The *I Want to Change The playerState_t struct* thread !

[Tchouky]

Well most of yu should know that you shouldn't change the q_shared.h or q_shared.c files.

 

I really need to add something to tgis fu**ing structure, i really tried !

 

I modified it and changed the

BG_PlayerStateToEntityStateExtraPolate

BG_PlayerStateToEntityState

CG_EntityStateToPlayerState

 

and it s still crashing...

I know we must *somehow* be able to modify it.

If someone has a clue, another function to modify please say it!

Okay here goes:

 

the shared files are basicly internal files used for the engine, so if you would edit them in anyway there is a very very big chance that the engine won't know them. However you can alter them aslong as the size total remains the same, but you're better off just leaving that alone. Some ingenius coder at IDsoftware has calculated it so that he knows exactly how many bits are in each position.

 

However here's a mapping of Q3's entityState beginning at eFlags made by Manuel Greed, as you can see it includes compiler directives for the qvms, i never used the code for anything so i don't know if it works, but it might be some help:

I think in general you might be better off just figuring out howto get it working with eg. STAT_ vars etc.

[Florian1000]

I added a var to the playerState_s struct and it works by me if i only compile jk2mpgame.qvm

[Tchouky]

your dll don't work but the qmv does ?????

[Florian1000]

Sorry wasn't clear writen I mean that If I only compile game with new var. and cgame without new var. it works. And if I compile game and cgame with new var. it doesn't work. But this you can only make if you didn't need the new var. in cgame/...

 

Again sorry for my bad english

[ASk]

well obviously....the errors that happen are "prediction errors"

if you do not compile cgame with the new var it won't affect you, because the prediction routines are not hurt. (they are in cgame)

but playerstate_t struct is used to transmit data between server and client, so there's not much use in compiling only the jk2mpgame.qvm and not cgame.qvm
