===================================== = = = Communicating with Duke Nukem 3D = = Version 1.0 = = February 12, 1996 = = Written by Mark Dochtermann = = = ===================================== 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)
