How can I reduce the bps caused by sending the camera.pan ?

The player's pan is controlled by the camera.pan.
and therefor it costs me 600 bps per turn, on each player,
to send the data, even more without entrate set high.
ideas? any help is much appreciated.
thanks...

just dont send the players pan every frame.
Use a timed function to send the player pan.
10 times per second ids more than enough.

Thanks for you're reply.

There is no other / better way to do this?
the results are ok, but the less updates the more "coppyness"

you see I have to reduce it to 8 - 5 updates pr second to have any real effect

I dont know exactly you arcitecture.

But: the pan is something that is important
for the client (looking, shoting)

Other players dont need to have the player super exact pan
every frame. So 5 updates per second are also enough.

To smooth this out, do the following:
send the pan 5 times per second to the server.
The server passes this to the other clients.

Other clients can smooth this pan on every frame
(given the previous and most current pan).
You can make a liniar interpolation for that, or whatever
other function you are comfortable with.

the most simple function, that works is:

other.pan = other.pan * 0.7 + other.newpan * 0.3;

which is calcualted every frame.
other.newpan is the actual pan the server sends.
You can play around with the numbers (the sum must be 1)

Its a very simple smoothing procedure.
Better is to use an interpolation, wich calculated
the average frames between panupdates, and then interpolates
between them. (be careful to adapt for jumps from 359 to 1 degree, else the playre makes a whole rotation)

When the player shoots, you should send the pan and tilt
at the time of shooting, so the server knows the exact
viewdirection at the time of shooting.

thanks, ill try it out ;P
