railgun exploit

i haven't seen this exploit before, but it was pretty annoying

demo

it shows a guy standing inside an object on the bridge at depot yard. if you can't see him, do r_showtris 1.

Could be the same bug (exploit?) where you can jump into a pillar, e.g. on Goldrush near the Bank or on Caen near the flag.

It seems that pretty much any large curves are subject to this bug. Should be fixable in mapscript with fakebrushes.

Curve clipping -> teh sux.

lol, it would be funny watching someone trying to jump into an object that gets fixed with etpro mapscripts...

I'll look into a fix...since I am teh uber at etpromapscripts (j/k but a fix with fakebrushes would be easy)

or make it lethal to be in there... so you can jump in but you'll start dieing by doing it

Yeah, had a play around last night.

It's easy to fix (I've done this already for about half a dozen maps), but I don't know which angle the 'seem' is on.

Anyone got a demo of somebody jumping in? I can't replicate

.

Etpromapscript that prevents this exploit is done:

railgun etpromapscript

This was the same exploit found in the raiders map btw. The tank on ledge above the depot yard now has a solid playerclip inside it. The edge may seem a bit 'sticky' if you encroach on the fakebrush.

Excellent.. they were waiting for this bugfix on our servers

let me know how it works. I tested on my local server with just myself, but players always find ways to find the one pixel that lets them in...

Sweet!!!

Just a request here to either Mortis or Ragnar-X: could one of you also incorporate the extra tower spawns Ragnar-X added in his script?

Thanks a million!

Well, a few mins ago we tested the script on our servers, and it works like a charm! Remember to add set b_mapscriptdirectory "etpromapscripts" in your server.cfg... else it won't work

I already planned an update of the script and I will include mortis fix (with his permission).

PS: Does anyone have a demo how to jump in? I never managed to do it myself (but only tried a few times

).

go for it, Ragnar. It is only one small bit of code at the beginning of the script.
