Implement -pingboost 4 for behavior similar to mm_insane 1 in Linux

[cris840]

Implemented the Sleep_Pingboost4 function to achieve similar behavior to mm_insane 1 of the mmtimer metamod, since the function does not perform any further action, sleep is removed.

Alright

Sorry for my stupid comment/question,
What would be the benefits/is there any from -pingboost4 and should we use it over -pingboost3?

It's simple, in short:

-pingboost 3 is designed to control Sleep on network operations with precision while the network subsystem does its internal tasks.

-pingboost 4 does not perform any Sleep and simply returns the function without doing anything. This means that the CPU will be fully utilized without waiting or suspending execution. This can be used in order to increase FPS to "insane" levels ;)
Like mmtimer Metamod

Couldn't this be implemented also in Windows?

On Windows you can use the mmtimer metamod directly and use mm_insane 1 in server.cfg to have the same result.

Doesn't that apply also to Linux? You can use the mmtimer too. If we're implementing this in reHLDS, it should be in both platforms.

Implementé la función Sleep_Pingboost4 para lograr un comportamiento similar a mm_insane 1 del metamod mmtimer, ya que la función no realiza ninguna otra acción, se elimina el sueño.

¿No se podría implementar esto también en Windows?

En Windows, puede usar el metamod mmtimer directamente y usar mm_insane 1 en server.cfg para obtener el mismo resultado.

¿Eso no se aplica también a Linux? También puede utilizar el mmtimer. Si estamos implementando esto en reHLDS, debería estar en ambas plataformas.

pingboost does not exist in the Windows version of ReHLDS
Look: https://github.com/dreamstalker/rehlds/blob/master/rehlds/dedicated/src/sys_window.cpp

And no, unfortunately there is no working version of mmtimer for Linux. It would need to be updated, but there is no point in doing so when it can be implemented directly in ReHLDS.

@cris840 It would be a good idea and useful if it was built to work on Windows as well without adding unnecessary extras that are not guaranteed to work 100%.

@stambeto2006 , @SmilexGamer You can use this which is compatible with HLDS and ReHLDS and works on both Windows and Linux. It has a similar feature (pingboost 5) and even more.
