Hi list, I'm back with an evolution.
As said previously, CUserCmd was what I was looking for and I succeed sending additional information and reading them. BUT I'm encountering a weird problem: when I'm starting recording a demo, it doesn't work fine. I decided to check that I have same amount of Read and Write. I discovered that when I don't record anything it is perfectly synchronous and I have the same number of Write and Read (packets of 8 write and 8 read) but when I start recorded I have twice more Write (packets of 16 write instead of 8) and only one more Read (packets of 9 instead of 8). Does anybody in here can explain why I have this result. Do I have to proceed differently ? I simply altered WriteUsercmd and ReadUsercmd to add my values.
