interpolation test 1
This is a patch that adds client-side interpolation to other players, replacing
the current prediction that was in place.
It works by delaying all player's positions by 1 update (which happens about
every other tic). Then, every tic, it gradually moves the player to the latest
received position. When a new update is received, the player is moved to the
earlier position, and the process repeats.
The primary result of this is that other players look a whole lot smoother than
they used to, without using any extra bandwidth. On the other hand, this adds
latency to the game, since you're seeing player positions about 2 or 3 tics
older than you would otherwise (so this is around 60 to 90ms added onto ping).
I have not added any compensation for this in the unlagged code (but it should
be done). I have tested this and seem to miss a lot more often than I do
without it, but I don't know if that is caused by the additional latency or
not.
