wtf

antiping on

00:06

the antiping solution works if im solo with no external factor but its very unplayable with any factor that comes in from players or map so i cant use it multiplayer

00:08

so i want the fallback to not be brain fucking me with the hook looking like its aimbotting and being very rigid rather than what vanilla client has it as just fluid even if misalligned

You prefer the laggy unplayable version instead of the smooth antiping one lulwhat

lulwhat

350 ping antiping sucks

01:58

not smooth at all

The video looks smooth to me

not with other players

did GER1 Change location when GER3 was introduced, Because i previously had the lowest ping on GER1, and higher on GER2. Now the lowest ping i get ~Around 40 is only on GER3

02:32

?

@Inaba you can't really do compensate high ping completely when other players are involved. antiping is your best bet. if the game is unplayable with antiping, it's even more unplayable without it. try finding a server with lower ping to you

Uh, I think I agree with @Inaba here, I much prefer to play without antiping and adjust to the ping. I may not play at 350 ping, but I used to play with 120 back in turkey and it's actually quite possible to get used to playing at that ping. As you said at high ping there really is no way to compensate so might aswell keep the fluidity, especially with other players involved

I actually played on korea servers recently

07:13

nice ~300 ping

07:13

player interaction was horrible. but antiping was still a godsend

07:14

you could actually catch people etc.

07:14

I think turning on antiping is still a good idea at low pings; it makes the catching/throwing experience the same no matter if you have 20ping or 80ping

07:14

(and you can aim at the tee for catching ^^)

i play on china fng sometimes with 280 ping and i think antiping helps a lot

catching is fine because the other person isnt moving

07:19

i guess same with fng after you shoot them

yes. but if the other person moves, you're out of luck anyway

i wouldnt say out of luck, it still does help

07:20

just cant help as much as if they werent moving

and antiping helps you with the no-input case

they both suck but it just looks worse with antiping

it looks worse on high pings IMO

07:23

but on all pings it really helps with consistent gameplay

it looks rly jumpy at high ping but its still easier to play with

easier on fng

but fng as a whole is easier than ddrace

07:24

so idk if its fair to compare

where can i recolor the laser thing?

is there a way to save the automatic demo without crossing the flag of a map

10:30

the ''save the best demo of each race''

@deen where do i write the skinname? i dont get that new system. i have cl_download skins 1 but it never downloads the new skins i see

Top left where it says "tauriel"

it downloads the skins while your client is running, but they are ignored after you restart it again (to speed up startup time)

aaah

Is there a way they don't get ignored @deen ?

15:21

Without downloading and putting them in file

only by manually moving them from downloadedskins to skins

teepopcry

You could write a script that detects files in downloadedskins and moves them to skins YEP

thank you for the messages regarding my antiping problem. it makes sense its the best solution for most players as it makes the game play more like youre used to on low ping. for my ive played my whole life with 300+ ping as im from australia, no playerbase here or proper server so it is the opposite effect of becoming jarring rather than something im used to like Learath2 said. and the annoying problem is the base engine of ddnet seems to work differently to original client and most other clients as a matter of fact of already compensating lag protection so even with it off its a very very different feel to how ive played for 7 years

if u want laggs do cl_predict 0 xd

17:58

about the video from you: DDNet prediction code(even without antiping) is probs a bit "better" and thats why it looks visually better, even if i understand that it looks like an aimbot for a moment

1

yeah for sure its better just not something that lines up to my veteran experience with how i would expect to see or feel tees movement as

in the latest vanilla client this has been changed, and the hook now looks the same as in ddnet. I see what you mean with the "aimbot", though. the problem is that your own tee is predicted, while others arent, so the transition when you hook on to someone has to be unsmooth in one way or another (or it can be delayed, like before, but then there is not really any "right" place to show the hook) (edited)

Me and my Romanian friends have a higher ping on GER1 since the start of GER3 server. We had around 45-50 and now we have 65+ even tho we are 200 kms apart and have internet from different ISPs. Ger3 is smooth like Ger1 was.... Why is this happenning?

@Mikey. because we actually bought a new GER1 server, and the old one was renamed to GER3

23:02

(I wanted to cancel it but hoster didn't allow that)

@deen so this is exactly what i thought.

I hope you manage to cancel it somehow. or just swap the names again so everyone plays on the old one.

well, the one I wanted to cancel is the one you had lower ping on

wait what, you wanted to cancel theo ld one

23:06

oh

23:06

well shiiit

#rip my Ping

How is it on GER2 btw?

Same as current GER1, i've been avoiding GER2 for a long time because for me ger2 always felt laggy and i had frequent lag spikes on there (While on the old GER1 it was ok and rarely experienced any lag spikes apart from the usual ddos xD)

23:13

I haven't played enough on the new server to see if this is better than GER2 but it's obvious it's worse than old GER1 xD
