game/bgame/cgame confusion

(sniser) #1

Urk, I’m confused… I’m sure it’s just lack of very basic knowledge…

  • When I change the lean speed or max angle in bg_pmove.c, leaning is “jerky”. The same goes for leaving those values as they are, but allowing leaning while being prone.

  • When I allow spectators to fly through playerclip brushes, the movement “hangs” for a split second while entering such a brush - and seems to make a small leap forward when exiting it.

So I guess it’s something to do with the clientside prediction using the default values or something? I assumed changing stuff in bg_pmove.c affects both server and client? And I couldn’t find that duplicated anywhere else yet.

But here’s the kicker: I just realized I can’t get the HUD to change… no matter what I change in cg_draw for example - commenting out the whole contents of DrawCrosshair or even Draw2D - nothing has ANY effect. The compiled cgame_mp_x86.dll differs in size, but that’s it.

Maybe that’s the cause of the other annoyances too… something is definately very wrong heh… I’m totally stumped!

That really sounds like it’s not using the cgame.dll. Have you checked the console log after starting a map?
Also try starting the server/game with +sv_pure 0 if you don’t do that already, as pure servers don’t like if something isn’t in a PK3.

I love you… wanna bear my children? sv_pure did the trick yay!!! Now the HUD looks totally :weird: because of all the desperate changes I made :smiley:

I didn’t know there were copies of those .dll’s in the pak - I already tried overwriting the ones in etmain - if they aren’t used, why are they there? Oh well, now I at least know what to google for etc. thanks again!

The dlls in the mp_bin are required for verifying the code authenticity.
