No, I tried it numerous times. The command pause doesn't stops anything, only the entities has no chance to change they speed. You can write messages, look at entities special effects (which is animated, and you will see it animated while in pause mode), and the biggest thing that we would like to allow: the client communicates with the server.
I think I wasn't clear or something, so once again: I would like to achieve that there is ABSOLUTELY NO packet send/recieve between the server and client while there's a real "breakdown" mode. I think that this can't be made with pure commands. I hope that someone, maybe on of the Half-Life 1 maker should read my question, because I don't think that anyone else should know, that there's a possibility of stopping the network data for a period of time and also stop frame processing and advance one frame whenever I want it. By the way, I'm glad that I found a place where I can get answer for this question, and that you answer it. 2009/9/22 Rodrigo 'r2d2rigo' Diaz <[email protected]> > Huh?
