Hi, I've created a simple command to show a players 'network statistics' which I plan on building on later, but it seems like there isn't something right about 'NetStats_PacketLossPercent. My server is less than 500 miles from me, I get 29ms constantly, my packet loss when pinging it from Windows and in the network statistics(F5) in SA-MP always shows as 0 - but 'NetStats_PacketLossPercent' usually shows it at something higher (.50+) - it also seems to increment down once it gets that high like .1 a second or so. Any ideas?

(the second part of the code is to simply attempt to debug/confirm)

pawn Код:

String("%s's network statistics: ping: %dms | packet loss: %.2f.",gPlayerInfo[id][pName], GetPlayerPing(id), NetStats_PacketLossPercent(id));
SendClientMessage(playerid,-1,string);
    
String("%f",NetStats_PacketLossPercent(id));
SendClientMessage(playerid,-1,string);

Here's some excerps from chat logs to show my theory further:

I personally wouldn't be concerned with that amount of packet loss, you will find the datacenter of which your server is hosted in has shit routing somewhere along the line.

Bad routing is absolutely not the case here, it doesn't even seem like packet loss is the issue at all, the only thing that is indicating packet loss is 'NetStats_PacketLossPercent' and it seems to be incrementing back down in an odd way.

Any input on this, can someone test this and confirm it?

EDIT: I was totally overthinking this - it's a percentage! It's working fine.
