Source Hitboxes(CS:S,DOD:S)

[^Ben]

Heres some videos I made about the issue of the KAR and the hitboxes.

My conclusion, learn how to aim.

This was made when hating on CSS hitboxes was all the rage, I also explain how the tickrate system works, and how bots are represented server side.

This is my newest creation, it shows DOD and the KAR, as you can see when I aim and actually shoot at the player model it will register a hit.

I try shooting the 'server side hit box representation' and of course it dosent register a hit.

I hit the player in the chest and score a kill.

So please, stop complaining about the hitboxes and learn how to adjust to the new recoil/accuracy changes.

Take out the - it gets the swear word filter going funny.



Thanks for your time.

P.S. net-fakelag 150 was used to simulate a ping of 150, that's why in the 4th clip in theres a short delay between the shot registering and the headshot(it's made to look worse by me actually having slowed down the time too %20 of normal)

Very well done work Ben, although despite that, when i play CS Source (i'm one of those with hitbox problems) if i'm using a scout for example, so we can take recoil out the frame, if i shoot on top of the character models head, it will not register, nor any gun. Your video shows they work, well i'm happy for you that they work, but on my end they really don't. I'm not trying to have a go at valve, i really would love to be able to play those games, but it's impossible for me. I don't understand it either, and i'm past caring now

You have to play on a good server, if you play on a nice server(a low ping is not enough) then your issues will dissapear.

I keep my server filters set on europe and always pick servers with 20-30 pings by them. I used to play CS 1.6 for a very long time, playing scoutzknivez only really, so scouting and aiming precisely is the only thing i've focused on, so i know when i hit a target (well think i do). I've tried various configs, although you said the default settings are fine. Nothing works, and it makes me a sad panda. I heard most servers run on a 33 ticrate, whereas they should be on 66 for proper performance, but they are hard to find. Due to these problems, i havent purchased DOD Source to avoid disappointment. Now people are reporting it too, it seems a good call?

It seems each computer is different regarding this, so theres always going to be complaints and other people saying 'what you talking about?' because you don't know what its like

Hectic it might seem that you also have the wrong rate settings for the server. Clans and the like usually tell you proper rates and such to use on their servers for best performance, but I haven't seen many around. So I'd ask the server admins (if it's a clan server) what your rates should be for their server and they should tell you some decent ones.

But experimentation yourself is good.

Thanks for that, I saw the other video and was left thinking there was a problem with the game.
