I've made a multi part player model using MOVETYPE_FOLLOW instead of setattachment (). It's tricky to make the body react in a synchronous way, but feasible.

[ceriux]

i started using movetype_follow. i was told by LH that its not as good as setattachment, so i changed my code to use it.

it syncs pretty well as far as i can tell.

hrmm, I think it's about time to me to learn more about setattachment then.

the code above could be used for weapons as well as a body =) right now im still using the quake guy. =) also works in multipalyer =)

Sounds interesting , post a vid sample if u can.

[ceriux]

sure as soon as i can. the current code posted above only draws the original body. but its easy enough to add in support for showing armors with a few lines (already added green armor.) id like to get some weapons added in before i make a video.

once i get all this added in, i might release the visual parts of my mod as a standalone so others can use it.

fte defaults to prediction enabled.
cl_nopred to turn it off, or sv_nqplayerphysics to force it off for all clients (yay! authentic nq physics!).
you would see the same thing with DP and its cl_movement 1 setting.
setattachment works clientside so is meant to function properly regardless of prediction, instead of only when its disabled.

Just a correction: the DP extension I was referring actually is DP_ENT_EXTERIORMODELTOCLIENT.

update, im still working on this. got all the armor coded in, but the weapons are crashing the game so i have to figure that out first.

edit: so there wasnt any problem with my code, some how one of the models became corrupt and thats fixed. which essentially means there are 2 things left to do. there's a bug with the exit level cam where you see the body still, and theres a bug with ring of invisibility where you have a body walking around with a floating pair of eyes (kinda funny looking). after that all is finished! then i can release.

sorry for double post, mod has been finished, ill add information to the top of post.

Hey, it would be great if you could add a readme to the archive. Check out some readmes from idgames2 as good examples: https://www.quaddicted.com/files/idgame ... nversions/
