TOPIC: SSRP Server Suggestion Personal Damage Logs

Server Name: SSRP

Suggestion Title: Personal Damage logs

How would it benefit the server: if someone as hacking or house to test how weapons did on others.

Potential Issues/Exploits: possible lag but if it’s a Personal thing in consol thing I am not sure

Additional notes: This can be good to show if someone can possibly be using god mode or see how a psg does compared to a svu.

EDIT: THIS CAN BE FOR PERSONAL USE GLITCHES AND RAIDS AS I HAVE STATED TO AQUA AND NOT MAINLY FOR RDM.

I guess i understand, but weapons like the gluon and whatnot will cause some hardcore server side lag!

Also for raids you can use it as a tactical way to see if anyone was damaged or killed using explosives to try and single that player out. Then for defending say your slams go off and you want to check who was killed which can help nlr and do see if anyone else was hurt to get an understanding on who and how many people are raiding. But for rdm you would need video proof as normal.

Just becauae its in your console doesn't mean it didnt come from the server. As far as I'm aware we would still have to network the damage from the server to your client. It would be slightly better then networking to multiple clients but would still probably be very intensive if you factor how many people could possibly be taking damage at the same time.

True true if anything there should be a steam workshop addon in my opinion but I wouldn’t know how to do that.

If its not available nativity on the client then that could still possibly be a huge source of unnecessary networking when working in a ten year old engine every thing that we have to network counts. After all the game runs in one thread each action happens one at a time so everthing matters.
