br_train gatling bug

Postby Lucky Luke » Tue Jan 12, 2010 7:25 pm

Hi!

I just want to report quickly, about funny Gatling bug in the br-Train.
I guess you know it already... but, if not:

using the Gatling in the station, make the station following the train!!!! :D

But it's not a good way, not to miss the train, because, it's impossible to move...

Ciao

Thanks for the report. I think a "weapon_nodrop" brush near the end of the map might correct this. I'll test it tonight. Stands to reason this bug would be present in the dm version as well.

So far, I can't reproduce the bug. When I deploy a gat on the station my body is "pushed" along with the train. I die when I reach the end of the staion. In addition, the station comes back around as usual, after a minute or two.

I get a different result. I set up the gatling gun, I get pushed accross the station, then I don't die. Instead, I float along side the train with the gatling gun. Other times I die like Red said.

:D

Well, i made it only one time. i had deployed the gat at the left side of the station (to baste the train) ... i think it was near a pillar, so that it may be the pillar, that cause me staying with the station...

I will try it one more time.

Hi!

Yep, i reproduced it.

It works like you say in 1.0 (not beta), in DM (i couldn't reproduce it).

But i made it, with the beta, in BR. The station is following the train, and it's impossible to move, or to store the gat...the only thing it can be done, is to fire with the gat... (i hope you understand what i'm saying, and that it's not too hard to see for your eyes (i mean my english) :D)

I think this bug falls under the SourceForge tickets #11 and #12

I'm disappointed. Yet, no more possible to call it "Lucky Luke's bug"...

I guess there won't be a mapping fix for the odd "gatling on station" behavior. Gatlings use to work on the station in the WQ3 days but I guess some gatling bug fixes in the code did something to affect it? My guess is that players who try using a gat on the station will quickly learn that it's a waste of money & not do it again.

But there is some good news for both versions of Train. I added a vertical "NODROP" brush at the end of the map that removes any gatlings that might be left on the station. I also added invisible "NOIMPACT" brushes to protect the cliffs from animation breaks by thrown knives. As a bonus, this also protects frame rates when someone shoots at the cliffs.
I hope L3th4l doesn't mind that I did some more "invisible" tinkering on Train. :)
