ok...so i realise that the unreal engine is an object oriented system...and its constantly updating the objects for new stats and such (at least this is what i got out of that confusing undox crap) and theres an option thats called bTickalways or some curd like that, an i reffered to tha undox an it said something like, it sets the interval for object update (if im wrong, wateva, i havent looked at that damn thing since last month, so im goin offa memory) so, technically, could one not turn that OFF for all the objects in the map, and sufficently reduce lag? i mean the packet size sent out every second to every player would be reduced if it had no object updates...i dunno man, this is just somethin i came up with ona drive home from work, so ya...
the other thing is, your grappling hook thing... ok, have u ever played any of the "Thief" games? well, theres a bow and arrow thing that shoots, then produces a CLIMBABLE ROPE when the arrow hits and sticks into wood.....isn't this a do-able mod? i mean, u already got all the animations and abilities to make it happen, combine a climbable rope with the VasGVEcrossbow, and u gots urself an instant rope to climb...

That's a pretty cool theory there man,
I wonder if all Actors are btickalways true. I would think that the dudes at HumanHead would have only made important stuff tick. but it is worth checking, I will do at some point
I never really noticed it, but it is an important variable, if something is "ticking" or not.
On rope climbing, I think you are a bit vunerable when climbing a rope(I guess that why they made ropes bnet false), too easy for someone to lob a workhammer at ya.
KalKorps has recently made their own Udox thang to look at code, so it is easy to check out Vas code for weaps and mutes etc..
You ever do any codin' Ne0?
keep that brain 'o' yours btickalways true man, be good if a lag reduction mod could be made
L3p

if you turned btickalways off though, wouldn't that stop things like getting weapons from happening, cause you hafta "update" your character saying that is now has yada yada weapon, or even if its moving doesn't it needed to be updated, say that it was at yada yada location, so wouldn't that just like disable everything?
