I was recently looking into this as well, and found this: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=683570&page=3
The specific solution: if you comment out these lines from the server player .cpp (sdk_player.cpp, for example): SendPropExclude( "DT_BaseAnimating", "m_flPoseParameter" ), SendPropExclude( "DT_BaseAnimating", "m_flPlaybackRate" ), SendPropExclude( "DT_BaseAnimating", "m_nSequence" ), and SendPropExclude( "DT_ServerAnimationData" , "m_flCycle" ), SendPropExclude( "DT_AnimTimeMustBeFirst" , "m_flAnimTime" ), the choppiness goes away. Not totally sure of any unintended consequences of this, though.

Another curious thing I noticed is that when driving a veihcle this problem doesn't persist, movement is smooth. Surely, I can't be alone with this, because I think it's very much an issue with the sdk code. Anyone?

Unless perhaps that was just something I messed up, but I get this error: Client missing DT class CWaterBullet Host_EndGame: CL_ParseClassInfo_EndClasses: CreateDecoders failed. Dropped Player from server (Disconnect by user.) What codebase is this intended to be compiled with? Because, I see that it includes a 'vgui_video.cpp', which isn't in any of the 2007 SDKs I pulled from Source SDK (source code only and mp template) - Ended up removing it because even by including the file (thanks Google), there was a link error for it. Anyway, it would still be nice find a solution back at the template mod - I've tried messing with the rates and interp console commands since the rates seemed a little low, but I still get the same effect. Reading up on interpolation though, it sounds very much like what the problem could be, only I've no idea what to do about it, since I obviously won't be understanding that completely, as a beginner.

I don't recall the fix, but I do know that the SDK Skeleton player doesn't have the problem. https://code.google.com/p/sourcesdk-skeleton/ On that subject, an Alien Swarm version of the skeleton is nearing release. There's only multiplayer ragdolls left to get working. :) On 13/07/2011 7:28, Eek Glur wrote: Well, I noticed the problem in the beginning - so yes, I am experiencing this in a clean base - 2007 multiplayer template, only fixes are compile fixes, release build, default game directory (appid 218), etc. One strange thing I noticed is that while playing is choppy, if I record a demo, on playback it will be super smooth as if there wasn't a problem at all. It's as if the client isn't properly syncronized with the server, while playing. I don't know, but I've had some other people try it out, and they have the same problem, too. Also, sorry for breaking format, I assumed receiving digests would still send my threads back individually - not the case :P How much and exactly where have you been "toying" with your source code? I assume you're not experiencing these issues with a clean, unmodified 2007 scratch or template build? _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
