Ping and CPU change

[Xinnony]

Hi people, we were asked to remove the "Ping Text" and also expand the "Ping Bar" and "CPU Bar".

Personally, i not like my change and if a player has a ping too high there is a good reason !
Its been several part I host without looking at the Ping and so far none is unroll without a minimum Playable Lag ...

If the game at the beginning created without Ping feature, all player ask for implement a Ping.

Edit : It will force players to launch a completely unplayable game and everyone leaves, it is not a progret.

Leave it as it is, I dont see a problem with it.

If should only display green/yellow/red as now, but no number. The bar is useless.

[ggstack]

So are numbers too complex for the community?

[Ze_PilOt]

No they give the wrong idea. 400 is entirely playable with FA, but for some people, over 150 is bad.

Then we should move to educate the community rather than cut back on the complexity?

haha, good one.

this looks really good!

i may suggest 2 changes:
- if it is not done already: make the CPU test result shown on a scale from 0 to 100 (100: best cpu ever; 0: cpu is really bad)
- make the ping-bar green up to ping of 450, yellow for a ping from 450-500 and red for a ping above 500.

the second change was discussed in another thread and only a ping above 500 slows the game down, because FA has a build-in delay of 500ms... this way, everybody can see that a ping of 450 is still as good as a ping of 5.

edit: oh wow. so many posts were posted, before i finished this one...
