Every single time you step a projectile, rewind player position by how much the attacker was lagging when they fired the projectile. Alternatively, just by how much they're lagging at the very moment, but that's harder and fininicky because of the second thing. In order to make collision realistic for the person being hit, extrapolate the projectile position on the client side by how much the attacker was lagging. Just store the projectile's "lag" while you sync it.

Hmm...

That still allows teleporting rockets though.

[Phantom Brave]

The rockets only "teleport" when they're first fired. To make up for that, check if they can know the projectile exists yet - if they can't, then delay hitreg until they can, lowering how much the projectile is being compensated each step to compensate, until you reach a point where either the projectile hits or misses, or you run out of either players' lag to backtrack the compensation by.

It's not the best way to describe it, but it's the best I can do. I'm about to go to sleep.

[Orpheon]

This is going to be a bitch to implement. Good thinking, although I'm not sure how safe that last part is. It's usually not that reliable to start assuming when the client will receive something, especially not with the current event acking system.

Also, in general, anyone who is still coding on something in pygg2 please stop using game.current_state. It's already used FAR too often, and it makes some really annoying and hard to detect bugs.

ITT: (and section)

You, sir, have made my day.

[Phantom Brave]

If you want a cheaper/easier way to do it you can just spawn projectiles ahead of where they normally spawn (with reverse inheritance to compensate for movement) and do a hitscan between the normal and compensated spawn positions for PB shot compensation.

i have no idea how to install this i did everything but i cant understand the pysfml thing somone plz help.

[NAGN]

do you have mingw installed?

download this
http://www.sfml-dev.org/download/2.0-rc/SFML-2.0-rc-windows-32-gcc4-sjlj.zip

and copy paste the include, bin, and lib folders iinto C:/MingW32/bin, /lib, etc. etc.

then install  the proper version from here, depending on your version (you should be using 2.7, 32bit python, I think, 64 bit might work now but I haven't checked)
http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pysfml

then you should work

alternatively, if you jsut want to test the ropes and see what's up, you can download this

and run the client and server batch files

[notarctic]

ok now... wheres the servers

[Orpheon]

ok now... wheres the servers

No-one is hosting this. Why do that, when damage isn't even implemented?

[notarctic]

then what was with the >100 person development server

[Orpheon]

then what was with the >100 person development server

A bug/mistake no-one ever cared enough to fix.

[notarctic]

then why were there about 80 people in the server leaving al the other servers empy

[Orpheon]

then why were there about 80 people in the server leaving al the other servers empy

It is a bug in the player number count sender. There weren't 80 people.

[notarctic]

oh

[ajf]

A bug you say?

[Phantom Brave]

ur a bug lll
