Mutator: Mover Replication fix
Posted: Fri Jan 25, 2008 2:15 pm
This is a tiny mutator I made to change some mover properties (such as movetime, remoterole) to make movers sync better with clients in online games. Some movers may slow down or speed up (its more noticeable with movers that have a high movetime).
The biggest difference can be noticed in maps like VeloraEnd and NaliBoat:
VeloraEnd - The bridge movetime gets slowed down from 60 seconds to 100 seconds becouse thats how clients normally see the speed as, due to network compression on movers.
NaliBoat - The rotating mover's role is changed to DumbProxy to stay in sync with clients (it may take up some more bandwith and give some jumpy appearance, but at least it dosen't get it's hyper fast spinning speed now).
But well this mutator has it's advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages:
-Clients are much better in sync with servers with the movers.
Disadvantages:
-Some movers move slower and some faster.
-Rotating movers take up a little more bandwith than they usually do.

And the mutator can be started with command: Open NyLeve?Mutator=MoverRepFix.MoverRepFix
Or used in command a line or whatever.
