Unlagged

From what I understand of 'unlag' is that it only affects hit-trace weapons, whick JK2 or JKA does not have, cept for perhaps the disruptor.

 

What benefits are you hoping to reap here?

 

unlagged does do some missile stuff also. and it fixes lag stuff. (ie: q3 has a built in ping of 50ms; not sure what jka's is)

 

Here's the Unlagged FAQ:

JKA has the same 50 ms built in lag due to the server fps.

god damn this is confusing =x

[ensiform]

we almost got it working.

 

i still need to finish up cg_unlagged.c though for the jka hitscan weapons (disruptor/conc alt)

Do you find an improvement on how it handles player movement and stuff in low pings?

[ensiform]

hmm?

 

higher pinged players should be improved...

[Tinny]

My bad, that's what i meant.

heh does this answer any of your questions?

[Tinny]

Um, i was wondering how it worked with high pings when implemented in the JA code, do you feel like 80 ms worth of ping were shaved off like the author says it does in quake 3?

[stubert]

haven't had a real server test yet

[stubert]

i got this working btw

[razorace]

Good. Good.

I'm curious if this can really work for JKA. Both for guns and sabers. Has anyone tested? Is there a proof of concept anywhere?

[razorace]

I think Ensi put this into this mod. Ensi?

I'm not sure its going to improve sabers so much as it does instant weapons like the tenloss and concussion rifle and predictable missiles like all the non homing ones.

I've actually moved away from implementing the original Unlagged and moved towards more of an Enemy Territory approach with Antilag with some aspects of Unlagged attached. As well as the now released ETPro mod's "antiwarp" code.

 

Basically I've left this:

"True Ping"

"Skip Correction"

"cg_optimizedPrediction"

 

What's different:

Skip Correction Code

Functions follow a different naming scheme and such.

Tweaked some items stored with position.

Most of the debugging stuff is gone not able to be active by default.

Removed all of the rest of the cgame unlagged code except the bounding boxes though I don't think they are even correct. Technically everyone should be using capsules for player tracing anyway...

Antiwarp

The missile code tweaks on server are gone

 

Box: Rectangle

Capsule: Basically a cylinder with a hemisphere stuck to each end of it.

G2: Special code but I dunno that I really like it all that much being that we don't get a whole lot of control over it.
