Summary0002617: ACS loop problem in 3.0
DescriptionI'm not exactly sure what the problem is, but one of my mods takes place from a third-person perspective. Recently I've tried running the mod on Zandronum 3.0 to debug it for the newer build. I've not found any problems, except for one that heavily conflicts with the core of this mod. The mod uses an entirely client-sided script to give the player his own camera that follows him behind around the map, much like Zdoom's chasecam. This is the only way to enforce a third-person camera in Zandronum. I thought it worked fine, but in 3.0 the camera updates very slow and is very choppy. Where as in Zandronum 2.1 the camera is smooth and updating consistantly. The script is a while loop that updates every tic. This has not been tested online.

 This bug can be reproduced on GZDoom 1.8.6. My apologies, I should've posted that in the description.

 Can you reproduce this with latest gzdoom build from here? You can test either the '1.8.10' series or the '2.1.pre' ones.

 [Not a bug].

It seems you should try using Warp instead in order to achieve the same smoothness as before.

 Just tested this on Zandronum 3.0, it seems the Warp function is not implemented. This may cause compatibility problems for any mod using a similar solution for the camera (arkdoom for example) where the camera will have extreme choppiness due to the camera only updating in a 35 fps window. SetActorPosition no longer has interpolation while Warp does. In the current build of GZDoom Zandronum is based from Warp is not availible, leaving no resolution to this problem.

 Ticket 0003028 is also a request to backport ACS Warp. Not sure how useful it is but we do have the DECORATE version in 3.0 already.

 So you can work around this in MM8BDM with DECORATE?

 I believe the mod(s) they're talking about are unrelated to 8bdm and we have (8bdm ) no need for the ACS Warp function (yet?)

 I see, thanks for clarifying.

 The implementation of the Warp ACS function unfortunately is spread over many commits in ZDoom, so backporting it fully is not really feasible. Would the version from GLOOME (with the function number from ZDoom) be sufficient, i.e.'https://bitbucket.org/Torr_Samaho/zandronum-zdoom-sync/commits/afabdc83c31e2eee44bb354cd1ba56f1596fbd42 [^]' ?

 Tested this with the latest build and to my eyes it still looks choppy when compared to 2.1.2.

 The behavior of the example wad will not change. ZDoom removed the interpolation from SetActorPosition, that's why camera.pk3 is choppy. I just supplied GLOOME's ACS Warp variant to give mod authors a ZDoom compatible way to fix the choppy movement by adjusting their mod to ZDoom's change.

 Ah I see. Well based on Sean's findings in 3028 regarding warp, I'll mark this as fixed.
