My guess: Server rulez, clients follow. With every packet, the server send a svc_time, I guess.
do cl_messages a console, you see the svc_time listed. Session 1: ]map crossfire ]record small;wait;stop ]quit Session 2: ]/cl_messages -------- Message Load --------- User messages: 0:0.00K ------ End: 0 Total---- ]playdemo small Playing demo from C:\games\hl/valve/small.dem.

I am unable to capture 1 frame, but 3 frames with this method. As svc_setview is send only once, i guess was send on startup. And I guess svc_nop where send on init for "Keep-alive" purposes. svc_newusermsg looks ugly.. what this is? The small.dem files is 28.374 bytes long. Binary. Unknom format (network data raw dump?). Searchs at google for "Half-Life Protocol" end at a crappy tool :( The format of cl_messages its not fully usefull as is printf as %0.2f and not %0.3f. Loss precision :/ MC> Anyone happen to know if generally speaking on mods, the time a client has MC> been on the server is tracked in their edict, or if the time a player has MC> been on a server (including between map changes) is tracked by hlds instead?
