no improvements to the stair/step code? (53 comments)

( Forum: QL)

Posted by c1 @ 05:26 CDT, 7 October 2009 - iMsg

Hi there
I've started a thread in the ql forums BUT they've deleted it... bah. So I will create one here.

edit: OMG I AM BANNED IN THE QL FORUMS :>

I was looking forward to some improvements to the stair/step code because Syncerror said we will get improvements to the stair/step code this week (read it here)... but nothing happens

So I guess the stair/step code will remain at the current stage like the xerp/netcode...

Do you think there be improvements to the stair/step code someday?

CPMA had a setting in it which was similar to cg_smoothclient in baseq3. (some people say it was exactly the same) As soon as you set it to 1 your lg became 58% and your rail 83%.

oh okay. and is this still an issues for QL? because OP seems to imply this

No, QL has.... other.... netcode. Not as good as xerp, but better than normal.

there simply is no xerp cvar in ql that's why I wrote that.

<< Comment #44 @ 13:44 CDT, 12 October 2009 >>

luKrek - Reply to #42

well, xerp is just cg_smoothclients renamed and redone. The one people actually used and called "xerp" is the one that is ID's cg_smoothclients, which in fact exists in QL.

It is completely id code and was renamed in CPMA so that people's configs didn't automatically turn it on without knowing as it interacts with the CPMA netcode differently to the way it interacts with baseq3 netcode.

What is the purpose of this thread? You've already complained on the QL forums and received a response from Syncerror that it has been adressed and will be in the next update. So there wasn't an update this tuesday, wait till next week?

<< Comment #3 @ 06:11 CDT, 7 October 2009 >>

By

c1 - Reply to #2

I didnt complain. Look at the date of syncerror's response!
I wonder why they've deleted my thread in the ql forums... maybe because I show we should have get an update yesterday according to syncerror...

<< Comment #4 @ 06:46 CDT, 7 October 2009 >>

and now we'll get one next week. If it doesn't come out then i think you should ask for your money back.

you still believe in miracles? maybe santa will bring the update... sounds more realistic.
It would be funny if they will announce new maps for the next week BUT there wont be any ^^

we wont get updates we would like to see... like new maps and so on... but hey cg_impactMarkTime is soo awesome. How about a cvar to control the rocket smoke appearance time?

if you ride on the promised step code further, sync error wouldnt give update details to us anymore in the future.

it will be released, whats the point to rush things? if they do an update only for this, everybody will flame. please think 1 step ahead.

<< Comment #51 @ 03:55 CDT, 14 October 2009 >>

c1 - Reply to #49

He didnt gave much details anyway and what he said was... not always true. So who cares?
It will be released? Are you sure? I wont bet anything on it

here it is: http://www.esreality.com/?a=post&id=1767387
- Fixed smoothing issues in step code that caused some stair steps to be jittery.

sync error gives details to us, maybe its not much but read his lines carefully. sometimes an debate here can fix an issue.

for example we had here on esr an debate over fixing tdm modus. now the first step: - Changed Team Deathmatch spawn system to put you further away from your enemies.

Why they even fuck with the goddamn stair code now is beyond me. It's not a terrible adjustment but for fucks sake, work on something more substantial.

<< Comment #20 @ 22:33 CDT, 7 October 2009 >>

They deleted it because, I dunno, prolly cause you're bitching about STAIRS! Jesus, there are far more pressing issues to fix in Quake Live, like, I dunno, how about a timeout function?

There is timeout already

<< Comment #37 @ 03:23 CDT, 9 October 2009 >>

'timeout'

It's only available on private servers though and it'll probably never be available on public because pauses on public is not good.

because pauses on public is not good.

thats not true and its not the reason
(but we already had this kind of discussion here anyway)

pause is a strategically feature in duel like smileys and so on :D

That and it's handy when random family members feel it's necessary to ask you why they can't get on the interwebz when their wireless adapter is turned off.

After some month reading esr again I finally get the negative comments on my QL improvement/discussion journal. Now I want to write "STFU" and "you're an idiot" every time myself.

I hate dumb ungrateful people and I'm sorry I even looked lremotely like one :'(
