But still delayed vehicle's projectile fire

[Buggie]

Yes. It is hard make projectiles Lag Compensated.
Currently fire on server, so it suffer from ping.

Will need to be built into FNN and or UNN weapons for vehicles. Not sure this can be done .. perhaps VCTF needs its own NewNet.

[Buggie]

I know few ways how make weapons LC. All of them not perfect. So for start I wanna find out what way use NewNet stuff, for decide it is fit or not.

[Deepu]

Newnet uses dummy projectiles for firing, it just register the client fire. LC and Zp are not using dummy projectiles.

[Buggie]

And what happen on server-side? Not enough register fire fact with location and spawn projectile on client.
On server must be some processing for that. Or it smoke and mirrors for client - real fire happens with same delay as before. And on client you see how you hit enemy, but on server - this not happen, so no damage.

[Deepu]

Fire function of the weapon is firing a dummy projectile and client fire uses the damaging projectile so others can see a dummy non damaging projectile but the client fire damage will register with the server using BBPlayer replicated values.

[Buggie]

Not really get what happen and where. On client you fire real projectile, register damage and send to server? On server just dummy projectile which replicate to other clients?

Damaging projectile are not visible to the other client side, only the dummy projectile but client damage will register with the server by using BBPlayer.

By the way, was it already known that if you have the flag and you jump in a manta you automatically drop the flag... and I just missed that?

That looks a little awkward, though likely not correctable.

Issue is with the model, not the mod.

[Buggie]

Flag drop by design.

Any notes acceptable only for latest version.
Latest version use Manta closed hull, without any driver model inside.
