yokomo, what do you mean by optimizing unlimited clip code?

I get a somewhat higher bandwidth usage with this mod, why's that?
Features like custom nightvision, custom flashlight, Nemesis aura, napalm's fire, and zombie bleeding need additional data to be sent to players. Unlimited clip ammo can also be a factor, especially when lots of shooting is going on. To save bandwidth, you can disable some (or all) of them by editing their CVARs.
Is there any other way to reduce bandwidth usage, without having to disable those features?
You can always try lowering your server's update rate (sv_maxupdaterate). This won't have such a noticeable impact on gameplay (like it would in CS), since Zombie-Mods don't need extremely precise shot registration, etc.
For even less bandwidth usage you can also lower tickrate (sys_ticrate). Keep in mind though: the lower the value, the less responsive the game is going to feel.

unlimited clip code on zp43:
PHP Code:
// Current Weapon info
public message_cur_weapon(msg_id, msg_dest, msg_entity)
{
// Not alive or zombie
if (!g_isalive[msg_entity] || g_zombie[msg_entity])
return;
// Not an active weapon
if (get_msg_arg_int(1) != 1)
return;
// Unlimited clip disabled for class
if (g_survivor[msg_entity] ? get_pcvar_num(cvar_survinfammo) <= 1 : get_pcvar_num(cvar_infammo) <= 1)
return;
// Get weapon's id
static weapon
weapon = get_msg_arg_int(2)
// Unlimited Clip Ammo for this weapon?
if (MAXBPAMMO[weapon] > 2)
{
// Max out clip ammo
static weapon_ent
weapon_ent = fm_cs_get_current_weapon_ent(msg_entity)
if (pev_valid(weapon_ent)) cs_set_weapon_ammo(weapon_ent, MAXCLIP[weapon])
// HUD should show full clip all the time
set_msg_arg_int(3, get_msg_argtype(3), MAXCLIP[weapon])
}
}
It use CurWeapon message. Last time on my zp server, i completely delete this code and manually give unlimited clip too survivor.
My method:
In humanme function, go to:
PHP Code:
// Set human attributes based on the mode
if (survivor)
{
// Survivor
g_survivor[id] = true
// Set Health [0 = auto]
if (get_pcvar_num(cvar_survhp) == 0)
{
if (get_pcvar_num(cvar_survbasehp) == 0)
fm_set_user_health(id, get_pcvar_num(cvar_humanhp) * fnGetAlive())
else
fm_set_user_health(id, get_pcvar_num(cvar_survbasehp) * fnGetAlive())
}
else
fm_set_user_health(id, get_pcvar_num(cvar_survhp))
// Set gravity, if frozen set the restore gravity value instead
if (!g_frozen[id]) set_pev(id, pev_gravity, get_pcvar_float(cvar_survgravity))
else g_frozen_gravity[id] = get_pcvar_float(cvar_survgravity)
// Set survivor maxspeed
ExecuteHamB(Ham_Player_ResetMaxSpeed, id)
// Give survivor his own weapon
static survweapon[32]
get_pcvar_string(cvar_survweapon, survweapon, charsmax(survweapon))
//fm_give_item(id, survweapon)
//ExecuteHamB(Ham_GiveAmmo, id, MAXBPAMMO[cs_weapon_name_to_id(survweapon)], AMMOTYPE[cs_weapon_name_to_id(survweapon)], MAXBPAMMO[cs_weapon_name_to_id(survweapon)])
new wpn = give_item(id, survweapon)
if(wpn != -1)
{
cs_set_weapon_ammo(wpn, 32767) //32767 is enough, speedhacker also can't spam too much.
cs_set_user_bpammo(id, cs_weapon_name_to_id(survweapon), 0) //prevent reload.
}
// Turn off his flashlight
turn_off_flashlight(id)
// Give the survivor a bright light
if (get_pcvar_num(cvar_survaura)) set_pev(id, pev_effects, pev(id, pev_effects) | EF_BRIGHTLIGHT)
// Survivor bots will also need nightvision to see in the dark
if (g_isbot[id])
{
g_nvision[id] = true
cs_set_user_nvg(id, 1)
}
}
On round end you need to strip weapon from survivor. You need to ignore current clip ammo in hud, it can't show more than 128 clip, so it will -- and ++ and cap at 128.
