[DevilHunter]

Ok, so yea.. After a little mishap, here you are Zan1.4-alpha-r150112-1948

[TheCitrusKiwi]

i don't think we have any testing session planned for now but wouldn't it be better if we wait for "the client -> server packets" fix ?

Aight thanks.

First post updated with the new build. Servers updated too.

[Bloax]

I'll definitely jump on tomorrow (or technically later today??), this thread reads as very promising.

[Medicris]

Can you elaborate the details of the testing session? I.e. number of players, play time, game modes, weapons used, etc. Where there any complaints by any of the testers? Are you sure that the code is not overcompensating? For instance, for the SSG there is a delay that shouldn't be removed by unlagged.

Spent time with all weapons besides BFG and plasma, all responded well. Did not notice any complaints. Can't say for certain about overcompensating delay, but it didn't seem apparent.

On another note I'd go as far to say as Striker's damage numbers should be an included toggleable feature in future builds

Are you talking about striker_showdamage_v3.pk3? If it works fine as mod, why don't keep it as mod?

Yeah. No particular reason other than simple convenience and availability, and I figure it would be useful to newer players learning the ropes in PVP. Not a big deal.

It might make a cool addition to the FloatyIcon code, if it were included.


It's probably just easier to keep it as a mod though.

Actually having it as a feature would be cool because it will be a wad less to load in servers and therefore less resource to use.

There may be another small problem with packets in the wrong order (this part affects only the client -> server packets), but I don't have time to take care of this today. If you do more testing in the mean time, please use the latest version of the gametic_unlagged bookmark, which I updated today.

The other small issue should also be fixed now. The gametic_unlagged bookmark updated accordingly. Happy testing :).

OFF:dafuk is aenima doing here, I thinked he rq from it... anyway
ON:I'm ready to test it on my windows 98 :D (and 8.1 ofc, plus xp if I still have his vm)

EDIT: zandronum no longer works on my windows 98 :( (no more 3dfx logo when start it ;--; )

EDIT2:actually, zandronum may work, but libeay32.dll doesn't want to run under 98 :(

EDIT3: replaced Libeay32 with an older version, now I get a missing MSVCR71.dll >.>

EDIT4: holly work, found msvcr and it worked \o/... Now I'm waiting for a proper glide driver :)

EDIT5:I can only see 3dfx logo and a black screen in opengl :(
Well, I may deal with the good and old software render then

FINAL EDIT: it worked in gl with 1fps, and, hmm, 39fps at software render O_o (common voodoo 3 3000, I know u can do better than that)

But you should really be there then and show up when we need people for testing!

[ibm5155]

Now at 21:13 (from 17:00 to 23:00) I could test it :D, if not , job time :(

[Kara Kurt]

Hm, where are you from? If you wish to test CTF, I think it won't happen, or if so, very late...

[ibm5155]

I'm from Brazil, It may be GMT -3 or +3. heh, that's the problem living far away from servers :S

[Uwe L. Bendoverson]

My servers have been updated.

[Kara Kurt]

Thanks.

Ah, knew it!

[ibm5155]

ehm, I got a fatal error and I saved the crash report, would this help with something? (it was took on the windows 98 xD)...
Idk why this render is so heavy for voodoo 3, maybe because in gl mode, gzdoom/zan use alot more cpu than in software mode and then my gpu cant deal with it ? :S (specs: pentium mmx 233MHz, 128mb ram and a voodoo 3 3000)...

Well, since I crashed the older machine I'm gonna test zandronum on a real hardware

Thanks for the detailed video!

Some questions / suggestions:

• Do you have "cl_clientsidepuffs 1"? If so, please turn if off. As long as it's on, you can't trust puffs as hit indicator.
• To understand how the server is repositioning the players for the reconciliation, you can set "sv_unlagged_debugactors 1". For this you also need to define UnlaggedDebugActor in DECORATE, which is used as actor to visualizes the reconciled positions.
• Can you double check whether the original testing version from Sunday behaved any differently?
