map problems

Post by Barrel Bomber » Mon Nov 12, 2007 2:50 am

im not sure if ill the only 1 gettin this but ever once in a while when u die u'll just fall right through the map its kind of weird and a little distracting to see the guy flopping around in the ground

also inbetween the w8ing for players part and the start there will sometimes be a lag type thing lasting from 5s to a min

these r really minor things that dont affect gameplay but i was just wondering if they could be fixed or if they were just a problem with the game?

That falling-through-the-map thing is pretty neat. Wonder if it's supposed to do that? Probably not.
It reminds me of that TFC map where you're bouncing around on floating platforms in space. There was a lot of falling-into-oblivion on that one!

Another weird thing is the reset you sometimes get at the start of a map. You start playing, and after a few seconds it resets and you're back in spawn. Why does it do that?

It resets after like 10-20 seconds as it waits for x amount of players to join the teams I believe. It's a "waiting for players" timer.

I get the falling through the ground a lot of the time when I die. It's kind of cool.

I used to get the falling through the ground thing but it stopped after one of the updates.

I wonder why it does that... that falling into oblivion... because I've been there and done that a whole bunch, and by all logic it shouldn't - regardless of how nifty it looks (and it is pretty nifty sometimes).

Maybe the camera that's attached to the model doesn't get disconnected right away when the player is gibbed and their head falls right through the level boundaries, or something to that effect? Because it doesn't make sense that a player camera would have weight enough to fall by itself...

That happens to me a lot. It's like the models stop colliding with the world or something.

There is a timer to give people a chance to join the server before the actual game starts. I don't know what's with the hangs that sometimes happen, though. At first I thought it was the server, but now I think it just the client because it seems like it's only me when it happens... :?
