[Server] Problem with GetTickCount

[Y_Less]

The wiki is sort of correct, but the solution is very very wrong. You just need to use a subtraction.



While the code might look like this before:

Code:

if (newTime < oldTime  2000)

{

    // Flooding.

}

The solution is amazingly simple - just rearrange the formula

Code:

if (newTime - oldTime < 2000)

{

    // Flooding.

}

That will totally account for all wrap-around and negative numbers (I'm not going to prove it mathematically here though).
