Summary

0001015: Players able to taunt even if their connection to server lost ("waiting for server")

Description

You can taunt locally regardless of that server think about it if ping is high or connection interrupted or lost.

Steps To Reproduce

Run Zandronum server with taunts enables and connect a client with high ping (600-1000). Taunt for once and notice that it happens instantly locally.

Notes
(0006880) Watermelon (developer) 2013-08-01 14:17	This is because it's done clientside

(0006884) ZzZombo (reporter) 2013-08-01 15:41	No, playing the taunt sound is sure clientside, but it's not only that, the client should first notify server about taunt.

(0006885) Watermelon (developer) 2013-08-01 15:55	Are you saying the client does not inform the server when you press taunt if you have a ping spike?

(0009311) Watermelon (developer) 2014-06-14 17:32	Are you requesting that taunting be done where it is first sent to the server and then back to the client...and then played?

(0009368) ZzZombo (reporter) 2014-06-15 11:04	Yes, because it makes sense? Like you won't go through a closed door until you open it on the server.

(0024594) Ru5tK1ng (updater) 2025-10-25 06:18	Disagree. It seems pointless to waste bandwidth on sending a taunt to and from the server. It hasn't come up as an issue in 13 years, so no change required.
