Summary 0002671: TIDs only sent to client as short - huge issues when combined with UniqueTID()
Revision 2016-06-04 17:36 by Ru5tK1ng
Description UniqueTID() can return any TID in the range [1, 0x7FFFFFFF].

Only TIDs in the range [1, 32767] will be sent properly to the client, since the TID is sent as a signed short.

This causes quite a few issues with using UniqueTID() and newly-spawned actors as a way to send position data to the client (presumably you could also send angle/pitch data this way, but I haven't messed with that), namely that the client only gets a correct TID about 1/65536 of the time.

Right now, almost no Zandronum mods use UniqueTID(), but as mods get developed for Zandronum 3.0, this could very easily become an issue.
