adjusting in tron

Grinding has never been watching rubber for me... too unreliable, especially when I'm playing on US servers. Actually I almost never watch that thing. Guessing (and taking into account lag) works much better.

It's not that realiable in laggy servers indeed...

The AI can't really handle it...

Oh yes. Some of them rely on callbacks from the rubber code to grind as closely as possible. And these callbacks come too late with these settings. With a small arena, the AIs won't even do anything and simply crash into the opposite rim wall or whatever comes earlier.
I'll add it as a bug, but ignore it as long as it's unclear whether these settings are useful in practice for PvP combat.

OT: What did you tweak? The antialiased lines on top of the trails?

- Lowered low-res text threshold.
- Didn't force the console to the low-res font.
- Yes, I changed the drawing order of walls and lines.
- Changed the floor textures to be 'centered', ie mipmaps are blurrier but the lines don't blur to one side.
- Multitextured floor rendering.
- The FPS display revamped although you probably didn't see it (the framerate on the screenshot was during a short dip btw

)
- A lot of stuff not on the screenshot.

this might spawn into a server specially made for 2.7.0 purists.

the game has lost quite a bit of the fun and challenge... for the most part everyone plays exactly the same, which beyond being annoying, is extremely boring....

maybe this was the debate back when dbing was becoming popular, but they arent the same to me... dbing facilitates a persons style of play while this new rubber handling, as a result all the 180ing, forces everyone into the same style...

i almost feel like some oldie oldster talking about the good ole days... but they really were...
