UI stuff and frametime

[Nahuel]

Well, i need to animate smoothly UI stuff in darkplaces, and i am using frametime. I know that can cause problems and Spike suggest use cltime + clframetime for that (instead frametime and time), the problem is: i dont find cltime or clframetime extensions in darkplaces defs. Is there any way to recreate these extensions using qc? maybe cltime or clframetime have a different name in darkplaces? I searched for them without success thank you very much

try the gettime builtin.

static works at both global scope and local scope, equivalent to C.
(static locals are also visible to nested functions where regular locals are not)

r = (a?b:c)
is equivalent to
if (a) r=b; else r=c;


recovering lost precision requires rebasing the float timer back to 0. double(float)s have more than enough precision, but (single)floats do not, hence why the engine is okay, but qc will have issues before that.
join some unpopular nq server some time. one that has a map uptime of 4+ days. you'll see how it can't even hold time differences of 0.1. You need much more precision than that for smooth animations.
