Fake Lag

[nocturnal]

I found a console command where you can create lag so your bots don't look so bot-ish. Cmd is "fakelag 0". The higher the number the higher the lag. But it says you have to turn cheats on or sumthing. I tried sv_cheats 1 but didn't do nething. Help?

i dont get it.. lag for bots?

[nocturnal]

Well usually people who see players with a constant ping of 5 just get out. I heard some others complain about noone coming so this may help, maybe? I haven't been able to get it to work

I think you can't do a fake lag... it is calculate by cs and not by the bot. Not sure there's a way to change it for a bot. Maybe a bot developper could confirm that...

sv_cheats and fakelag has been disabled in 1.5-1.6+

the only way is for someone to use the CS source and make a hack to fix it, but in doing so there account would be banned (if you use a client as the server and not HLDS)

OR, you could type "sv_cheats 1" and then "restart" and then the fake lag and BAM. fake lag.

Disabled my left ass cheek.

I tried that & it doesn't work for tfc dedicated servers. It just keeps saying "server must enable cheats to activate fakelag" but it is enabled. I tried a few times, nothing.

BRB lemme test that out. I assure you I've had fakelag work in steam before.

What I tried:

Before doing New Game, I typed in SV_Cheats 1 in console.
I started new game... I typed fakelag 50. My ping time jumped to 100 and if I increased it, my movements became glitchier and occasionally teleporting.

In that game, I typed in console SV_Cheats 1, then Restart
My ping time disappeared, and I typed fakelag 50, only to get the SV_Cheats must be enabled.

In the SAME GAME still, I typed in console SV_Cheats 1, then Restart.
I then tried to use Fakelag again, and it worked.


Wait, wait... TFC dedicated servers? This is a counterstrike bot forum. TFC enables and disables A TON of cvars. Additionally, if its a dedicated server, you will have to rcon in if you are enabling via console. You will have to rcon sv_cheats 1, then rcon restart. Even then, TFC may disable fakelag, ESPECCIALLY on a dedicated. What is the point in creating fakelag on a dedicated server when there is real lag?

[DreamLord34]

There is no real lag for bots. & the topic had nothing to do with any bot in particular, just a command. & I don't need to rcon in as I have the server on my machine. sv_cheats was enabled & it still tells me "server must enable cheats to activate fakelag" Maybe it's a listenserver only thing since you're doing it by making a NEW game & also while in game.

[V or 'Tex]

You can do it either way, in game or before making a new game. I doubt dedicated servers would allow it because cheats is always disabled on one.
