GEMA race time

A — the server tells the player that he may spawn and starts the stopwatch.
AB = time taken to transfer server's message (equals to ping at that moment).
B — the player hears what the server said, spawns and begins racing.
BC = time taken by the player to stole the flag and to bring it to the other flag.
C — the player tells the server that he scored.
CD = time taken to transfer player's message (equals to ping at that moment).
D — the server hears what the player said, notes the time and stops the stopwatch.

Thus,
actual race time going to maptop ≈ 2×ping + player's race time

So we have to subtract ping_at_start and ping_at_end from (getsvtick() - start_times[cn]) in onFlagAction handler to get real time?

Yes, we should. Such solution could lead to a fairer estimating of race time. But with v1.3 it's impossible to get the most accurate estimation, because the onPlayerSpawn handler is called immediately after a server told a player that he might spawn. I'll make it possible in v1.4.

mind blown

lol

BTW Sveark, for webchat, maybe its possible to use http and mysql?
and more ideas: (Jinkx asked me about a global gtop thing, i told him lua has Mysql) >> mysql database for gtop, to be used by myserver, jinkx .... ... .... . . . . ?
and a question about a script / command; how do i use the http.lua?

require "http"

and what then`? how do i it? could you give me some examples please?

Thanks!
