Found this usermsg called DesiredTimescale:
PHP Code:
message CCSUsrMsg_DesiredTimescale {
optional float desired_timescale = 1;
optional float duration_realtime_sec = 2;
optional int32 interpolator_type = 3;
optional float start_blend_time = 4;
}
I tested it out with this code:
PHP Code:
Handle msg = StartMessageOne( "DesiredTimescale", client );
if( msg != INVALID_HANDLE )
{
PrintToServer( "Successfully found DesiredTimescale UserMsg" );
Protobuf pb = UserMessageToProtobuf( msg );
pb.SetFloat( "desired_timescale", 0.5 );
pb.SetFloat( "duration_realtime_sec", 1.0 );
pb.SetInt( "interpolator_type", g_InterpType );
pb.SetFloat( "start_blend_time", 0.5 );
EndMessage()
PrintToServer( "******* Interp. type: %i ********", gI_InterpType );
g_InterpType++;
}
On testing it, it seems to work like host_timescale does, and has the same issues with laggines/stuttering that host_timescale does when set on a single client. I was hoping to see if anyone knew what these settings do, and how they affect the timescale. I'm hoping that interpolator_type (or possibly one of the other settings) might be a fix to the stuttering issue, so that's really the focus of the question, from my testing I haven't found any values that make any significant difference and I don't really understand what they do.
If you want to see the what stuttering issue is here's a video showcasing it (only first ~15s):
