Skulltag has this flag for actors that does not need to be synced online. Useful for purely decorative things, like projectile based weather. This way bandwith can be spared. See: http://zdoom.org/wiki/Skulltag_features

Pretty sure ZD dev team doesn't really like it when people ask for something just "because they made it in Skulltag". Neither do I, actually.. If they start implementing flags like this I'd ask for a hundred more of such minor flags/features.

I don't ask this just "because they made it in Skulltag". I ask for a flag that spares bandwith when mappers use many decorative objects (like projectile weather) by spawning them only on client side. It would be wise to name the flag like Skulltag does it, for compatibility (although they don't have such in dehacked AFAIK), wouldn't it? You don't seem to be able to make a difference between an unreasonable eyecandy feature and a feature that is actually useful in an online port.

Great idea, which has definitely been raised in the past for strictly decorative actors.

1 question: how will zdaemon handle scripts that spawn CLIENTSIDE actors? It seems to be unnecessary to execute those on the server, and perhaps there comes in skulltag's clientside script flag:

(from zdoom skulltag specific wiki)

Code:
Skulltag handles "net" scripts differently. There is a "clientside" type which means the script is ran on a local machine rather than on the server. By default, scripts are executed server-side. In previous versions net changed the script to clientside, but because that automatically made it so users could execute (puke) that script there was no way to make a non-player executable clientside script.

Clientside and net scripts can be combined to create a desirable method of execution.

    net - Can be executed by the puke command, server-side script.
    clientside - Cannot be executed via the puke command, client-side script.
    net clientside - Can be executed by the puke command, client-side script.

To bring back the old behavior of net being both clientside and puke executable, you can set a new server CVAR "compat_netscriptsareclientside" to 1.


eg.:

Script 1 open CLIENTSIDE
{
//do stuff
}

With this, the server only sends the instruction to the clients to start the script, and everything done in the script after is handled on the client only.

Phenex2 said that this may be more complicated then it seems yay crap >.<
So new feature reguest or any ideas?
Edit: Okay seems there MIGHT be giant way how utilize it! Just hold on to test it ~

It is (at least in zdoom world), There it's called CLIENTSIDE for sure. I tried to create Spawners for rain, every possible stuff to utilize it, but it seems its tiiiiny bit unfunctional yet because it don't save any bandwith :/.
