Now that ZScript can let us do all sorts of wacky things with player controls and movement, it might be good to make this available for people to make sure their changes don't totally break gameplay at higher pings.

I am in favor of this, there are definitely legitimate reasons to expose this to release builds for modders.

Just ran into another use case for this - HUD interpolation stuff that workswas believed to work differently in multiplayer.

Good idea, but there are plenty of 3rd party software that can do this for you, with controls for things like latency, jitter, dropped packets, etc. Would be neat to have it build in to GZD, but would be re-inventing the wheel.

It was already built-in as of the time I posted this in 2018 - it's just disabled for release builds of GZDoom.
