Topic: [SOLVED] Problems with hooking

Hello everyone,

Recently I'm having some sort of weird problem when playing teeworlds.
As the title suggests, it has something to do with the hook.
Whenever I try to hook an edge or a tee, it doesn't quite grab and mostly misses.
You could say that out of 3 times, it misses at least once.

Furthermore it looks like the hook doesn't reach its full length and hence doesn't hit.
It appears as if it was  some kind of lag.
I'm not really sure, though, since I'm not having any other sort of lag and my ping is constantly good around 30-50.
So what could I do to fix the problem? It's not really the most annoying bug, but it can get bothersome sometimes.
People told me to wait, but it's not getting any better...

P.S.: I hope this bug hasn't been reported before. I used the search function and I found nothing similar.

Thanks in advance

Re: [SOLVED] Problems with hooking

Ping doesn't say all informations about ur internet connectivity. I had a similar problems with my old ISP with an high packetloss. My ping was 20-30 but with many packet loss the result was the same to have an high ping.
Check it with some online tools (speedtest).
Other thing, try the same on a local server (just start teeworlds_srv and join the server from the lan tab) and check the problem adding a dummy or joining with 2 client. If you still get the problem it's a bug, if not it's fault of your adsl. If you can, demorec it and post here the demo so all can see the problem.

Re: [SOLVED] Problems with hooking

Seems like Mic has seen through my disguise. No, seriously.

I noticed that I tend to have it on certain servers more regularily. Like for example, i barely have it on the Gv Ctf 5, but almost always while playing on [xyz].
Note: This problem has just recently popped up.

Thanks for your help, Lanta. I've done a speedtest before, i got Grade A.
And how do I join a local server? I always seem to join someone else's lan and i don't know how to add dummys.

I'll try to demorec it. But when I do so, the recorded video only shows a segment of the whole screen. what to do?

Re: [SOLVED] Problems with hooking

For the LAN server follow this tutorial (sv_register 0)
http://www.teeworlds.com/?page=docs& … gUpAServer
Then open your client and join localhost. You will find your server into the LAN tab.

Re: [SOLVED] Problems with hooking

This is called "lag" and happens when the connection between you and the server is poor. You can lag even with good ping because of the packet loss. You have nothing to do with this, just join another server.

Re: [SOLVED] Problems with hooking

Thanks for the help everyone.

I noticed that this problem has nothing to do with my internet connection or teeworlds at all.
It is indeed the fault of my five year old mouse. The right mouse button won't respond unless I click really heavily.

Oh well
