Server's problem I think. Its also related to why the fans in nano and the telenode rings are acting warpy.
Then again, somehow it appeared in one of my LAN server demos :/

Perhaps, but the old Trem/GPP was just fine..... Not instant but not jerky.... So Im thinking it's something to do with the new system which allows for setting the speed. I personally don't care for setting speed, just as long as it's not instant or slow.... so Trem's was great.

If you set the cl_wwtime or whatever it is called to like 5000 [five seconds smoothing] it'll still be jerky.

What does that have to do with it?

Im saying even on the setting set to fast, you still get a jerkyness.... of course the slower the more jerky. When the setting is on slow it's painful.

Let's do both
1) the arrow showing gravity/ground direction
2) automatic smoothing of wall: just take normal in the place where you stand and in say 5x3 points around and average that

there is Idea for the arrow - http://unvanquished.net/ideas/ideatorrent/idea/39/

Funny, that made me realise there's a big fat arrow in the background.

I don't like the idea of an arrow, there should be another way to tell us. Probably some veins appearing to the "bottom" where "bottom" is the side which gravity is pulling you to?

Okay, that was a stupid idea, but i do get headaches from tilting my head.
