I have a /ping command add-on, that depending on what you give as arguments, you can either check your own ping, check another players ping, or admins can display a list of of everyone's ping to the server.

As for OP's suggestions, I don't believe there is a way for the server to get any of the required information from the client, so a server-side add-on wouldn't work.
As for a client-side add-on (if you can even get them to download it, you're better of just having them type 'metrics(fps);' in the console and tell them to look at a large group of bricks and see what their fps is) I'm not sure if there is a default way to get their video card information. As for an FPS estimate, they're a lot more to it than brick/light/poly count (the latter of which I'm not sure you can calculate)

I meant we were both on at the same time. Not arguing, just rapid reply.

Can you link me to the ping thing?

There is.

getDesktopResolution();
getDisplayDeviceList();
getResolutionList(%devicename);
getVideoDriverInfo();
isDeviceFullScreenOnly(%devicename);

I think Badspot should add Recommend Specs to the system requirements page. The problem there is choosing what would be recommended, since it varies so much between servers.

Type '/ping' to display your own ping, '/ping <name>' to display <names>'s ping, super admin can type '/ping all' to display everyone's ping to everyone. I had to change a few things that were badly done and I can't test the changes right now, so let me know if something doesn't work.

Is that a typo?

[Headcrab Zombie]

Yes, fixed

Ok, just checkin. And I fail at bold.
