#4145: ..

by makkE on 03/18/2005 14:15

Axel, what you are experiencing are the effects of the fully client-side netcode.
That fraction of a second is your ping + your opponents ping.
Both players get shot, because both players have hit their target, regardless of ping and time diffrences.
This assures that players play on an even field, and is hopefully never going to change.
This assures you get every frag that is yours, even if you ping 200... almost every other game will exclude an hpb from topping the scoreboard, he will lose frags due to the server only counting whose frags reached him first.
So don´t complain bout "I shot him and he still shot me", because from your opponents view it looks just the same..

And still a low ping has advantages, because the lower the ping, the closer you are to the "real" time the game happens at...

I don't want to waste your time but need to ask, what was changed between the 2004 release and the latest one, concerning coopedit? I'm trying to update orb so I can play with a friend with more functionality (placing more types of entities like mapmodels etc.). It's no big deal but if it's no trouble please give me a brief overview - a few words only, so I know where to begin or what to look for.. then again, maybe it's not for me if I can't figure it on my own but I'll try anyway and could use a little help.

Orb is based on the 2003 release - sorry, my mistake.

Bonjour,

"update from master server" ne fonctionne pas. Du moins, je n'ai pas la liste des servers a l'ecran.
Comment faire?

merci

-----------
"update from master server" is impossible. I can't see the servers.
Why?

Thanks

#4149: max users online

whats the max users for a server?

by D.plomat on 03/22/2005 10:59, refers to #4149

IIRC the hard limit is 255 or similar.

But the real limit is the bandwidth, and the practical limit is the size of the current map.

It often plays fluently from 2 to 8 players but on a server with high bandwidth it can probably be much more, i remember having played 12ppl on a server, 2-3 of them were often lagged, but as the other still had correct ping and packetjump it's probably those 2-3 players having a poor connection.

On a LAN, when i test it with only 1 client and 1 server, it uses about 5 packets per second. I don't remember the size of the packets but they were very small so maybe 50 players on a 100Mbps LAN would be ok?

#4152: Compiling Cube (with MVC 6.0)

by robert|23 on 03/22/2005 20:25

Hey!

firstly the output:
==========================================
Kompilierung läuft...
worldio.cpp
G:\code\cube\src\worldio.cpp(247) : error C2374: 'i' : Neudefinition; Mehrfachinitialisierung
G:\code\cube\src\worldio.cpp(232) : Siehe Deklaration von 'i'
G:\code\cube\src\worldio.cpp(313) : error C2374: 'i' : Neudefinition; Mehrfachinitialisierung
G:\code\cube\src\worldio.cpp(232) : Siehe Deklaration von 'i'
Fehler beim Ausführen von cl.exe
========================================
ok, that means i were redefined, but i can't see a 'i'

Whether i look to the code in this lines i see the problem is by "loopi(...)"

===== tools.h ============
#define loop(v,m) for(int v = 0; v<(m); v++)
#define loopi(m) loop(i,m)
==========================
i didn't understand this two lines.
if i use loopi with _one_ argument m, how can this clal loop with _two_ arguments?

(not the best englisch ;) )

Robert:
There are some problems with the cube code and MSVC...
In savegamedemo.cpp:
There are 2 lines like this:
if(nmonsters!=monsters.length()) return loadgameout(); }

change them to something like this:
if(nmonsters!=monsters.length()) { loadgameout(); return; }

worldio.cpp(like you showed):
In 2 functions, the macro 'loopi' is used more than once, which will redefine 'int i'. Its better to change them with a loop like this
loopi(....) // Like it is now
loop(a, ...) // New one, this will do a for loop with an integer called 'a'.

Or even better: change them with traditional for-loops.

Hint: Check my bot source for those files.

Hope I made any sence ;-)

yeah, the first think i done.
and m soluton for the loops are simple for loops. i think, a loop is not to long to use a macro for that o_O

It´s the file named .tar.gz.
that´s an archive too. You can extract it with winrar for example, and then run cube.bat.

or more simple you can download the win installer found here:

When linking to Quadropolis pages, leave out the session ID string - just use everything before the ? mark.

So node 2 = http://cube.snieb.com/node/2
