player death animations affected by fps #352

Closed crustypig closed 2 months ago

crustypig commented 11 years ago

When using fps values above 100, the player death animation can sometimes leave behind a ghost of the player model which floats in the air. At 400fps for example, every time I am killed my corpse is floating in the air. Note: It obviously doesn't occur when a player is gibbed, but when shot with a shotgun or 9mmAR for example.

It seems the death animation isn't executed properly at high values of fps. In this picture you can see the effect.

do not use fps value more than 100 fps

crustypig commented 11 years ago

I use 100fps, but other players don't, and its a controversial subject within our community to limit fps - some servers are limited to 125fps but this bug still occurs at this value. If this bug cannot be fixed, it would be nice if we had a cvar which disabled corpses then this wouldn't be such an issue

This was resolved for Half-Life Deathmatch in the 25th Anniversary update (November / December 2023 Steam build). The issue may still be present in other mods.

The relevant changes are in dll\player.cpp, changing m_iRespawnFrames to m_flRespawnTimer.
