Summary0000270: Improved pusher prediction
Description> And the client-side prediction also feels choppy/laggy if you're playing with a ping of approximately 200ms+. Particularly noticeable when jumping in the sectors.

> IMHO, the more client-side prediction, the better.

> In general I agree. The question is though how I should distribute my limited resources. Since the prediction IMO is already working quite well, it's probably more effective if I fix more serious bugs before further trying to refine the prediction here. You could create a feature request for an improved pusher prediction, so that this issue is not forgotten.

If you do not wish to alter the client-side prediction yet, would it be possible to at least prevent the spectators from being affected by the pushers? It looks like a bug, and it's fixed in ZDaemon.

Pull request.

The client ends up having two pushers spawned resulting in the misprediction.
With the test wad from the previous ticket: no need to emulate ping, simply test this on a local server with cl_showonetickpredictionerrors true.

Tried the test wad. Messed around in the green push area, and vice-versa, also using the teleports. No weird jittering or obvious prediction errors. I'd have used "cl_showonetickpredictionerrors true" but the command doesn't seem to exist in my build.
