WTH is this:



Those screens were taken on DCC's CTF server shortly before making this post. This is what happens whenever somebody shoots bullets (machine gun, sniper rifle, shotgun). Look at the frame-rate. As far as I can tell, I'm the only one who has this problem, and it only happens on some servers. I'm guessing it's a bad .pk3 or something. Any idea how to locate it? Or otherwise fix the problem? Looks like the bullet trail has been replaced by a particle effect of some kind.

I'm currently using the aug 16th build. This problem appeared before I started using it.

That indeed looks like a bad effectinfo.

If you're using a svn build or the beta, can you post the output of "which effectinfo.txt" in the console?

when I only saw the vid, I was directly thinking about [NFC]Master :p you'll see what I mean with this if you watch this vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzJ78ZmY6e4 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onoSRbtweP8 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsFfWKnZOxk

It's not like PB has been doing this for years already :p

not yet :p

have you made your clan tag by clones on a cheat server? if yes, I'm a faker :p

What do you think!

We excel at clones.




Also, did you make your clan tag out of switches?

ahahaha this thread is amazing

extract effectsinfo.txt to data/scripts from your last valid release pk3 (data****.pk3) and it should override any nonsense from evil pk3's.

Try the "which" trick before, so you can identify the faulty pk3

OMG this is awesome. Where are the configs for this?

Nopes. You just need a broken effectinfo.txt

I love those clones and switches.

What you call broken, I call optimized

I was going to give it a try, but now the problem seems to have cleared up all by itself. Go figure.

But at least I know what to do if something like this pops up again. Thanks.

the slowdown sucks, but it looks amazing..

For a temporary fix:

Remove team_beam.pk3 (something like that) in your dlcache folder.

I have no idea why, but it loads on dcc.

That pk3 is not from DCC. I gues that's from tunichtguten.

Here's the effectinfo from that pk3:

This is 36 times more impressive, because it is 6^2 more difficult to cooperate with six different people, versus just oneself.
