And now, we can wait 60 min on LAN for have a big timerbug and make a better time easier.

Good idea.

I think the demo shouldn't be accepted.

First of all you have to think about if a smaller unit than seconds is needed. From my point of view kz has reached a point where it is needed.

I think nearly everyone in this community wants to see the fastest run, I mean this is what these world records are about so thops's decision is comprehensible.

The fight on kzno_xtremeblock between hel^_x and FoF made clear that the time with is displayed on the kz timer is inaccurate and doesn't neccessariely show who's run is faster. This is the reasen why a new method to measure the exact time is obviously needed.

But if you use this new method, ofcourse you have to do it for every demo and not just the "critcal" ones which leads to alot of work but from my point of view this work is neccessary to keep the "high status" of XJ.

If you remain with the old way, ofcourse heL^_x's demo has to be accepted because kz timer says that he was faster (if it's not a timerbug).

P.S.
it does only make sense to measure with fps death if it's sure that this time is 100% accurate.

If hel's demo don't be accepted because of fps deaths,then we should do the same thing on every demo,or it is unfair for hel

i have one question:

the get_gametime() in AMXX = the REAL TIME? or InGame Time? or ...?



// Edit

amxx: get_GameTime() == fps-death: RecordTime



where's heL^_x 0159 DEMO? the average fps is lower than FoF's 99.9948 ?

maybe the FPS can affect the InGameTimer - to make the Timer shows slower.

about that 5 second on fairy island , maybe its the time from "start button" to "first button pushed in the secret chamber "...

Yup. This kind of situations can be measured though with viewdemo timer.

Amen. 100% agree with you.

get_gametime() is bugged, cuz is using only 8byte system unlike glb_time what is probably using 32byte system. =P
