Update Released

[Fatty]

We have released an update to Counter-Strike: Source and the Source

engine. Run the hldsupdatetool to get this update.

 

This update adds two new maps to the Counter-Strike: Source stable, an

old classic de_inferno and new one called de_port. It also fixes a

couple bugs in the lag compensation code (i.e hitboxes).

LOL! Didn't you have to wait like 3 days for your last updates to finish?

Why fix hitboxes now? After a couple of months, I've figured it out and have been playing great last couple of days.

Are you saying valve changed hitboxes on this update? I didn't read that they were on the update list...Maybe I missed it?

[simkiller]

Ah, you're refering to fatty's post. Fatty, do you know if this will affect how my cl_interp and cl_interpolate settings are at?

Those words aren't even in my dictionary.

 

All our servers should be updated.

 

Who knows what works, but we do know that status reporting progs like hlsw and uglygs, etc, DO NOT work.

 

Who knows if any admin or reserves work.

Sim, if you've read any faq's on hitboxes then you would have read that the hitboxes dont line up with the player model while moving. Think they are refering to a possible fix to that issue.

[simkiller]

Both of those settings help in kind of the same fashion Brillow. So I was just wondering if anyonw knew if the change valve made was going to effect these settings.

[ZesteR]

What's the word on wood being transparent or something?

[Brillow_Head]

well if the hitboxes do indeed line up with the models then you can leave your interpolate at 1, dont know about your interp tho, playing around with it might help.

guys, as long as you have cl_interpolate 1 on, the hitboxes will never line up with the models. If you type just cl_interp in console it will tell you what this command does. It says something to the effect "Interpolate models this maying seconds in the past." so you see, the very nature of interp will not allow for the models and hitboxes to line up. The only way to get them to line up is to use cl_interpolate 0, this turns off any cl_interp setting you have. It will be ALOT choppier because there will be no lag competsation but your hitboxes will be right on.

 

If you want to test your cl_interp / cl_interpolate setting and see what will work best for you, simply start a client server. Put in one bot with only knives. and type the following commands: sv_cheats 1 and sv_showhitboxes 2. you will see a bunch of different colored polygons on or around the enemy model, depending on your interp settings. Those are the hitboxes.

 

Proceed from there.

 

When I did this test for myself I even tried doing cl_interp 0 and with cl_interpolate 1 on thinking that since my interp was 0 seconds in the past so keeping interpolate on would be ok and still line up the models. Not the case, hitboxes still showed up in front of model. must be the lag compensation or something.

 

anyway hope that helps you guys.
