Ive been playing for a couple of months and mostly i have enjoyed the community here and the game itself :)
but i have heard alot of people on here and in game get in a fuss over server/client side hit defection i can vaguely understand it but would on of u nice fellas care to be a good ol' boy and explain it to me please?:)

first, you need to learn how to put posts like this in the help section (its to late now so you can't only admins can, and I'm not an admin) other then that I don't know so yeah.

i do apologise buddy :) i just assumed it was more to do with gameplay

is ok my friend (never met you before in my life)

i hope i aint appearing over familier i just use buddy in that way to be polite and show some respect to folks

Sever-side hit detection: The hit detection is based off of the server, so if you lag up and see everybody standing still, and you shoot them, they won't die because they really aren't there, even if your computer thought they were.

Client-side hit detection: The hit detection is based off of the clients (players). If you lag up, and shoot somebody who is standing still, they will die because your computer thought they were there.

i thank you reverend
much appreciated buddy :)

No problem. The Server-side hit detection is much better (In theory), as some dude who's lagging can't shoot you in a spot if you aren't there. Some people have complained about this making some guys harder to kill, but it's simply the complaining player's lag that's the problem.

aye that sounds about right, i must say it boggled my mind when i shot a guy and he walked right by me in one of my first games but then 10 paces later he keels over dead, a strange sight for a newbie deuce :)

does anyone know the online server made by the minecraft server (The Voxel Box)?

Why are you posting it here? Sorry, but that caught me a tad off guard.
