Questions about multiplayer

[half-lifeer]

Hello, you just did a really good job, and i have a few requests.

1. Could you create an antilag fix for your classic patch? (entitiesmp.dll & gamemp.dll)
   I mean the screenstuttering in fragmatch, when ping is less than 54 ms.
   Ofc we have a version of it, one with autoscreenshot and without, but its unstable and brokes demos.
   If its will be yours solution, thats could improve multiplayer expirience.

2. Could you create a timestamp for events in dedicated server?
   For kills, server shutdowns and etc that is important.
   It must be a real helpful thing for server administration.

1. There's already a solution against stuttering at lower latency but it's only available in the custom mod, i.e. not vanilla or other mods with own code. The command is gam_bDisableLocalPrediction and the respective option is also available in-game under "Custom mod settings".

2. If you mean the timestamps next to every line in the game log, I've already implemented them for the upcoming version.

1. You mean i'll write ingame console - /gam_bdisablelocalpredictions=1 ?
   Just tried, its works. Thanks. Why its dont turned on by default? It causes some issues if its set "1"?

Updated 2 hours later: screenshaking was stopped, but players are shaking, Any solutions to fix that?

2. About timestamp - you mean SeriousSam_Custom.log or dedicated.log or both?

1. Local prediction is configured to "Auto" by default (gam_bDisableLocalPrediction = -1), which is disabled only when the latency goes too low, otherwise enabled to eliminate input lag at higher latency. It doesn't affect entities of remote players.
   If you want to disable all prediction, you can just switch the network connection setting to "LAN gaming", or disable prediction in the custom Classics Patch preset (cli_bCustomPrediction = 0), if using that one (needs to be selected again after changing its values).
   There are also just regular prediction settings in the game in OPTIONS -> ADVANCED OPTIONS -> Advanced prediction options

2. Timestamps universally appear in any log file and console output.

I have already an experience with LAN gaming network preset, it's causing an inputlag then. Mouse axis comes to hard to play with.
That's why I am asking about that making that lag fix, similar to https://www.gamezone24.net/forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=324

[DreamyCecil]

The only difference between the LAN gaming preset and the rest is the disabled prediction setting, which is what my command essentially does too but only for the local player entity instead of everything that can be predicted. It should not have any input lag that's worse than playing locally when latency is below 50 ms.

Here the files.

I tried to found out the functions with Codex, maybe its tell to you something:

?GetLerpedPlacement@CPlayer@@UBE?AVCPlacement3D@@XZ
?csm_bAntiLowPingLag@@3JA
?csm_bAutoScreenShot@@3JA
?csm_bTakeScreenshot@@3JA

So i am preparing video right now to show you what i am talking about. Trying to collect more information to show you, needs more tests.
