Thank you to everyone who provided more feedback on the skip correction's performance! Last week's testing revealed that there were still problems that needed to be addressed: weapons were becoming desynced, shots sometimes felt delayed or were being dropped, and lagging players still stuttered on their ends in some cases, regardless of what they set cl_backupcommands to. This new build should cover any known issues with the skip correction, along with several other minor bug fixes.

Another change worth mentioning is that modders can now change the result value of some ACS EVENT scripts to do interesting things like:
  • Decide on whether or not chat messages will get printed on the screen with GAMEEVENT_CHAT.
  • Change how much damage will actually be inflicted on an actor with GAMEEVENT_ACTOR_DAMAGED or GAMEEVENT_ACTOR_ARMORDAMAGED. The latter is a new event type that unlike the former, triggers just before an actor's armor absorbs any of the damage.
Any new feedback on the changes to the skip correction is greatly appreciated. Happy testing everyone!
