add ping and traceroute command for players and imms #16

Open jhhudso opened 4 years ago

jhhudso commented 4 years ago

ping command would return engine and network to client latency

kupoholio commented 4 years ago

Not sure if latency is really an big issue unless you're playing a first shooter game. Yes you can get spikes in lag but it's no where like jitter days. If you do get something serious then it's probably a datacentre issue local to the host. Most ISP links have a lot of redudancy built in now and days so ISP outtages are far and few. Not sure if it's worth the effort for you to add in pings/traceroute..as anyone can do that from their PC...just my 2 cent.

Adding ping and traceroute would be imm only commands mainly for checking if someone is having a lag issue. It would save me having to log into the server to do the same thing. Tracing your IP address from my own pc would be useless in checking an issue you’re having with your connection to the mud.
