Possible the player using "widescreenfix" which totally messes up the hitboxes.
@Radon Do you even read the replies? Read them again.
I don't think it is even F1 or WS so, lol. Might be from lag caused too? As I said so, I only have this issue with shotgun.. SPAZ and Stubby works fine to finish the knocked down opponent.Quote from Athanatos on July 12th, 2018, 01:49 PM @Radon Do you even read the replies? Read them again.
Why state 'shooting' from player won't overwrite anything else (bumped/lying on ground/etc)?Quote from Stormeus on July 12th, 2018, 07:32 PM They were bumped by another player before they started shooting. It's possible that the patches we added to prevent this from happening aren't working properly, or don't cover all cases.
Why remote player can be knocked by shotgun at shooter's screen while he are not knocked at his own screen? Why it not synchronized from knocked (or not knocked) player only? It could to help to avoid alot of problems with missed shoots.
Isn't remote players are under full control of vc-mp and can be protected of being knocked down at local's player screen?Quote from Stormeus on July 13th, 2018, 03:29 AM Because when you're hacking the internals of a 15 year old game that you don't have source code for to add multiplayer it's not as simple as using a "OverrideEverythingExceptShooting" function.
I am not aware how deep knowledge reverse engineering of vc-mp devs. Just I think it's critical part of gameplay needed to be improved. I personally don't like 'punchers' who abusing this sync bug but I also do not want fixsage of it by removing punch from game mechanics at all. Needs an alternative way to keep variety of gameplay.Quote from Stormeus on July 13th, 2018, 05:26 AM Part of the challenge is figuring out which game functions to call and hook to override the behavior that's been preprogrammed to behave in ways we don't like.
We understand, and we solved part of the problem of punch animations from playing for other players on your screen. Unfortunately that may not have solved the issue of players running into other players or some other edge cases we haven't reproduced, which we'll keep looking into.
