« on: January 07, 2008, 02:07:15 pm »
Hey hey all im new to Tremulous, altho im not a Nuub when it comes to shoot em up's.
Some assistance will be awesome.

i have downloaded tremulous-1.1.0-installer. Installed the game.

Is there Map pack i need to down load to bring me up to speed or if i try join a game with a map i dont have it will auto download it?

Also im in Africa and i tried to join a few games and the Ping was 400 is that a lot? cos i just sat there waiting to join the game?

please get me up to speed, a had a run around when i created my own server and the game looked very kewl!!!

Is there a Server for nuubs like me,were i wont get my ass splatterd all over the wall's?

Sorry, there are no African servers.
The real problem is that Africa as Country does not quite have the connection peering the rest of the world has.
I strongly doubt that you will find any server to play on.

Try playing on Euro or Asian servers.

That will NOT solve the problem.
Africa is still a 3rd-world-country and has nearly no high-speed interconnections to any bigger backbones.
He will have too high a ping to any country.

Africa's actually a continent ;) and not all of it is poor.
He said he had a 386k connection which should be quite sufficient in terms of bandwidth. I've no doubt getting a decent server would be hard, but impossible I would think not.

ST1: after making sure your Source is on Internet and you've pressed Get New List once or twice, check your console output after trying to get servers. Press ` or ~ when the client has stopped searching and tell us (approximately at least) what it says.

I'm impressed if anyone can play decently with 400 ping. You'd probably lag like a bitch to everyone, but unlagged would hopefully help. (It breaks at really high pings though, I think)
