Summary0000002: Crouch Toggle doesn't work online
DescriptionConflagratedCanine wrote:
This actually WAS reported before, but it was by Lord of Hell and everybody instantly flamed his one useful post.

Just as the title says, using crouch toggle online does nothing at all.
Normally this isn't a problem, but with more and more 'environmentally sensitive' wads floating around (Hide N' Seek, WDI, blah blah), I think it would be a nice feature to fix for players.
Steps To ReproduceExecute "crouch" in the console. Works offline, has no effect online.
Additional InformationThe crouch console command doesn't work because it uses ZDoom's Net_WriteByte mechanism which isn't used in multiplayer in Skulltag at all. To fix this, additional net code needs to be written: CLIENTCOMMANDS_ToggleCrouch, etc.

I think I found a way to let the client toggle crouch without writing any new net code (uses +crouch and +crouch internally). Can somebody test if this works sufficiently well:

It works, but there's a difference between online and offline behaviour.

Offline, if in crouch mode, jumping doesn't alter your viewpoint and sprite, but online, if jumping while in crouch mode, your viewpoint and sprite changes back to the regular height and sprite until you release the jump button.

Offline, while holding jump, you cannot toggle crouch until you release the jump button. Online you can.

Edit:

And BTW, can you enable client-side prediction for crouching? Offline, there's a smooth transition in the viewpoint from standing to crouching, but online it's fast and instant.

Since the online version is implemented very differently it's not surprising that it doesn't behave exactly the same. From what you report, I'd say it works sufficiently well though. Agreed?

IIRC client side prediction for crouching isn't implemented. If you would like to have it, please make a feature request. I personally don't think that it's really necessary though.

It works, but I really think that client-side prediction for crouching is crucial from a practical point of view. The instant transition also has some shakiness to it, so it can be quite disorienting if you use it a lot while aiming and such.

It'd be like not having jumping predicted.

Crouch toggling should now work sufficiently well. The fact that there is no client side prediction for crouching is a completely separate issue that it not only limited to toggling crouch.
