Like in the redsaurus' sp customization mod :) http://jkhub.org/topic/2480-sp-customisation-stuff/

Only you will be able to see it, AFAIK, and it may not work on all servers. Low priority, @redsaurus may want to submit a patch for it

[2:21:48] EpicLoyd: https://github.com/Razish/japp/issues/279 [2:21:57] EpicLoyd: say him that server can send data to client [2:22:57] EpicLoyd: ./lua SendReliableCommand(-1 '0 head_mando 1 head_lando 2 head_kyle') [2:23:10] EpicLoyd: id (head) id (head)

Yes, but the most ideal solution would be one that works without modifying the server, so you'd be forced to pack it in unrelated fields and hope they're still parsed correctly, and it all becomes a mess. I don't like toying with things that break compatibility and/or require a client/server mod to work nicely

Exmirai commented 9 years ago

also we can assign id to heads, and transmit them, using: int userInt1; int userInt2; int userInt3;

Razish commented 9 years ago

Nope, those fields are networked as 1-bit. Changing that forces a client mod

Exmirai commented 9 years ago

so, the only solution is to send through sendreliablecommand?

Razish commented 9 years ago

Yes, or pack it into userinfo fields and hope everything is parsed correctly on different mods. Having a CSF (client support flag) to indicate they support the reliable command is probably the best approach, but as I said it's low on my priority list. It would be good if @redsaurus could submit a patch to actually support the headswapping and I could add the support flag side of things.
