Rabbit fast time limit problem?

[sam686]

Time limit go twice as fast. Does this happen on all Rabbit maps? Does this happen on all servers?

You can join/host a server and start rabbit map. Watch the time limit, after every 15 seconds, it skips, making the timer go twice as fast. Rabbit game ends twice as fast.

never noticed...seems to happen on all my rabbit maps. also present in the two rabbit videos I capture during the BBB.

The server keeps track of time and periodically sends an update to the client that keeps it's own counter, which is used to update the display.

So probably the server is getting confused, and the skips occur when a message comes in from the server with an updated time.

The game timer is called mGameTimer; it is only updated in two places (mGameTimer.update()), once on the client, and once on the server. So it can't be happening.

And yet... it is.

A mystery for tomorrow.

This double speed time limit problem is now fixed on my server.

Hey Sam, you're making me look bad!!! You find and fix bugs at about triple the speed I do!!!!

Your fix looks good, and we'll include it in the real 013f release.
