If you mean the lagging you get as you slide along a wall, I believe it is fixed.

If by "sticking to walls" you mean the problem of actually getting stuck in walls, the answer is they probably can't fix it. Ren's engine uses the shit-tacular worldbox system for collision detection which does not work very well with angled walls or pretty much anything that doesn't look like a square.

The sticking to the wall caused by a code problem has been solved a long time ago. BI released its fix for that and it was then imported in scripts.

The getting stuck to walls because of lag can never be solved. Ren's netcode is just horrible.

Getting the "tank bug", where your tank seems to lag forward, which gets solved when you go out of it and back in, will be solved in TT.

If I understand you well, that is a serverside effect and therefore not related to the version of scripts.dll you are using (if anything, it's the version the server is using).

For the ones of you still getting wall lag: Make sure you play on a server that has the fix. It only works if both the server and the client have the fix installed (ie. have a recent enough version of scripts.dll).

Someone shoot this guy please.

Renegade's net code is better than any other FPS I've played online.

Doom³ zDaemon, Gears of War, Fear, Unreal Tournament, and Halo PC was just the worst out of all of them.

How can someone say Ren's netcode is horrible when there's no shot lag, no leading, no trigger lag, no host advantage? (with exception to people putting up their scope, cause it makes the host see them as walking)

So...you have shot lag somehow???????
You have to lead shots with your sniper rifle???

Cause in those games I mentioned, you have to lead every shot with every weapon.

Even the sniper rifle, which is supposed to be an instant shot kind of weapon.
In those games I mentioned, host has no lag, no need to lead shots.

Halo PC, you don't even know where your enemies are.
You see where they were, and you have to shoot where they are, and lead the shot on top of that.

So you have to hit some invisible target, and lead your shot to hit that invisible target.

That's bad net code.

Renegade has insanely good net code.

how long have you been playing renegade?

I get trigger lag most days, there is definatly host advantage although due to the variety of players it varies.

Renegade has insanely bad netcode. The reason why it works a bit is because they trust the client way too much. The reason you can actually hit things on renegade is because the client tells the server what damage it's doing. Cheaters love that. Ever noticed you can be shot "through" the rock even after standing behind a rock for a few minutes? That's because of renegade's netcode. Ever seen how sometimes splash damage does not seem to occur where you shoot? Blame renegade's netcode. Ever noticed how other players can apparently damage you even if they are missing completely? I've lagged a circle around the AGT once, yep. Renegade netcode at its finest.
I know the exact reason why each of these effects occur, yet it's very hard to fix. I can't say it's the worst netcode ever; good netcode is rather hard to write and there's always something that is disappointing about a certain implementation, but Renegade's is most certainly not the best I've seen. Far from that.

I'd rather have lag that gives me graphical inaccuracies (shows me the enemy is missing) than have lag make me miss.

There's no trigger lag.
There is the graphical lag you mentioned.

I don't know if you are stupid, or horribly misinformed about Renegade.

The Renegadenetcode is build so that it would be playable even with shitloads of lag. To be able to properly play with high ping, you need the client to tell the server what it hit, and how much damage it did.
While in theory it is nice that the client can tell this, in practise it also throws the door wide open to cheaters. We are looking for ways to lessen the things the client determines, and increase the things the server determines. By doing so, a lot of cheats would directly become unusable.

Unfortunately, this discribed wall hugging can't be one of them without rewriting the entire netcode, as now the movement is "evened out" thanks to lag reduction. Meaning that the server never get's told that you moved back and fort from behind the way and back.

That sounds nice and all, but would it mean that you're going to change the netcode so trigger lag, bullet lag, etc. is increased or even introduced to the game????

I've been playing the game since 2002, and I play a fairly balanced mix of inf only, snipe only, CTF, and AOW...and the only times I notice lag is when the server teleports me to where it thinks I am, or when look like they're shooting what they're not.
That's not a big deal to me, and I don't know why it would ever be a big deal to anyone else.

If anything, TT will reduce lag. They're implementing several fixes to do this. But the insanely bad netcode Ren has makes it impossible to really remove lag without access to the source code.
