Game Input Delay

Unlike the original Emulinker, EmulinkerSF allows users to play on different delays or the same delay.  The server

default is different delays.  If Player 1 has a ping of 33 on a Excellent Connection and Player 2 has a ping of 67 on

a Excellent Connection, Player 1 will play at 1 (3 frame delay) and Player 2 will play at a 3 (7 frame delay). 

 

If you or your opponent want to play on the same delay, the owner can toggle between delay modes with the

command: “/samedelay true” to play with the same delay and “/samedelay false” to play with different delays.  If the

owner chooses to play with the same delay, both opponents will be playing with the delay of the user with the worst

ping.  So in my example above, both players would be playing on 3 (7 frame delay).

 

Obviously if both you and your opponent fall in the same ping range, you have nothing to worry about.

Hacker Prevention

  1. Username Forging (change username while logged in)
  2. Server Hammering (hogs up all ports)
  3. Username Length > 31 (crashes all traditional kaillera clients)
  4. Gamename Length >128 (crashes all traditional kaillera clients)
  5. PM Length > 320 (crashes all traditional kaillera clients)
  6. Gameroom Join Spamming
  7. Username Duplication

 

Server Fixes

  1. Input Ghosting (buttons seem to press on their own)
  2. White Screen Login (about 95% better)
  3. Casting Error when gameID becomes larger than 0x7FFF (crashes server)
  4. Connection break when server get last message ID 0xFFFF from client
  5. Unlikely but possible connection break due of loss or disorder packets
