Let me start with this:
How to remove the intro from the game
Open your Rune.ini and look for the line "Local map=intro.run"
Change it to "Local map=entry.run"
And the intro won't load anymore. ;D What is the point of that, u ask? Simple: -Rune starts faster -The intro sux and is annoying -When you're in the intro u don't see any messages like download process or "server is a full" -It's just cool
;D

How to optimize your list of games
Do u know this? You start up Rune and want to check which servers are on, but u always have to move the fields to see how much players are on which server.
If u have got HoV u can avoid this. Just jopy the UBrowser.u file from your HoV installation into the Rune\system folder.
UBrowser is one of the packages that aren't checked and so you won't get any package mismatch though you have a different UBrowser then the standart one.
The UBrowser of HoV is way better. it also shows u the gametype in the list and you don't have to move the bars anymore to see the numbers of players in the servers.
If you don't have HoV let someone send you the UBrowser.u from HoV. It's not that big.

WARNING: This tweak MIGHT work, but it can also be that it does not work and even crash your PC if you're unlucky. SAVE ALL YOUR DATA BEFORE YOU TRY IT THE FIRST TIME. Use at your own risk. If it works one time, it'll work always. How to switch to windowed modeWant to play Rune?. Want to chat on MSN or ICQ? Can't do both at the same time? Well, u can. Just type Togglefullscreen into the console. After that Rune should switch to windowed mode. Then all you need to do is rezising the window to the size u want. Note: Resizing the window takes time. Only resize it ONE time to the correct size. You can slo go to Options ---> Video and set the resolution there. The size of the window will be equivalent to the resolution of your screen and your monitor size.

How to let Rune shut up
A sound or music in a map is pissing you off and driving you nuts? Don't want to turn of the sound completly?
Just type "ShutUp" (no joke) into the console and all current playing sounds will stop.
This only stops the sounds that are played when you type this. Sounds that are generated later will be played (weapon hit sounds, walk sound, jump sound, die sound etc. all this are sounds that are only generated when it's time too. so u won't loose the fighting sounds)

In Rune.ini [Engine.GameEngine] CacheSizeMegs=4 this is how much is used to run the game..... 4 is the default.....i set mine at 64 because that seemed to be the number most used for CacheSizeMegs in Unreal.... barely anyone knows about this in Rune though lol P.S. Sascha do you only map alone?

How to switch to windowed modeWant to play Rune?. Want to chat on MSN or ICQ? Can't do both at the same time? Well, u can. Just type Togglefullscreen into the console. After that Rune should switch to windowed mode. Then all you need to do is rezising the window to the size u want. OR you could just press escape, go to options, game, advanced options and just move the bar to the far down left of your screen or something. When you mark your rune again, you'll be playing. If you press escape, your mouse is free. And this way your rune CAN'T crash because of it.

What are you talking about? When u go to the advanched options exactly the same happens to rune as if u use togglefullscreen. Just that togglefullscreen is easier and u can even bind it to a hotkey. In addition u don' have this neardy window around. Of course advanched options can crash Rune. "When you mark your rune again, you'll be playing. If you press escape, your mouse is free" Same for togglefullscreen. I really don't see the use of this.

Or druids custom stored serverpass www.satullite.net/jussi/UBrowser.zip either way for viewin game types youll see slight diff on this favorite TAB edit! but i would perfer to extract the ubrower from HOV to 10.0 its much easier like what karigard said thats if you have HOV.

open the advanced options menu, select Advanced, then Game engine settings. Set CacheSizeMegs to somewhere between 4 and 64... you can also access this through rune.ini.. mine is set higher for now (Some machines might find a setting of ½ or ¾ system RAM to work better) cachesizemegs is how much computer power goes into running Rune. It and RAM are tied in...... by the way.....have you ever noticed how your server lags when people are downloading?.....well i found the exact part of rune.ini to fix that.....but first you have to establish what your upload speed is......i tested mine and it turned out to be 600kbps.....after you establish what your upload speed is you will have to visit a site i know of where you can put in your upload speed and it will give you the result as what number to put in CacheSizeMegs for rune......anyone interested?

if you don't know your upload speed go to: performance.toast.net/Select Upload speed test, an approriate web host and click run test... then select a picture from your own computer to upload fitting their standards of size and click to upload it to them, then u will have your result once you have your upload speed in kbps go to: thinkhole.org/toybox/utmcr.php-Maximum server upload rate- is where you will put your upload rate in kbps -Number of remote players- is where u will fill in how many people you will be setting you server for Good luck ;D

heres something else that may be of interest in rune.ini:
[IpDrv.TcpNetDriver] NetServerMaxTickRate and LanServerMaxTickRate affect how many frames per second the server sends to a player..... a lower number means less CPU power is used but the pings will get higher.... higher numbers will lower your pings but increase the CPU power that is used......if you dont do this carefully however it can lead to increased server crashes

U can set the maxclientrate to adjust how fast downloads of downloaders will go (standart for DSL is 20000 i think but that lags out ur server completly if someone is downloading). A value of 5000-7500 is best as I remember. With that your server won't lag that much anymore when someone is downloading, but the downloads will be slower.

Well how I understand it is that the server has all the information about the current game. Since there is not enough bandwidth to send all the informations it needs to leave out unimportant things and concentrate on the important ones (like player position, moves and so on). This way the client gets an approximation of the current game state. Every Tick this information is updated by the server. The goal is to get an approximation as high as possible. With TickRate u set the amount of Ticks per second. If u increase this slightly the approximation of the clients may get better (they never reach 100% though), because The state is updated more often. But if u set this too high, the server sends the gamestate too often. Because there is not enough bandwidth for sending it so often, the server has to leave out more informations resulting in a way lower approximation and in the worst case even lag (which is btw just a result of a bad approximation). So be careful with it. TRUE! IMO the default value of 25 is the best, but if u want experiment with it.

Want to play Rune?. Want to chat on MSN or ICQ? Can't do both at the same time? Well, u can. lol this laggs you out. running a server or just playing on any server and running icq/msn lags you badly. where is the sense of this? if you run a perfect server you have nothing else but rune on. else you dont have to wonder if you get killed even people didnt touched you on your screen. any programm besides rune that uses the internet too takes a bit from your bandwidth and so you have less kbs for download/upload and that just sucks. same when i have my windows emu on and test my maps online. that system makes my server so bad that you cant move there

It's cool that I can do both. Last time for example as I was on bill's server and told u on icq that this halo guy was there or while the last meeting where ur Rune was fooked I was able to chat with ya while being in the server. Also it's not just ICQ/MSN chat. You can do everything else of course. For example while u're waiting in Arena till it's ur turn, u could play minesweeper or whatnot.

That's why it shouldn't be to low. On the other hand when it's to high u'll get an extreme download lag like it's always the case when u don't change this. I've seen nice servers where the ping raised only from lets say 150 to 200-250 making it posssible to still play nice while someone was downloading.
