Question regarding modelscale in Multiplayer

[archornf]

Hi,

A question:
is it possible to change the scale of models in multiplayer? I of course only want to change it on my local setup. Is there any somewhat easy fix for it? I've searched earlier issues and checked the code in NPC_stats but couldn't really get it to work.

Thanks!

Hi,
It is possible to change the scale of models in multiplayer, however it requires the code to be changed in several places including:

A cvar for the player's scale should be added
The scale needs to be applied on all clients connected to the server should be synchronized if changed during play
The collision checking code needs to be changed to take the scale into effect
The lightsaber models should be scaled with the player model
The player's speed should be scaled with the model size
Custom Bot scales can be hard coded or added to a PK3 file which requires changing the code

I have implemented these changes and others in my own version of the game. I could share these changes with the community if anyone is interested, but it has been a while since i made the changes, so I would have to go back through all the modified files and find what I changed, which could take me a while.
