holoScaleUnits accuracy

[evil128]

I'm not actually sure if this is a bug, but I don't know were else i should post it.
I was working with wireholograms yesterday. I was very happy about the new accuracy of holoScaleUnits (scale under 0.4 was possible) when i did the update to the newest version. Now all is back to normal. I would really enjoy if you could try to bring back this accuracy (maybe make it possible to disable it with concmd). I did some testing on my own server and it don't seem to make a huge difference witch version I use (i spawned and scaled about 200 holos on the server and watched the traffic), but it seems like the new .net stuff is better for use with holoModelAny. If you are interested in, i can upload the version I'm talking about.

Thanks for reading,

ps.: Sorry if I'm doing stuff wrong. Just tell me what i did wrong and I'll fix it ^^

Probably easier to use pastebin for that. There doesn't seem to be any changes to the holoScale stuff besides the fact it now uses net library ( unless net lib is rounding to some extent maybe? ). Either way I can't see why you shouldn't be able to scale under 0.4.

its very use full and ill show u screesnshots. its the same e2 in bouth cases.

This is a fine place for such concerns, probably even feature requests, though yes please use pastebin for large pastes.

It would appear net.WriteVector is not as accurate as 3x net.WriteFloat (23 bits of precision vs 32). I would say this is unacceptable for holo scales, so I'll switch over to floats in my next commit. (the umsg system used 32bit floats)

Thanks for your report!

This is how it look from far away:

This is the "new" system with net libeary:

Its 100 holos created with decreasing scale. started at 0.4 (smallest for new system). I think its because the old holograms used double instead of integer. But the results are impressiv tought. With this accuracy u can do amazing stuff like dashboards or gear sets.

Oh i just saw that command :D thanks a lot for changing it back. ;) I hope I'm not the only one who's very happy about this change ^_^

[evil128]

thanks man :3

Hah, funny E2 for showing it off! Thanks for your efforts.
I notice theres also net.WriteDouble, which would double the size/accuracy of all vectors sent to clients (relative to the umsg system and my new commit). Unlikely necessary, we'll see.

[evil128]

No problem. I'm happy if I was able to help. Oh and almost forgot, holoModelAny works fine with the 3x float.

It was the same thing before. It used usermessage vectors, and I had to change to 3 usermessage floats to get the accuracy.
just saying

[evil128]

I know. But i was happy that is was so accurate, and then suddenly BOOM gone ^^ Great idea with the 3 floats btw
