how is that client-side thingy done again?

[Andrew]

It's not in 1.11, I had to add it.

[Blakhart]

oh wait, is this something that's going to make gameplay all jerky?

[Andrew]

No. It will actually still "predict" explosions against static items like terrain and such, but otherwise it will wait for the server to notify it of explosions, i.e. it will pass through players and won't explode if it thinks it made a hit based on the client-side positions of the objects.

In regards to function attachments will this be limited to functions defined in script only or will it be possible to use this with natively defined functions?

*edit - removed quote to reduce scrolling *

[NoFiXette]

function attachments are global - so built-ins work too.

example:

Code: Select all

function getNumTeams_a() after getNumTeams
{
  %ret = 0;
}

and

function remoteEval_after() after remoteEval
{
  errorf("RemoteEval(%1, %2, %3, %4, %5, %6, %7, %8, %9);", %argv1, %argv2, %argv3, %argv4, %argv5, %argv6, %argv7, %argv8);
}

Ok, thanks for clarifying Nofix

The coding to the engine looks like fun

Terrain repeating needs to be gone too.

terrain doesn't morph with a low $pref::screensize setting


every one of your complaints seems to have something to do with the fact that you have a doggy dooty computer

[Blakhart]

an E8500 feeding a 8800gts @ 1024x768?

[Perrinoia]

My netbook plays tribes at 1024x600, and your running it on 8800GTs at 1024x728?!

You don't deserve that computer, send it to me.

[Blakhart]

Heh!

Well, I'm 44 and wear glasses so I need low res to see the itty bittty stuff on screen, but run at 16xAF and 4xAA @ 100Hz vsynch, so the system does get a workout, even at a low res.

[robindegen]

that's nothing for an 8800gts when running tribes. So not much of a workout really.

I like nofix's pre and post function idea.. very nice for making "plugins" and such

[NoFiXette]

Function attachments will change the way mods / scripts are developed. Personally, it's my favorite 1.40 addition, and that's saying a lot because andrew has done some serious magic with the script-engine.

[MadCowDisease2]

Does that mean we can force bumpmaps and better dynamic lights?

This isn't just an idea, it's part of 1.40.

Terrain repeating needs to be gone too.

Some mods/maps rely on this, though. What specifically is your reasoning?

[Blakhart]

looks like doggy dooe
