Re: [Quake-C] DP Netgraph (shownetgraph)

So, I had a look at white spikes.

bf and cprint from the console dont - they must be client side only.
I'd bet prints from csqc dont show either.

You'll see one any time you collect an item: "You got the nails"

I also saw a couple when I went through teleports, but not every 
teleport did it.  Most didnt.

Vanilla has very few prints of any sort.  None seem like they could be a 
stray "\n" that sneaks out.

I did see some white when killing a grunt.  That must have been 
SVC_KILLEDMONSTER.

So, maybe its one of the few MSG_ALL.  I see none that operate without 
some player action though.


If it isnt an item touch, or other message like "you need X key" perhaps 
a stray print snuck in modified code.
If you are just sitting there doing nothing, it would have to be in the 
processing loop somewhere.
Or in an active think.


If you really want to try packet sniffing, a linux real box or virtual 
machine might be a good bet:

# apt-cache search packet|g sniffer
ettercap-common - Multipurpose sniffer/interceptor/logger for switched 
LAN
hunt - Advanced packet sniffer and connection intrusion
nast - packet sniffer and lan analyzer
netsniff-ng - Linux network packet sniffer toolkit
python-scapy - Packet generator/sniffer and network scanner/discovery
sniffit - packet sniffer and monitoring tool

I dont know whats on windows now, but when I did it in the 90's, I had 
to write my own.
