This update focuses on sync prediction features. Here are the latest changes:
- Added distance to impact chart for the player character (PC) and rockets (R#)
- Added landing prediction ring for predicted player ground impact
- Enabled spectator view of a player using syncr laser, ring, and chart without requiring cvar syncr_laser_all=1
- Reduced server and client load by lowering refresh rate
- Fixed the occasional player unable to use syncr
- Fixed the command sm_setsyncr notifying the wrong player
- Removed need to set cvar syncr_laser_all for syncr_rave to be visible
- Increased default for cvar syncr_warn_distance=440
- Added cvars syncr_chart[0/1] (default 1) and syncr_ring[0/1] (default 1) to control visibility of the new prediction features
- Calculations of distance between rockets (to compare cvar syncr_threshold) now weighs horizontal (0.7) and vertical disparities separately (0.3)
Known issues:
- The landing prediction ring currently only works flat horizontal surfaces, and hides when an impact is predicted on a wall
- The precision of the landing prediction ring and impact distances depend on the player's ping
- The player character (PC) bar shows impact distances to any surface within the player's movement arc rather than just the ground
Upgrade steps- Replace syncr.smx from tf/addons/sourcemod/plugins with the new one
- Due to the new cvars and changed recommended default values, delete tf/cfg/sourcemod/syncr.cfg and let the plugin recreate it
