Summary0002294: Very evident misprediction of movement on raising floors in general
DescriptionI've noticed this issue for a while now and it seems that the client greatly mispredicts its movement if stepping up to a raising floor online.

In particular, this misprediction seems to occur when the player moves from a lower floor to a raising floor that is higher.

It seems to correct itself if you press +jump.
Steps To Reproduce1. zandronum -file stairs_02.wad -host
2. Connect a client to the server with an emulated ping of 200.
3. Join the game.
4. Move to the floor in front of you and move in a circular pattern with +forward, +back, +moveleft and +moveright.
Additional InformationIt's very evident even with only 145 ping, which IMO is a relatively normal ping. And I always notice this issue when playing online on regular servers.

It started to break in 1.1-alpha-r121014-1138M.

it's been a while but iirc it's the same for lowering floors too? (not sure)

Yeah, it's pretty much the same issue. And no, it's not quite the same for lowering floors (though it'll still mispredict if you jump). The jitter is very evident with rising floors in general.

It doesn't jitter on rising floors if you stand on them when they start to move (though you can still make it mispredict by running on the ledges or by jumping), but if you move to them from a floor that is lower in height, the jitter will appear.

I'd say that they're kind of related without being the same issue.

Quote from Torr Samaho
While predicting, the client assumes that sector heights do not change during the prediction window. There are some additions that take care of moving floors, but these workarounds cannot cover the case where a moving floor changes its direction during the prediction window.

The difference between Floor_Waggle and this issue is that the rising floors never change direction here.

This worked fine in 1.0 and started to break in 1.1 so it's another regression.

I can't reproduce this anymore in 3.1. The client quickly corrects itself now. It muse have been fixed by something else.
Thanks!
