NetworkTweaks

Requires server-side Lua to work

This is a completely server-side Lua mod that does some tweaks to the game's networking in the hopes of making it less painful.

What does it change?

• Forced network health update interval to zero, health will now update instantly and not sometimes take 2 seconds to get updated by the server.

• Characters ""far"" away from you now have their position updated instantly instead of every 1 second.

• The max amount of network events sent every update was changed from 4 to 8, should improve the situations where the entire server freezes for about 3 seconds because thousands of network events were generated at the same time.

• Minimum mid round sync timeout changed from 10 to 100 seconds.

• Old event kick time changed from 30 to 50 seconds.

• Hull sparse network update interval changed from 5 seconds to 0.5 seconds.

• Hull network update interval changed from 0.5 to 0.1 seconds.

Tickrate

Barotrauma has a tick rate setting, by default its 20, you can go to your game files and edit serversettings.xml to increase it up to 60. Might be a good idea for PvP. Increasing tick rate results in even more network updates being sent.

Consequences?

No idea, tested those settings in a PvP server, seems fine. People with really bad internet might suffer because of the increased amount of network updates.
