Ciao guys,

is it somehow possible to set different entity netprop for different players?

From players point of view:
Player A: netprop = 1.0
Player B: netprop = 1.0
Player C: netprop = 10.0

example in action:

1. have a prop_dynamic
2. set render color netprop
   1. for Ts: red color
   2. for CTs: blue color

I was looking for a way to solve this problem for a very long time. It seems the only way is to hook SendPacket, find the property in the netbuffer and replace it accordingly to the client address in the NetChannel

Oh my... I am lost here... Did you actually manage to do that?

The way the delta compression and packing works makes it almost impossible without massively crippling server performance.

And is it somehow possible to send my own SendPacket?
Not hooking and changing it, just create new one and send it.

Yes, it's possible. But if you want to make buffers for every player, then the server will have to compress the data for each player separately what will lead to lags

There's an extension for SM called SendProxy, it does just this.

As far as I know, SendProxy Manager can change netprops without changing them on server (just send them to players), but only for all players.
And I need to change netrop just for some players.

There is a function:
NET_SendPacket(INetChannel *,int,netadr_s const&,uchar const*,int,bf_write *,bool) 00163AA0
The only problem is to decompress the data in the buffer - bf_write. Or, may be the data is still not compressed here?

Why would that be the only way? Surely it assembles the packet at a prior point
