Client side jerking (dev version)

Client side jerking is a real pain when trying to seal off lava flows before they finish killing you. And it's not really much use other times either. Is there any chance an option to disable it will be added? Like client side particles, it's nice for many people, but I'm sure I'm not the only person who wants to turn it off.

Thanks for your consideration.

I don't see an option to turn the jerking off. I see other things, but not character damage jerking.

Rubberbanding. Its when you go too fast and the server moves you back some distance due to server latency.

I think he means the cammera tilt when you get damaged, if so then if you have the ability to compile:

Find this around line 2119 in src/game.cpp:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all: else if(event.type == CE_PLAYER_DAMAGE && client.getHP() != 0)

Then just below replace

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all: player->hurt_tilt_timer = 1.5; player->hurt_tilt_strength = event.player_damage.amount/2; player->hurt_tilt_strength = rangelim(player->hurt_tilt_strength, 2.0, 10.0);

with

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all: //player->hurt_tilt_timer = 1.5; //player->hurt_tilt_strength = event.player_damage.amount/2; //player->hurt_tilt_strength = rangelim(player->hurt_tilt_strength, 2.0, 10.0);

There are also a few lines above it if you want to disable the red damage flash.

And for view bobbing:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all: view_bobbing_amount = 0.0

in minetest.conf.

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all: view_bobbing = 0

fully disables first person model animation, not just view bobbing.

No, that's not what I mean at all.

Yes, that's what I mean. Thank you!

The red flash isn't so devastating, but the jerking camera makes it highly difficult to plug lava holes.

I don't understand what that second setting is for, but that first one stopped the jerking. Although it also stopped the red flash, so I'll need to watch my hearts more closely when not in lava. Thanks!

At first, that conf setting seemed to work, but now it doesn't. It looks like recompiling is the only option. I'll try to add some code to my automatic download/compile script, but it would be nice if this could be disabled with a setting.
