"HP Lag" and HP changes

Tseng · #1 07-12-2003, 06:20 AM

Yes, that's right, I said "HP Lag".

I have fixed what caused HP lag, so you no longer have to deal with it.

I will also tone HP down from 33.3 HP / heart to 20 HP / heart.

It directly resulted from the way the system was set up.

A clientside check if the player was hit in order to push them existed at the same time a serverside pushing of the player did; I removed the clientside one since if the player was not actually hurt, they shouldn't be pushed.

Ok, did it reduce lag a lot of just a little?

"HP Lag" appears to have been the clientside detecting the player was hit without them actually being hit, hence the quotes.

I think it was that if a player was lagging then they could register hits on people who appeared to be stationary, but were actually moving.

Not exactly that either; it was something along the lines of the individual player being hit's client thinking that they were hit, when they actually were not.
