[wip] killer instinct doom

[doomero]

compatible with zandronum, my first fighting game mod for zandronum, i am trying to make my best job on this and use only zandronum supported codes:

this was tested on zandronum singleplayer recently

this was tested on febrary of this year, but using skulltag, i dont know waht happen if i tested this on zandronum mp since i changed some codes, but in theory i guess the multiplayer will work similar or better. Anyway i will test this on mp and see what happen =)

enjoy guys

pd: i guess i need to change the skulltag logo (orchid stage and menu) and change for zandronum XD

[one_Two]

Very nice work, how many different moves do they have?

[doomero]

the special moves were based from snes the 70% and 30% from arcade is a mix, you can use lot of diferent mix of combos =) my max was 18 with sabrewulf and 15 with fulgore, ultra max for sabrewulf is 36 and 34 for fulgore.

[Lord_of_D:]

but seriously, you really make epic stuff >_>

[BenClark]

Wow, this is batshit crazy. Have you ever thought about making a doom themed fighting game with custom sprites or something?

i have a problem with zandronum, i tested on multiplayer and i have more lag than skulltag, i dont know why, and later i added the skulltag data and skulltag wad and happen the same, i am thinking the problem could be the gl mode or another cause.

[NachtIntellect]

Good to see you are working on this, nice to know this project is still alive.
(Sorry I wouldn't know how to fix it, perhaps you need to tamper with it a little?)

[doomero]

what is the difference between zandronum.exe and skulltag.exe?

becuase if skulltag.exe (98d) run more decent than zandronum, perhaps that diference is determinant.

pd: i tested on software mode, and the problem persists, so the open gl is not the trouble.

other thing: the problem only appear at 2 situations:

1. when i damage the other actor.
2. when i press the crouch button.

also i used +clientsideonly flag (for impact sprite) and +serversideonly (the invisible missile actor for damage the other char and nothing =(

Are you using a lot of GetPlayerInput in your scripts?

[doomero]

Are you using a lot of GetPlayerInput in your scripts?

yes, exist 3 scripts; each of that have lot of conditional events, that is the trouble?

[Ænima]

Not sure. Make sure the flag "compat_clientssendfullbuttoninfo" is always on when playing this mod.

You can do this automatically by making a script like this:

Code: Select all

script 999 OPEN
{
  delay(2);
  ConsoleCommand("compat_clientssendfullbuttoninfo 1");
}

[doomero]

ok, tested, and no =( still persists, btw i used that options on compatibility flags, becuase without that you cant control the char or player select.

other question, what was the last skulltag 98 e alpha build? for know if the problem started on the alphas ( i tested with the first zandronum alpha and the problem persists).

[Torr Samaho]

becuase if skulltag.exe (98d) run more decent than zandronum, perhaps that diference is determinant.

Zandronum fixes a truckload of bugs found in 98d and some of the fixes inevitably increase net traffic. Did you do a net traffic analysis to see which actor type or script is causing the most traffic?

Not sure. Make sure the flag "compat_clientssendfullbuttoninfo" is always on when playing this mod.

98d handled this the same waym but enabling the flag will increase net traffic for sure.

other question, what was the last skulltag 98 e alpha build? for know if the problem started on the alphas ( i tested with the first zandronum alpha and the problem persists).

I don't have the exact number at hand, but there are lots of 98e beta builds to test on my beta builds and mics and unofficial beta builds mediafire pages.

[doomero]

how i can do that? see what actor is causing this lag? becuase only happen when the other char recive damage and pressing the crouch button (bt_back)

pd: i tested, the results were this:

skulltag 98e dev 3392 works fine.
skulltag 98e dev 3411 and 3417 (i guess this is the last build) appear the problem, but is much worse than zandronum, the trouble is increased:

i cant control good the player select and char
i cant see the walk or jump animation, only the char on stand state and moving for art of magic.
i cant see the "ready", "brutal combo", etc.

but on the first alphas of zandronum those new problems was fixed, but the lag still persists when i damage the char and press the crouch button.

in conclusion all the alphas of 98e except 3411-3417, the mod runs good.

pd: i founded the real cause of the problem:

weren´t the music, the camera script, the getplayerinput or the script of the repulsion.

the problem are 2: were the actors, sabrewulf/fulgore, if i put serversideonly on this chars the problem is solved, no lag, but the bad thing those are invisible =( but is strange becuase on skulltag 98d i dont have this problem the game runs good, Torr what changes you added on decorate actors? because i guess this issue could be afect other mods, now zandronum is more sensible with complex decorates than skulltag.

now back to the mod:

this video show the big part of sabrewulf combos, was tested on skulltag 98d multiplayer mode.

Several DECORATE functions didn't work properly online in 98d, but are fixed in Zandronum. The price is increased net traffic for the fixed functions though. If you post the DECORATE code of the actors you have problems with I can possibly say something more specific.

ok torr this is one of the decorates of sabrewulf

https://rapidshare.com/files/1567859972 ... ecorate.7z

at the worst of the cases, becuase reading your answer the only way is remove some codes of my actor for not demant more traffic the risk is hight, becuase could decrece the quality of the actor, exist a way to launch for example a "patch" for zandronum for back to 98d?

[Torr Samaho]

Alright, this one actor alone has more than 7500 lines of DECORATE code and calls a couple of ACS scripts. That's almost impossible to debug. Can you condense this to a minimal example wad?

We should first understand what is causing the lag and then we can start thinking about possible solutions.

[doomero]

Torr i founded the problem:

is a script use too much takeinventories, i remove all those and i used clearinventory.
