Freezing on new maps - Coke - 23-02-2008
Hmm.. this may of been an issue with Mirage since forever, but I'm only just noticing it now I'm doing a lot of mapping.
Very, very frequently (more often than not) when I walk off the edge onto a new map I will get stuck, the bizarre thing is I have a position confirm command and when I use it I'm actually on the same square the client is showing me anyway... o.0
Is there any confirmed tried and tested method that stops this from happening? I am assuming when you switch maps it checks and confirms your position already?
I swear it never used to do it this much... only usually if I warp around a single map or send the map editor with people running around and things... o.0
Makes it unplayable *tear*
Re: Freezing on new maps - Coke - 23-02-2008
Going to put location confirmation packets in the canmove sub... for example:
Code:
' Check if they can warp to a new map
If Map.Right > 0 Then
Call SendPlayerRequestNewMap
GettingMap = True
End If
CanMove = False
'-----------------------------------------------------
'Fix the thing?
Call SendData("fix" & SEP_CHAR & END_CHAR)
'-----------------------------------------------------
Exit FunctionShould work if I do it for all dirs... o.0

Seems to of worked, and doesn't seem to be putting any map change lag in either :>
Huzaa!

I had the same problem, I added a boolean and checked after a second or two if they were frozen, then warped them.
I posted a long time ago, and nobody had any idea what I was talking about. At least I know it wasn't just me.. XD

I'd be interested in that fix too dude, freezing is a king size pain in the lemon with Mirage :]

Right that fix is useless on a live server, it actually makes things worse. Can I grab that if player isn't moving for 5 seconds location request code please?
