if you shoot on a non moving platform, then get on a moving1 moving faster than the bullet you can. If the GM activation time is too quick and you move fast enough you can, if you make the turn radius fast enough, and shoot at a guy that goes behind you fast enough you can. Listed them in order from...

that doesnt fix the tele hax pass or the under tele jump pass, that would only work on the above tele pass.

putting a pyr on the ground to make the below tele passes work would make it too easy, all yoou'd have to do is release the flag under the tele and it would pass. If the dev's could add a line to the code used to put a tele in maps that makes teles act like they did in 2.0, that would make all the t...

hmmmm the bottom tele passes wouldnt work with the pyr on top of the tele so it still wouldnt be exactly the same. As for the dont change it thing, const, i can see both sides to that, I personally think not changing it would cause a bigger change than changing it, and i think it would hurt game play.

try again zac and make sure you're high enough up on the pillar. under 5 units it goes up, over 5 units it goes mid. I had no problems at Gran's place.

What are the dimensions for the hit zone of the tank? Reason I ask is for an idea on how wide to make some boxes for my next map.

also some gameover perms for all GU players would be needed too

Inex is the only offi server still on 2.0.12 then?

opps, thats what i meant, i got the things backwards, those two always make me have to stop and thing which is which. Ya, I meant a pyr that bullets hit but tanks cant land on.

I think hes saying add a shot through, but not drivethrough pyr on top of the teles, make it super short, like 0.01 height maybe and make it clear, no one would notice it, it would affect the flags, and its too short to really do anything to bullets.

no, had a few before it, but it is my best imo.

I thought of a way you can fix that arc without making it passable, why not lower jump velocity from 19 to around 18.5 or 18, that will fix that bug I was talkin w/ you about.

Map's just your standard 2 castle map, geno mid, 1 oo mid which kills you if you grab it, along with 4 jm and 4 cb flags, bases have 2 gm towers, an underground section good for laser sniping to the ground floor, 2 teles that take you to sb corners and sw on top of the sb sections for enemys to kill...

my take on the this issue is that the dev's put a limit on radar size, and if they wanted to limit the rest of the gui options, they probably would have by now, so until they do, it should be legal.

the oo proof boxes would help on false bottom maps too

sounds like we got a zombie expert here xD

that would cause a problem, if your spawn zones are on boxes and dont have -sb enabled, you will airspawn... and airspawns are NEVER fun... seen them from time to time on Bloodbath... that was always how you knew if 1 team took the pwnage too far over the other team at Bloodbath

how high in the air?

But i can also see other peoples bullets on the radar and on the map! Oh, and i think its not a very good flag, possibly the worst of all superflags. I don't know, I'd prolly put SR at #1 most useless flag, you have to be so close to another tank for it to work, and its just not possible to get tha...

Probably too late for 3.0, but somewhere down the line would it be possible to add options for objects to make flags work differently around them, like options for BU to work in a box, or boxes OO can't drive through, boxes B can still see. Options like this would give map makers more concepts to wo...

I thought I heard 3.0 will allow custom tanks, does that mean it won't be hard coded on 3.0?

It's still giving problems, although its much better than it was, only tanks get sucked in now. Can the mesh see the inside point through other boxes and stuff? Add spawning completely sealed inside a box to the list of map problems. There's only 1 box causing it. This map's driving me nuts, I'm thi...

yes, that was a great explination

I know this is an aging post, but yall might find this interesting, LLRR, Carnage, and I were playing on a New Zeleland server, and the lag for Carn and I was much lower on that server than Aussie and New Zeleland players on any American server. Carn had 270-280 range and I was in the 195-205 range....

I tried adding the inside points and it didn't fix the problem, bullets and tanks still went in. Besides that problem, the maps just about ready. There's a few other small problems like spawns and flag spawn zones also not cooperating, and small glitches, but that mesh is the only big issue.

do I include the inside vertex in the vertices list for each face?
