Summary0000632: A_Chase does not properly inform client about jump to Idle state
DescriptionA_Chase checks whatever monster is friendly (or have master)
If yes, then it just wander for player/master and seeks anyone who
attack him.
If not, then jump to Idle (if exists) or Spawn state should occour.

On offline play (ZDoom and Skulltag) everything works properly.
But on network play strange things happen.
When we raise dead monster, Raise state is called and then we jump to See.
See state does all checks and we should land on Idle (because it exists),
but client thinks we land at Spawn (instead of Idle)
After that, A_Jump(256,"Idle") is not properly executed again
go we land in A_Die and later goto Spawn.Death

After that.. moster is alive but in -1 death frame.

PS: guess why I have goto Death.Spawn after A_Die()
yeah, this is another bug.. heh. too lazy to report it.

 Please check if this fixes the problem. Since you didn't include a complete example wad I couldn't test this myself.

 Can't reproduce, even without the fixed binary (98e-3299). Uploaded test wad used.

What I could understand, it's supposed to go to Idle state after being revived but apparently is going to Spawn instead.

Test wad has zombieman altered in a way that if it tries to go to Spawn state after being raised, it'd go translucent and spawn an Unknown. In Idle state it would behave correctly. Archvile's Missile state was edited out as well.

In online testing, the zombie would remain normal even after being revived. Both of us (me and Wartorn) had notarget cheat on so it went to Idle state, even when clientside.

I wouldn't be surprised I did this incorrectly but I've got trouble grasping the concept of this entire bug. Need a clearer explanation before getting a more proper test wad done...

 Without the fix, the actor should never go into the idle state on the client, the server simply instructs the client to enter the spawn state (I can clearly see this in the code). I guess your example wad seems to behave properly because most of the commands you use are completely server side. For instance, a client never jumps on A_JumpIfInventory on its own. It only jumps if the server instructs it to.

Try using different sprites for the Spawn and the Idle state. This way you should see in which state the actor actually is on the client.

Now select Diabolist and revive dead zombieman.
You will see.

Start non networked game to see correct behavior.

 Borg, did you try if the binary I posted fixes the problems you experienced?

 Well, your build does NOT work on my Win2003. It just hangs.
v0.98d works without any problems on my box.

 Did you try deleting your ini file? Does any of the 98e beta builds work for you?

 I am unable to run any 98e builds on Win2003.
I tried two different boxes, always same results.
It hangs, using 100% CPU

Did you try all official 98e builds (http://www.skulltag.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=77)?

 Borg's example works in 1.0. It was broken in 98d. But I noticed this bug in his mod.
