Lag Simulator and Lag compensation

[★ doc flabby]

I've created a program in VB to simulate LAG and packetloss, as well a couple of techniques to try and mitigate them both.

 

So far I've added extrapolation, as you can see its not a complete solution. If a sudden change of direction occurs it struggles. In subspace the client knows exactly where all collisions will occur, so no sudden unpredictable change in direction are possible.

 

I need to work out how to interpolate corrections in a good way (like subspace does) but hopefully this is a start.

 

Controls WASD and E = unpredictable change of direction

This is a very cool program! Now I can show people what it feels like to play on satellite (1500ms to 3000ms latency).

Ooh i just found something much better http://www.mindcontrol.org/~hplus/epic/

I don't get it. How do those lag simulators simulate the retarded whining used by players after I pwn them? All I see is mature math and graphs and stuff. Edited October 31, 2009 by Aileron
