- =====================================
-
-
- Duke Nukem 3D provides several command line options to make net games
- function more smoothly. These command line options are as follows:
-
- /n# - specify which network mode to use. The Build games support two
- different network modes, broadcast and client-server. By
- default, broad cast is used during 2-4 player games and
- client-server is used for games of more than 4 players.
- /n0 specifies a client-server game.
- /n1 specifies a broadcast game.
- A broadcast game will probably be the most valuable network
- mode for games played outside of a local area network.
- /f# - turn on "tic duplication." This reduces the amount of packets
- sent every frame.
- /f1 default no tic duplication
- /f2 skip every other frame (cuts the update rate in half)
- /f4 skips 3 out of 4 frames (cuts the update rate in quarter)
