We've found the lagging into walls always very very annoying so we decided it would be nice if it would be fixed so that you would just smoothly slide against the walls without the annoying lag. It is really really annoying when you try to buddy jump across a wall. Luckily we found a way to fix this problem.
Unfortunately the only way to fix this was by modding both the server and the client.
You can download the files here:

We already made 1 server but you might also want to host one so we also included the modded server.
Enjoy!
Edit:
I have made a couple of movies to show the difference:
No wall lag fix (normal)
With wall lag fix, which is a lot smoother and easier to do buddy jumping.
Edit:
I suggest reading this topic now.

He doesnt mean lagging thru a wall, he means thaat when you press up against a wall and to the side you dont smoothly slide off the character jumps forward and seems to get stuck then unstuck in the wall.

Nice fix, though I don't think it'll be used all that often due to it being a server and client fix.
You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

Sounds like a hack to me.
i play with a 1700-2500ms ping and i have never lagged though a wall.
|
I did not meant through the wall, just against it and not smoothly sliding against it.

Yes that's what I meant. Will post short movie to show the difference.

I know, we are looking for a serverside only way of fixing it , or at least trying to find a way that this modded game.exe it compatible with normal servers. If you try to join with a normal client on a modded server it will crash, so we had to mod the version too.

That's what we thought, I did not know whether I needed client side coding on the fix when I started, but when I found the bug I could only fix it with a patch to the server and client... Not changing the version number would make the client go weird and crash somewhat later...
We thought that even though it might not be played much it would be a good idea to release it anyway... If someone could figure out how to make it better compatible (eg. allow patched and non-patched clients on the server, only applying the fix to the patched clients) then they have at least a start...
I doubt there will be a lot of games played, but maybe just to test the fix ;P
I'm still looking whether I can support the 2 different clients, but it isn't easy  I have also looked into the "slow turrets", I think it can be fixed by a client side only patch, but I have not yet got that ready...
[edit]

that is interesting i didn't realise that this sort of thing could be fixed

Just trying hard and putting time into it makes it possible.. Guess the cause of the problem, check it, be wrong, do some tests on when it happens, guess, and finally you were right.. You "just" have to write the fix then, lol

If renguard would accept the changes it could probably easily be allowed as a valid exe, the real problem is that the client can't connect to unpatched servers, and the server does not support unpatched clients. That's less easy to fix, too

If I will fix the slow turrets bug I will release it separate from this, yes... As that will probably not be incompatible with the normal servers. The only problem then is renguard which will again notice the changes to game2.exe and will not allow those...
(If that is what you asked, as your question wasn't really clear to me)

This would be useful in Reborn or APB, would you mind if we included it in the next release?

With permission, this would be packaged with the next version of APB and I see no reason why Reborn wouldn't want to use it also.
However... see if you can do something about the sniper jiggling, which is probably the result of something gay like a last-minute change to make scoped mode go at walk speed. That's the biggest annoyance.

Well I see no reason why not to include it, as it improves gameplay and that's what we all want right (except Silent_Kane maybe). It would be nice to place our name and website in the credits then

I meant was it possible to fix the bug someone will be shooting at you with an arty on their screen, but on your screen they are looking away from you..
|
As StealthEye said, he's working on it, and rather close to fixing it. As he has already found it's cause, which is the turrets being updated every screen. The speed of which they are moving depends an a variable and the framerate. When a turret online moves it is updated at max 30 times a second, is the nur is 30, else it is lower.
With a FPS of 60 and a nur of 30 a turret other then your own moves at half the speed it should move. 60/30=.5 or 1/2 so with a nur of 15 you would get 60/15 = 1/4 of the normal speed.

See comment at WhiteDragon.
What do you mean about Sniper jigglling ? could you show that by a movie or something ? As I'm not totally sure what you mean.

I think the sniper thing is just plain lag. I bileave what he means when is, when a sniper is using the scope and walking they swith, or "jiggle", back and forth frome there current position, and there old one every frame or so. I think they have to be crouched too?
Mabe add somthing to the EXE making C.P.O Servers (Core Patch Only). Not renguard I dont like renguard...
Servers you can play in if you have corepatch and they could release the fixes you are makin along with some other stuff to! Possible the ability to change falling speeds making parichutes possible?
You should do this like Rock Patch for RA2, or ETS (extended Tiberian Sun).

It is definatively some sort of lag, but this is too, this might even fix that issue too, but I don't know. You can try it out if you want to

Why ? I meana most servers have CP2 and why only allow players that have CP2 too ? You could do it though , if you change a bit to the maphash then they will me on the same listing but only CP(3?) users could join. But therefore you could also copy all maps, place some extra char in the name and do the same for all CP users and then you could (as CP user) use both CP servers and non CP servers.
About the parachutes, thats possible now too, you just have to make them in scripts.dll and you can parachute on a server.
