Hello everyone,

 

I'm making a mod based on the game "Sniper Elite v2". It would be really nice if I could slow down Minecraft to half-speed whenever I shoot my mods' sniper rifle (to imitate the x-ray killcam in Sniper Elite). Do any of you guys know if this is possible?

 

Thanks for reading!

Hi

 

In single player I think you could manage this ok, but multiplayer would be a problem unless, when one player scopes a rifle, all other players see the game move at half speed.

 

If you're willing to accept that, then I think you could probably make the game run at half speed if you mess around with

Minecraft.timer; it is set to 20 ticks per second, you could make it 10 instead using a technique called ASM + Reflection.

Likewise for the server side; MinecraftServer.run() there is a value you could change the same way.

 

                        while (j > 50L)
                        {
                            j -= 50L;
                            this.tick();
                        }

 

No guarantee it would work but for single player only it might be fun to try and see...

Its rahter difficult to do, and would cause issues. Something like that typically has to be built into the engine itself.You could probably simulate it on the client side by intercepting and canceling like 1/2 the entity tick events.

But it'd probably cause sync issues with the server.

I'd be interested in seeing if you find a solution that works without major issues.
