Steven: go type /name ^1E^7xample in your console and hit enter, then press up arrow so you've got that line in your console again, and press the home key to move to the start of the line. The cursor disappears off the side of your screen and you have nfi where you're editing. Thanks for the explanation on it guys.

The . at the end of complaints is in the wrong colour too.

Something else I've noticed is, I have a bind that says ^_^ in global chat. The problem is the last character, the ^, doesn't count as a real character in the console, so there's no newline after it, and your log file winds up a bit screwed because of it. I don't think it has any real implication, just figured I'd mention it.

Problems from the side?

Post by Yamabushi »

Has anyone else experienced a problem with the hitboxes when side-raging someone? To be more precise, when at 90 plus/minus degrees to the target and maybe what would be 30-60' away, I have on more than one occasion fully unloaded on a stationary target and not registered any hits. Keep in mind this is while I'm crouched, what I'm saying is there is no way that I could have missed. [NW] Oral_B, clan-mate of ReyalP has also noticed the same thing. I usually play on Terminal Insanity MBox if that's relevant.

If this is indeed an issue, then hopefully it can be addressed. Either way, thank you for all the hard work that's gone into ETPro!

Demo would be good.
value of b_realhead on the server would be good. (/pb_cvarval b_realhead) I don't recall offhand what timb uses.

I've noticed not hitting, but haven't especially associated it with side-rage.

I have also noticed that on maps with really poor FPS (which TIMB seems to love :/) of hit detection gets pretty flakey.

I seem to recall hearing that hitboxes didn't actually rotate, but were locked on the axises of the map, don't know if that's true but it could possibly account for the problem.

Thanks for the quick response. Although I always record demo's, I wasn't thinking and did my normal daily delete. If and when it happens again, I'll be sure to save the demo. As for FPS, on my machine framerates almost never drop below 125, with the exception of one POS map that I can think of. So that may not be an issue for me, unless it's something server side that's affected?

BTW, I'm very happy with 3.1.9 whether this rare occurence is related to it or not. And... I'll try to "catch" the misses on "film" if it happens again.
Cheers,

Player bounding boxes never rotate. They are aligned to the axis of the map. However, except for a few odd cases (like jumping, swimming and prone), they normally enclose the model.

^ is that why sometimes the hit area seems 'wider' than at other times? like body shots you think you will miss actually hit, and other times you miss when you thought it would probably hit?

I always put that up to the fucked up lag and prediction or whatever I seem to get on the 75-250 ping isdn and jumpy fps, even against stationary targets.

It would account for that, yes. If you approach someone from southwest their width would be larder than if you approached directly from the south. You could prove that with a whole bunch of Pythagoras stuff and triangle drawing that I can't be bothered to do before breakfast.

I keep getting this console message after updating my server to 3.1.9 and I have no clue on how to solve it.

Image

First I used +fs_game etpro on my client and then it did not download the 3.1.9 pk3 from the server at all.
Then I launched ET without +fs_game on the client.
It downloaded the PK3 but was still using 3.1.0 (I think)
Then I removed the 3.1.0 pk3 and I still get the message above.
Any clues on why this is happening?

Well, I totally cleaned up the etpro folder on my client and extracted the DLL's and other files in the \etpro folder and I still have this problem.
I think I will wait for 3.2.0...
