RE: [hlcoders] Overflow problem

Title: Message

You might want to consider making that variable part of the client data so that it's (1) bit packed, and (2) processed through normal channels.   For instance, in "The Opera" I made the action meter the same thing, but using bit packing and settings in "delta.lst" it's handled as only 6 bytes. I'm guessing the armor value doesn't need to be exact when it comes to the client, so you can lower the amount of bits it uses when sent. For instance, you can represent the value as 10 bits instead of the 14 bits it would normally require; inherently, that means the data would only be sent 1/16th of the time (my math might be wrong; it's early, OK?).   Am I making sense here?

The only thing I can possible think it's related to is the new armor value we have been testing with, as it's currently set at 6000 (I change the message sending health and armor about to send WORDS and not BYTES). Anyone able to shead any light on this? cheers Rob _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
