I've come to the conclusion, finally, that the Source engine in its present
form does not do multiplayer vehicles well.
The issue is this: for a smooth experience, we need prediction. To do
prediction, we need to be able to simulate a vehicle forward multiple
timesteps relative to the

This is the reason I made my vehicles purely out of SOLID_BBOX. I was able
to reduce cpu load from physics by ALOT and was able to have great
prediction. On top of that, I controled my movements with 100% precision.
Only downside was I had to
And found the bug. FYI in the Makefile you shouldn't be referencing
tier0_i486.so and vstdlib_i486.so by $(GAME_DIR)/bin. As these symbolic
links are made in the Makefile when you do a 'make mod' it will suffice to
have it set to just 'tier0_i486.so' and 'vstdlib_i486.so'. If you do a 'ldd'

I remember Valve said Havok doesn't want their code opened in the SDK at
all, so I doubt Valve wants to start opening anything up in the VPhysics
interface to get the functionality you want.
I chose client-side vehicles because it's the fastest solution. You
just move the vehicle code

We are attempting to rewrite our prediction code in order to make collisions
less crazy. We might just drop the idea at this point. As for custom
physics, this is the implementation we currently have, however there is no
way to trace a
Does SweepCollideable(...) not support OBB? I know const.h says
SOLID_OBB is not implemented, but from what little I played with it,
SweepCollideable seemed to correctly orient the entity's bounding box
before doing the trace.
As far as VPhysics, what about using PhysShouldCollide(
I believe someone from Valve mentioned earlier that SweepCollideable() and
TraceRay() are currently stub implementations in IPhysicsEnvironment, so
they don't do anything meaningful.

are all courpted the first time i built the mod code -

That's interesting Krenzo. I will have to check out how PhysShouldCollide
works. If it works alright, it could really help with the prediction. At the
very least we could implement something like sv_turbophysics. What may be
difficult is getting
