[BUG-18293] Client side movement

[sl-service-account]

How would you like the feature to work?

allow client side movement

right now seems like this:

client send permission for movement point and starts to move
server send his permission answer back
client handle answer and interpolate based on ping/velocity
client can interpolate to the desired point or back to origin point if fails
note: this system fails if there is lag, client can walk infinitely or teleport back

my request is that the client only send position and not wait to interpolate with the server. meaning if the client stop walking it will stop and send its stop position to the server not interpolating with delayed check point like mostly mmo out there

you can move and stop freely based on physic ground but the others may see you pop out here and there constantly server update may fix the delay or something

Why is this feature important to you? How would it benefit the community?

take a look at the Live Demo and check the Prediction checkbox that is what second life movement looks like =( the green ball goes forth and back, forth and back

I've wanted the ability to individually enabled/disable client-side updating and interpolation of positioning, rotating and scaling on individual links for HUD games for years. I've also wanted the ability to enable/disable orthographic rendering of individual HUD objects, sprite and sprite field capability for just as long.

Aside from the 45 FPS, Secondlife is a horrible environment to try to make games in with server side update dependancy.

I'd had hoped that Sansar, with its high frame rate would be better, but even then I bet it will also be server-side update dependent and I doubt Linden Lab will give us Unity level tools out of the gate.
