I know its not actually lag that make you stuck.....It's like a force keeps pulling you back!

What causes this?

Ive been on really laggy server and u kind of warp around....this is diffrent as you get stuck in the same area...and you cannont move forward for more then a few feet.

Yes, titan and i have had this problem while beta testing. We are on a 2 player server, both with cable internet connections. It cannot be lag, anyone know what it is?

The host can run around freely

And it isnt the custom scripts acting up either....i lag walked into the teleporter(after trying several times)And i teleported!!

So the customs are working....but the harvy has to be killed to get it working (i think this is in the original script)

That "force" is the host rig and your rig trying to figure out where in the Renegade map your "true" location is.

as you move - your world coodinates are passed to the host - which in turns sends updates to anyone around you - so everyone is about where they are seen.

if you start to lag - or go out of sync - you may be shifted around - as your rig and and the host "argue" where your really at.

Worst case - you get transported into a wall or fall through the map (the "blue hell")

Best case - you seem to skate around ("popping") around the terrain.

Similar to when a sniper goes into scope mode - they seem to "pop" in and out of view (or shift side to side).

The more players - the more traffic - the host rig specs -maps - all make a difference in seeing this.

Thats why you should put on client_physics_optimization (hit the ~ when in game - then hit c - and selecting the command) on when you start Renegade - it cuts some of the junk out.

Thanks rook!!

You obviously know what your doing....

I was told to check vis in my collision propertys on my whole mesh since my map has alot of height.....i tested with just the mesh and 2 start-up spawners and i still acompanied this problem.

I noticed that when he would shoot me,That he was looking in the opposite direction or at the wall.

Could the vis being checked cause this?

possibly --

vis - if done incorrectly - can mess up a map.

try to remake the map without the vis - and see if you still have problems.

Greg said that most maps does not need vis --

so give that a try.

i tried taking out all vis mesh and just used the terrain(no vis no pathfinding)

I placed the buildings back together(so the extrior wasn't edited)

And i recieve the same problem....

I export as renegade terrain with smooth verts box checked.

i can send anyone who knows what they are doing the W3D file to be examined.

Ive spent alot of time and completed everything(including spawns,pt's scripts,VIS,pathfinding,everything in commando)

I just cant seem to shake this problem.
