn't need to mod to get from 16 to 0. If its already at 16 just right click.

Kind of wish my tools were installed again

Not sure I understand your point here. I know right click moves them in the opposite direction. All I have to do is left click to go from 16 to 0 with the mod. It can be technically modded to right click too. By default you have to left or right click 16 times.

255 TPS is confirmed to be the highest you can customize for this script. If set to 256 or higher it will ignore that option in the menu. 

here is the 255 TPS LUA

---- Modified by Phobos for increased hosting TPS options. Added 40, 50, 60, 90, 120, and 255 as options. It is not recommended to host over 40-50 TPS for most servers. Do not use /noframelock if you want FPS to be the same as your TPS. Higher TPS also means that weapons can be switched faster.

Umm... how do I install this?

I don't know, but it may be easier if you use the dedicated server software with the /tps option.

Hi Led, thanks for the reply.

The platform I used to host servers with friends, Evolve, shut down a few days ago. It allowed me to host a faux LAN dedicated server to play through the internet with a group of friends. So I got Tunngle, a very similar but far messier and sloppier service, which to my surprise didn't seem to work with dedicated servers. When I would host a ded-server with Tunngle, the people with me in the party would either not see the server in the list or never be able to join because of missing content (on a vanilla map). The normal method of hosting still works, where the host has to be in-game, but I'm getting real sick of the 30 FPS cap. Is there any way I can get 60 FPS, and still be able to play with friends?
