Hello Halomaps,
 
With the recent release of 002's stable lead script, I've been wondering what other improvements may be possible. The way I see it, these are main issues with network performance:

• Shot-lead/registration - fixed, or at least much improved & fully acceptable.


• Rubberbanding (players warp when they come into contact with other players): outstanding issue


• Warping (the netcode doesn't handle high speeds very well - this applies to players, equipment & vehicles): outstanding issue

As usual, I'll reiterate that all this stuff is voodoo to me (that's why I'm calling out to you fine folks).
 
I know that there is a SAPP/HAC2 (?) command (its exact name eludes me at the moment - and it seems to be undocumented) that increases the player update rate, so that the active player doesn't warp around as much. NeX was talking about how if it were set too low (higher frequency), it would increase bandwidth usage.
 
There is also the custom_sleep SAPP command that can apparently improve reg, but I have no idea how it works.
 
Are these two commands of any use for this sort of thing?
 
Could someone explain the above commands in depth?
 
Can anything else be done to mitigate these issues?
 
Can a Lua script be of any use for this sort of thing?
 
Keep in mind that I host a 4-player server, so I imagine that most side-effects (ex: bandwidth consumption) that are related to having a full 16-player server don't really concern me personally.

Maybe this isn't the best place to ask, nobody really goes in this section of the forums.

I assumed all users read and inestigated every topic (to a degree) like I do.

The general discussion is where you really need to ask questions though, not many people think about this section (as altis mentioned)

Dennis,

Can you please move this to General Discussion for more exposure?

Thank you

Send a PM, that usually works better.

Oh right I forgot, no one here actually plays the game anymore. My mistake.

Evr1 is Helderito Inline, Y U So Stupd??/?

We're all making our own games now.

I'm not. Though I may look into it given the drop in standards particularly within the racing genre.

Hey, wanna join mine? It's not hard and has been trickling progress pretty much since I joined this website. I'd show pictures but there's not much to show short of Unreal Editor being an idiot, albeit comically.

I think joining any consortium would require me to further remove my attentions from my spouse. Something which I dare not consider given my newly founded uncontrollable lust for marshmallow and cream infused coffee.

To add to my excuses I'm really only good at modelling. (And resorting to shouting matches within game chats)

Perfect. You're hired.

If only my application for a doctorate in gynaecology would have gone as smoothly.

true

I do that a lot.

The internet informs me that this img would seem most appropriate in this circumstance whilst I hope also being forum rule competent.

Dennis please lock this thread it looks like no one here can help me.

Typically threads are just left to die on there own. And in the off chance someone figures this out, they may post it in this thread. You never know.

Lol. An appeal to an ineffective (the KINDEST way to describe it) "administrator" of a ridiculous excuse for a website to close a thread based on the onset of stupid posts?


How long have you been here?

Perhaps too long

Not long enough.

Also, aLTis figured out a way to make the cyborg shield & cyborg armor material responses sync (aka: small shield spark and armor spark). This greatly improves the visual feedback when you land a hit. Currently I'm only running the fix on one map (xbox_hotbox_h1.5_rc_final) and it is only applied to the pistol. You can obtain the map from HAC2's automatic downloads by joining on of my 3 servers (Good Map Ya *****).
