Thanks Mark. I will give that a try.

The original problem was that weapons would shoot too fast, but I've been encountering a problem where weapon animations are just plain glitchy when not at a sub 50 ping. Both of these problems are only evident in the base SDK and not the HL2 DM SDK. Your moving the m_flNextPrimaryAttack variable into the player is an interesting hint at the real source of the problem, but the problem is not due to anything about how networked data is updated or received. The problem is that no weapons are being predicted! If you put "cl_predictionlist" in the console, it will print a list of all entities in the world that are being predicted. If you run in HL2 DM, the list is something along the lines of player, view model, and player weapons. However, if you look at the list in a base SDK mod, only the player and view model are listed. That's because your weapons aren't being predicted. The reason they're not predicted is because CWeaponSDKBase does not override C_BaseEntity's ShouldPredict() function to tell the game to predict the weapons. In the HL2 DM sdk, the weapons are derived from CWeaponHL2MPBase which overrides ShouldPredict() and returning true if the local player is the one holding the weapon. How to fix this bug: In weapon_sdkbase.h, add: #ifdef CLIENT_DLL virtual bool ShouldPredict(); #endif In weapon_sdkbase.cpp, add: #ifdef CLIENT_DLL bool CWeaponSDKBase::ShouldPredict() { if ( GetOwner() && GetOwner() == C_BasePlayer::GetLocalPlayer()) return true; return BaseClass::ShouldPredict(); } #endif Credit Goes to Justin Krenz -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rodrigo 'r2d2rigo' Diaz Sent: Sunday, February 03, 2008 8:37 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Weapon Prediction Pro [The entire original message is not included] _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
