Intersting G2 bug perhaps?

Razzberry · Post by **Razzberry** » Fri Jul 04, 2003 8:18 pm

Just had this happen to me on Turkey this afternoon. I have the G2 client and when you have the OO flag, try parking half inside a building. I did this by accident because I was unwittingly heading straight for a player with SW and so I stopped to type, but then didn't die. And everyone tried to shoot me, with SW, GM and SB and nothing happened. I wasn't stuck or significantly lagged, just indestructable with OO half inside a building.

Anyone else able to duplicate this?

coudl you shoot?

No, I couldn't shoot. Just to make sure, I went back and duplicated it. You have to be less than 50% exposed though.

Does it work on non-g2 servers?

well that kind of makes sense, you arn't "out" of the building till you get your center out, so it's not realy a bug, you can't shoot, they can't shoot you, so there is no real exploit. It's just a "cusp" thing.

proper behavior is that you can be shot while half-out of the building. if this is reproducable, please file a bug report on sourceforge

This *shouldn't* happen, but I've seen similar things when trying to shoot other OO tanks that are more than half way in, but still may be 40% sticking out. Weird situation, but I can confirm it.

So, I guess someone should file it as a bug on sourceforge.net. Thanks, Razz.

Some of us *cough* don't read the sourceforge forums much. Thanks for reminding us.

If you're interested but don't want to go to the forums all the time, subscribe to the bzflag-dev mailing list, all patches, feature requests, and bug reports get forwarded there. You can put it in digest mode so you only get one message a day, if that suits your style.
