A new command?
« on: 23 Feb 2014, 19:56:15 »
I think you (the admins of noobscraft) should add the /ping command to be available for everybody. It's harmless, and all it does is respond in the user's chat box (the issuer of the command) with "Pong!" It can help reduce those people in chat who just say "Test" or "lag" etc. They can instead to /ping and then see about how long it takes for Pong to show up. And users can use it to test their connection with the server.

Thanks for considering my suggestion.

i like this idea how ever I don't think it would stop people from testing or saying lag in chat

That could also get annoying seeing ping and pong in the chat. Unless only the user would be able to see what they type. Otherwise i feel people would be doing tests all the time, even when they don't need to. And therefore spam the chat.

Of course it would be only for the command user and not for the whole chat, but you could still just hold Tab anche check the green bars... less than 3 bars and you have mid/high latency, deal with it.
If literally everyone has high latency, it's the server having trouble.

No amount of precise milliseconds measurements will help you get a better ping.

Only the user that performs the command sees it. Otherwise, yes it would spam chat. but it does not spam chat.
