The links above and to the left link to www.ravenousbugblatterbeast.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk. If you downloaded the plugin from somewhere else, or downloaded it some time ago, I recomend you check for an updated plugin. Note that the on-line manual may have been updated even if the plugin hasn't.

Version 1.7

  • Now logs number of players in the game, local players and the rate selected each time the rate is changed.

Version 1.6

  • Now changes cl_rate as well as rate on the client.
  • You can specify the local subnet so the number of local users can be computed automatically.

Version 1.5

  • Fixed setting of sv_minrate/sv_maxrate and improved player counting. Thanks to Ymboc for these fixes.
  • Returns sv_minrate and sv_maxrate to their original values and disables the plugin if you set bb_bandwidthmode to 0 (also adapted from code by ymboc)

  • Initial Release
