orappa Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 I've just seen an article on NewScientist describing how a scientist has discovered how to create "bullet time" slow motion on one person's screen whilst making everything normal on the affected player's screen. I wondered if this would be possible with Blue in order to allow syncing of GTA's slow-mo pills (incidentally, does SA have these?) http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn7703
Slothman Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 it sounds like they are talking about lagging and slowing someone down for a second, then speeding them up to catch up. if you want bullet time in mta, get a crappy vid card
Kent747 Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 not likely though our netcode will be able to be manipulated by addon devs, so its up to them if they want to try it..
darkdreamingdan Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 but wont this method not work in LAN, when there is virtually no lag?
orappa Posted July 23, 2005 Author Posted July 23, 2005 In locally networked games, time delays can be as much as 10 milliseconds, while transatlantic games suffer a latency of around 60 milliseconds. However, the use of LPFs means players do not notice any time lag because events are ever so slightly slowed down until the game catches up with itself.
njr1489 Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 Could this help with making a game like max payne online?
orappa Posted July 23, 2005 Author Posted July 23, 2005 Could this help with making a game like max payne online? I think so, but I'd appreciate it if someone could explain the concept in non-technical terms because I'm not certain if I understand it correctly.
Kent747 Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 basically, it turns off prediction and makes it play like MTA currently does , then turns prediction back on when bullet time is over, add some smoothing and it looks like they go really fast, though to the other guy they are going normal speed.

Ransom Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 it sounds like they are talking about lagging and slowing someone down for a second, then speeding them up to catch up. if you want bullet time in mta, get a crappy vid card Yep basically.. like the person going average speed is gonna be in a firefight shooting like hell but the other guys gonna have bullet time lag
EthanJP Posted August 13, 2005 Posted August 13, 2005 Omg it took them a scientist to figure that out Not really rocket science (screw that its not science at all)
Noobi3 Posted September 8, 2005 Posted September 8, 2005 Heres is my idea with no one lagging: When someone is using bullet time on their screen and you see them going normal speed: ok the guy who isnt using bullettime shoots him and the guy whos using bullettime, his game remembers what the opponent did and he will get shot IF the opponent shot him. the only problem is that since the BT user is going slow,the first one who will find out if the BT user died is the guy who kills the BT user and the BT user will appear hes dead a little after since his game is going slow..... He will catch up to normal speed when he respawns
