Tried that, its an interesting feature, little note tho, if you set an higher level of bobbing you can start having wierd collisions with walls, enabling some sort of "looking through" the walls. So i guess there would need to be a check on that value to be equal or not higher than what you want it to be.

I'm sure Jonny could add a slider to Assist. Personally, I think 0 to 0.5 is more range than anyone could want. I like 0.08 personally.

You guys probably know what I'm talking about. Most all modern games have the weapon bobbing when you walk or run. AA doesn't seem to have this though, or does it? Skrewy got me poking around in the User.ini and look what I found:

[Engine.Pawn]
Bob=0.080000
bWeaponBob=true

Those are my settings, default is bWeaponBob=false. Check it out, I don't think there's any CVAR's for it. If there are, they're pointless. I think it's just a visual thing that doesn't have any advantage/disadvantage.

*EDIT*
This works offline and online. 0.08 is a pretty good value IMO. There's also no Punkbuster checks for it either. Can you enable this in Assist Jonny? Also, if you enable this, there's no need for mAAp TeamView. This is one of the features I wanted in TeamView that didn't get finalized.

Time for you to catch up

In the code you'll see:

if(bChanged)
   {
      NextNetUpdateTime = Level.TimeSeconds + MaxNetUpdateInterval;
      KRepState = KState;
      StateCount++;
   }

Which basically says, if the KActor has moved, update it on the client. I tried to add the respawn it in so that if a round ended, just respawn instead of updating on the client. It only worked part of the time so I reverted back to a tick timer of checking if a round is going every 10 seconds. The majority of bandwidth seems to be used while the KActor is moving. Seeing a drop in bandwidth usage while nothing is happening is quite promising.

After re-reading GoodKarma's code, I found it actually had respawn code in it. I trimmed it down to a few Karma variables and of course location & rotation. Got that combined with a if(!Level.Game.IsInState('MatchInProgress')) check every 5 seconds and respawning Karma objects are mine!

Credit for the timer and "MatchInProgress" goes to here:

Here's the server log of it working online, you can pretty much follow what's going on. I can disable the debug logs for a final release but it works

Looks like objects can respawn to their original location... I just need to find out how to get them to respawn at the end of the round.

Yeti doesn't have report-in locations? I see a bunch of volumes with comm locations but they're not AGP commvolumes so they may not work...

In defense of the devs, F is closer to the left hand when playing with a keyboard and mouse. J you have to move one hand off of the major controls. P is easy to remember for pistol. You gotta remember too that the key config stayed unchanged probably from at least AA v2.0 which is easily 8 years old. Games were different back then.
