PURELY out of curiosity...

[TheJamsh]

no real reason, i just want to know.

what information is actually sent to other peoples computers when playing multi in BZ2?

[General BlackDragon]

your soul 

but really, probably: your position, your directoin, what weapons you have, what your targeting, what your shooting, you know, all the same info the AI gets in IA/MPI. 

Basically: Every single thing players are doing, and everything all other objects are/what they're doing.

Considering BZ2 uses the Dead Reckoning style network synchronization (everyone runs a full copy of the world, inefficient and unsafe, but easy to implement).  Hence I would wager it sends across Player movement changes (current position would be sent every so often, probably once a second, but changes in input are sent instantly, things like turning, accelerating, etc..), commands the player does to order things around (but the movement of those units would not be synced, only the order itself), and so forth.  It would also send a hash check of the world and if the hash gets too wrong then it causes the whole world to transfer from the server to the clients to ensure everything is synced (a gamestate in BZ2 terms).  Is there something specific you are wondering about?

actually while i was writing my question i sort of figured it out myself haha...

i just think its amazing when you really look at just how much is being sent in such a short space of time. very cool.

[General BlackDragon]

it's all 1's and 0's.

BTW, If god spoke in binary, and accidently said a 2, what would happen?

[OvermindDL1]

Then it would become a 10 (since 10 in binary is 2 ).

OM, You scare me with your infinite knowledge of everything.

[OvermindDL1]

No where near.  I am just a trivia hunter, I know a little bit about everything, and everything about nothing.

I'm similar but I know less than OM by a lot.

Well, there are only 10 types of people in the world...

Those that understand Binary, and those that don't.

[bigbadbogie]

That is '2' kinds of funny!

"LOL" you say?

Leet:  L()L
ROT13:  YBY
Base64:  TE9M
Hex:  4c 4f 4c
Binary:  01001100 01001111 01001100
Morse:  .-.. --- .-..
etc...

Gotta love Firefox and its plugins...
