Re: [hlcoders] HL1 timerefresh
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I seem to remember that if you register some commands very early on (as soon as you get access to the engine funcs) you can register a function before the engine (if it hasn't beaten you to it). If you are really lucky the function won't have been registered and the engines attempts to register its own function will put a warning on the console. Of course, this is a very very very vague memory. It's probably wrong, but easy to check while you wait for Valve's response? -- ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
[hlcoders] Glitchy Animations In Third Person, Based on standard HL2DM
--
[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ]
Hi
I'm trying to get started with third person but the animations are really
glitchy - they start to play but its like they are constantly resetting so
the model wobels a heck of a lot. I found a wavelength post about it (with a
couple of suggestions) but still can't get around it. Setting
cl_pred_optimize to 1 instead of 2 stops this without totally disabling
preditction, but after looking at the places where cl_pred_optimize is used
i'm more than a little bit lost as to what specifically is causing it.
This is the Wavelength post that seems similar to what I describe, but
cannot confirm it is the same problem:
http://forums.thewavelength.net/index.php?showtopic=11505st=0
The only bit of code that seems to depend on cl_pred_optimize 2 is listed
below.
CPrediction::ComputeFirstCommandToExecute
snip
// Otherwise, there is a second optimization, wherein if we did receive an
update, but no
// values differed (or were outside their epsilon) and the server actually
acknowledged running
// one or more commands, then we can revert the entity to the predicted
state from last frame,
// shift the # of commands worth of intermediate state off of front the
intermediate state array, and
// only predict the usercmd from the latest render frame.
if ( cl_pred_optimize.GetInt() = 2
!m_bPreviousAckHadErrors
m_nCommandsPredicted 0
m_nServerCommandsAcknowledged 0
m_nServerCommandsAcknowledged = m_nCommandsPredicted )
{
// Copy all of the previously predicted data back into entity so we can skip
repredicting it
// This is the final slot that we previously predicted
RestoreEntityToPredictedFrame( m_nCommandsPredicted - 1 );
// Shift intermediate state blocks down by # of commands ack'd
ShiftIntermediateDataForward( m_nServerCommandsAcknowledged,
m_nCommandsPredicted );
// Only predict new commands (note, this should be the same number that we
could compute
// above based on outgoing_command - incoming_acknowledged - 1
skipahead = ( m_nCommandsPredicted - m_nServerCommandsAcknowledged );
So at a Hl2 'noob' guessing I would say... For some reason my animation is
getting reset because the prediction code doesn't think that any of the
values are sufficiently different? Although when the code takes the other
path (cl_pred_optimize=1) the animation plays smoothly.
Please help
John
