| Post subject: | [NEW COMMAND] - lag |
I'm testing a new command called lag, for low bandwidth users. Players who type this command won't see gibs or hook links for any player. I chose the name lag because I couldn't think of a better name. If you're an HPB player who actually had issues with hook links or gibs, please let me know if this helps. It's a toggle command so typing it again will reverse its effects. Update: Ignoring all bubbles too, except weirdness. |

Maybe eliminate some more animation, such as, the spinning on ammo packs to lava ball trails to sky and water movement ? |

These aren't controlled by the server, or rather, aren't included in the network traffic. There are already some clients that have an option for trail removal. I can't imagine that people would see a huge performance increase by using this command, but it might prevent lock ups for those poor hpbs when there's a lot of hooking, gibbing, and drowning going on.

The only real solution would be to disconnect them with a message saying "Get broadband" or maybe teleport them to an area with a low entity count 
The sad thing is I'm talking about myself too. I'm still 56k... |

Slot, how are you able to remove a model for a specific client? Was this done using QuakeC? |

It's an engine modification. |

He's getting his hands pretty dirty by dipping into the engine. At first I imagined some cockneyed method of sending the hook nails to players (that didn't perform the command) by using WriteByte () and MSG_ONE.l But since you're oin all that, Slot, code up an allowance for more entities! Then you'll have no excuse for keeping nailguns from firing faster! |
