Hi Jay/list, I can confirm this fix does not solve the problem. I was wondering of the CNetworkArray fix was in the SDK code and if so, if you could share it with us? It's definately somewhere in the sending from server-side poseparams to clientside poseparams that there's an error. I copy the 'steer' param over to the player where it's networked too, since the player is holding the steering wheel, and that one is nice and constant - proving that serverside the input is clean. I also monitored the poseparam as soon as I could in the client and there it was already corrupted.
It's only visible with vehicles, but boy is it a graphical showstopper. I'd love to get it fixed since 1. were probably going public soon and 2. I'd hate to see this bug celebrate it's first anniversary, I feel old enough as it is ^^ If it should help, I can easily make a video of the problem. Thanks for any help/info, -- Maarten > Sorry, that didn't fix it for me :( ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jay Stelly" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, January 30, 2007 4:11 PM Subject: RE: [hlcoders] Vehicle pose parameters instability I fixed a bug in Portal with CNetworkArray. The symptoms sound similar to this where a networked array would not get the correct values on the client. Because of the nature of the bug you could actually update element zero and get the values networked properly. You might try forcing element zero to update: // add something like this to your vehicle think float flTmp = GetPoseParameter(0); SetPoseParameter( 0, flTmp + 0.5f ); SetPoseParameter( 0, flTmp ); Does that fix the problem?

The pose parameter keeps flickering to 0.0f. If you check the values of the pose parameter on the server and client, I believe you'll notice that it only flickers on the client, which leads me to believe that it's not getting sent to the client properly. It's odd how this only happens with vehicle entities, while other entities don't exhibit this pose parameter flickering. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, January 30, 2007 1:52 PM Subject: [hlcoders] Vehicle pose parameters instability > This is a problem we've had over half a year, but I've only discovered > this mailing list now and I think my mails to Yahn are somewhere in > his spam-archives :) > > Ever since we ported to the newer SDK version of august last year, > we've had problems with our vehicle's pose parameters.
