tiranog: If you're working on a dedicated server for Jazz2, you're in the wrong thread. If you're working on a dedicated server for OpenJazz, I'd recommend against it - the protocol is far from final, and OpenJazz will eventually be able to run in dedicated mode anyway.

slaanesh: It's a sort of half-old, half-new bug.

Previously, the player always shot from a fixed point. This was bad because it meant you couldn't shoot lower while crouching, so in the latest version the point is retrieved from the current animation.

In Jazz's falling animation, he does shoot out of his ears, presumably to account for people's delayed reactions. Every now and then, OpenJazz thinks Jazz is falling even when he isn't, which is why the bullets shoot out of his ears.

As well as fixing crouching, the changes mean that when Jazz is teetering on the edge of a platform, it no longer looks like he's shooting out of his... erm... posterior. You decide whether or not this is a good thing!
