[quote author=Ladna link=topic=622.msg6364#msg6364 date=1330815348]<br />Hitscans: Fire the SSG, wait a while, the puffs appear (in ZDaemon, ST &amp; EE it&#039;s instant).<br />[/quote]<br /><br />You would rather have fake, clientsided puffs (What ZDaemon&#039;s bulletpuffs are) than true puffs? I&#039;d much rather know where my shot actually went instead of being played a trick of the eye to think that my shots would register instantaneously. I would not understand why anyone would prefer a fake set of puffs when the real shot hasn&#039;t even been registered by the server at the time they appear on your screen.<br /><br />Many other things in your posts are entirely subjective and it&#039;s clear at this point that back-and-forth banter would serve no purpose other than to fill up a couple pages consisting of two men yielding no inches. I won&#039;t respond to them, but keep in mind that a great many things are not certain in the IDL&#039;s near future, the least of which is its direction which would and should be determined by the community. That alone will cascade to other decisions. For example any mid-2012 map shakeups that while improbable, is not outside the realm of possibility by any shot.<br /><br />I have made my own stance as a player on which direction I would prefer. 0.6 has me interested and I am certainly no longer interested in playing on a port that from what I&#039;ve seen in Odamex&#039; development builds, will become mechanically inferior quickly. I will not and can not speak for other players&#039; preference. I do think it&#039;s rude and disrespectful to suggest that players would not come together to make the push and changes to IDL resources necessary if they were on board with the concept.<br /><br />The most important thing to know at this point what would happen to the IDL website, should the change be made to Odamex. This is something you should address in the midst of all this talk, so the community knows where the chief administrator of idl.org stands.
