Torpedo removal from screen on the normal packets is handled in either of two ways: 1. for torpedos that don't hit anything and are not self-det'd, the status is set to TFREE and included in an SP_TORP_INFO packet, 2. for torpedos that explode by det or hitting ships, the status is to to TEXPLODE in an SP_TORP_INFO packet, but the TFREE is never seen, and the client is required to time it. I suspect this might be a bug. I wonder if it relates to Michael's observations. > Can we increase the full updates now that there is no longer a > load issue with modern equipment, or possibly even make them > automatic for clients every 10 seconds? We should better understand the cause. Requesting updates is just a hack. Can he provide a recording? -- James Cameron mailto:quozl at us.netrek.org http://quozl.netrek.org/
