... because I run an etpub server with ETPRO mapscripts and thought you might be interested in my find; plus, the coder of the fix, mortis, is an active poster here. Found all the scripts I use here at banis' forum, also the tank-fix. Thought it might be reasonable to post problems I encounter with them here and not in the etpub forums. So far about my justification for my committed blasphemy of mentioning a different mod than etpro in these holy forums. 'playdead' is just an assumtion, as said above, I didn't see him going in , just saw that player when he was already in. Could be something else also. However, the tank-fix was active for sure and he found a way in. I'll try to find out more about this and monitor the player, when he gets online.

no you don't... you run an etpub server with CUSTOM mapscripts... the playdead probably bypasses the script fix (as it does/used to bypass the door texture in goldrush), it's a problem that etpub will probably have to fix

Aww come on, what I meant to say is, it's a script based on banis improved scripting system and a script that came with ETPro originally, that's why I wrote ETPro mapscripts. If that information is incorrect, well, then sorry about that, I just wanted to give help and receive some, that's all. I'm just a mod-user, not -coder; I don't deem any ET-Mod to be better than the other or something, if that's the way I was understood.
i'm not trying to be offensive, but the map scripts are not created by bani... so you're referring to a particular person's scripts, which were written for etpro... etpro doesn't have things like playdead, which has bugs in it
yeah... and that's not what he's using, since he's using one that "fixed" the water tower bug... if he was using bani/rains, then he wouldn't have the water tower fix in the first place
Well, as said before, I do not intend to set up a 'fight' or discussion what mod's to blame for what I saw, certainly not. Maybe the source of the error is sitting right here in front of my display, who knows. So here's what I did in short: I just copied mortis' tower-fix to ragnars' railgun.script that features the new axis spawn positions, as you can see below. The script contains the line '// bani - Mon Mar 1 00:38:32 PST 2004 - falling deaths fixed' so I guess there must be some content by bani incuded.
Reason is, I wanted both features of mortis' and ragnars' script combined and as far as I could tell, it worked fine; at least I was unable to enter the tank (which I was able to do before). Again, etpubs' 'playdead' as a way in is just an assumption by me, I can't tell for sure for I didn't spectate the guy going in, just while he was in. I don't even know myself how to get in by playing dead; he could also have used some other way, that's also possible in ETPro. Just throught, you guys might want to know, that's why I wrote here.

talk about nitpicking
Our servers now run on 64 bit steroids. Point your ET to:
- Forgotten Ground StopWatch Server with occasional wolfrof 1
- Fraggle Rock ETPub Server - Mix up ET/UT & Duke Nukem

IIRC latest etpub client solved that yes. Killerwhale is merging Whaleclient into Etpub client AFAIK and he fixed it.

The railgun exploit existed in etpro due to some kind of clipping bug on the water tower itself. I don't know if etpro corrected this on a coding level, but I just put a large player clip to thoroughly block access inside the water tower, from the sides as well as from above. I think it is some other exploit that is being used to outside of etpro to get inside the tank, but I need a demo in order to understand how they are getting it. I suppose I could spawn a trigger_hurt inside the tank or something like that just as an added incentive to keep out of it.
Is it worthwhile for me to add this code? Has anyone found a demo of how it's being done with the current mapscript? Is this really an etpub issue more than an etpro issue?
Under etpro, I can't do any better than stick my head into the tank. The fakebrush is VERY tall and extends well into the 'air' above the model as well as into the bsp below. Testing on lowgrav, you can easily bump into the brush above the tank. Making the brush any larger in the x and y dimensions caused issues when player models neared the edges of the brush, causing player models to 'hang' or 'stick'. It wouldn't be too hard to add a trigger_hurt inside the tank, but it might have the same size constraint issue, I'm not sure.
