AntiLag 2a for Shogo-MAD(TM)
<This should be considered a Beta release, but has no known bugs at this time>


This file is my attempt to lower the notorious lag between server and client communication in Shogo-MAD, and to make game play smoother in general.  It has been specifically optimized for lower bandwidth players on dialup connections. Anyone can use it, and it will speed up/smooth out game play, but the differences are more noticeable on slower connections.

As of this time the rez is Clientside only (i.e Only the client has to be running it).

What I ask for in return is that any problems or comments on this are directed to me via email at Ghost@Ghostclan.8m.com.  This is important in speeding up the next release of this rez.  I need to know specifically the following items:

1. What kind of connection you're usually on, and how much (or if at all) it helped your Lag.

2. If you noticed any odd effects to game play.  This would include effects that you didn't notice before using the rez that might affect game play.  Especially those that could be considered detrimental to game play.

3. Anything else you think might be important that doesn't fall in to the previous categories.

Thanks ahead of time for your cooperation.

At this time, and after many hours of testing there are no known bugs with this release.  From testing results it seems to have lowered ping by a significant amount (10%-30%) according to various testers.  You may or may not get these results yourself.


****Warning****: This rez is optimized for multiplay, NOT singleplay.  It will not work with single play.

Thanks to Monolith, PlanetShogo, the entire PlanetShogo Crew (too numerous to mention by name), and WMC#1(Neo) and the other testers for the helping me with this despite relentless recompiling and debugging.


Disclaimer: This is NOT an end all be all answer to the lag problems with Shogo, it does however seem to be a step in the right direction.
