Serverside showimg limit?

JkWhoSaysNi · #1 02-08-2007, 07:07 PM

I'm using showimg as part of a weapon NPC effect, i want everyone to see the effect so i'm using indexes less than 200, however, only about 10 (of 20) of the showimgs are showing.

Is there a limit on how many serverside images a client can display?

I don't think so. How're you displaying them? Inside a loop?

Yeah, inside a loop and a timeout, each one is further away from the player. I'm only seeing about half of them.

Hmm, I'm not sure that is is the problem any more, i think it's just updating too fast to be visible to everyone.

Players are only allowed to display a maximum of 128x128 pixels on the screen of other players using showimgs, this is to prevent hackers/abusers from completely hiding the screen of other players.

Ah, that would explain why only half of the images get displayed serverside

Does the same restriction apply to showanis?

It would be nice if you could somehow make this an adjustable option, in server ops or for each npc on the serverside.

put the clientside script in a gani file and set an player.attr[x], eg player.attr[13] = "yourganifile.gani"

assign all the variables that change how it functions to other players eyes to attrs as well
