Number Seven

[7_.-seVen-._7]

well, i have to tell you one thing.. i improved alot.. why? because since i started to playing sam as child, i had no idea about netsettings, connections and so on.. once i choosed "LAN GAMING" , i didnt change it.. as well as i know, only LAN GAMING has prediction preset "0" .

but until yesterday i had no idea,what prediction 0 and 1 is.. someone explained me it very well and i can say, i played everytime with prediction 0. hardcore huh?

now i play with prediction set to 1 and here are some pics

Ok, so how to set it, so we can try for ourselves what it does?

No prediction - remote players are <insert your latency here> milliseconds ahead of where you see them. The server basically reports where the player is as it sees them, and your game simply displays the player there when the info reaches it.

Prediction - strafing lag, but players are predicted to be where they are server-side. Server sends info to your client, and your game, using some (crappy) equation and your ping predicts where the player WOULD be if they kept moving in the same direction by the time the server's message reaches you. Howerver if they change the direction they are going (strafing) they will still be predicted incorrectly, but when the next message reaches your client, telling it the player strafed, your game would predict them again, and teleport them to the spot it now thinks they are at. But by that time, with my ping anyway, the player probably changed the direction they are going in AGAIN, and so when my game gets the next message from the server it will have to teleport the player again due to prediction.

To disable prediction, you simply have to use the "LAN gaming" netscript when joining a game. However, this automatically disables local player prediction AS WELL as remote player prediction, meaning there will be a (longer) delay when you press your key to move forward and the character actually moving. Also, in Retarded Person View, your aim will be delayed by your latency too, making it impossible to aim. Unless you have 50 ping or something. And in 1st person if you have sharp turning enabled it will feel snappy, but will still lag behind, I.E. your shots will be <insert latency>+50ms behind where you see them on your screen.

@barktooth
eeehhhhh... i kinda see what you mean but I'm not sure if that anyhow helps me understand if that's a good thing or not. I think I personally should rather work on my own strafing, jumps and aim itself before I put my faith in these tricks

PS: retarded person view - lol

Nah, unless you have 20 ping or less it's not so good, but with like 50 ping and higher it's pretty horrible
(not sure how 7 played like this all that time :O )
