Oasis Bug

(SlipperySam) #1

Hello, I’m not sure if this is the best place to post this, but I couldn’t find a place that seemed better.

I just wanted to report a glitch in the oasis map. Maybe somebody has already posted this, but I couldn’t find it… so here goes.

Basically, we planted two dynamites on south gun (one on top and one in below on right) within a second of each other. We were running towards north gun when dynamites on south gun blew. It reported first that we blew the south gun and immediately said we had also blown north gun and had won the map. Nobody had planted on north gun yet, and everybody was left wondering what happened as we moved to the next map in the campaign.

Has anyone else seen this? I was super weird. :eek2:

This is known bug that will most likely lead to forfeit loss if u use it in competition match.

Where are bugs like this usually reported?

You could report them here, but as no-one’s going to fix them it could be considered pointless. There will be no patches or bug-fixs from SplashDamage.

Alternatively you could try the ETPro forum, as they’re the only people developing anything for ET, but of course it’s a mod which is not used on all servers.

Didn’t we fix that? I can’t remember…

I do know that we’re aware of it, and that it was some intricate race condition in the map script… I think some changes were made to (hopefully) prevent it, but I’m not 100% sure that happened.

Its fixed in ETPro yeh :slight_smile:

You know the fixed MG on Oasis, overlooking the old city, that Allies can build and use - well as Axis how do you shoot someone off it? I emptied a whole clip right on somebodys head and it didn’t even give me one hitsound (eventually he noticed my constant rain of bullets coming from his side and casually turned and killed me). I was standing on the balcony just past the water pump on Axis side. Is this a bug on the map or was he cheating.

you were missing, not hitting, therefore no hitsounds, maybe the mg was blocking you

Crouch…aim for multiple locations till you get the hitsound…then pour it on.
Damned Mgs always get in the way.

(Sqwirral) #10

I was crouching, aiming straight for the head, the crosshair wasn’t going wide and I can usually get headshots at twice that distance. But I just remembered something I read about the hitboxes being incorrect for certain animations, I guess it could have been that.

I hate people who post just to not type anything and quote somebody else.

(senator) #13

Do you also hate people who quote themself, because obviously the one they replied to didn’t understand the most important part of their original post?

As a matter of fact, yes. Does he really think that aiming around a bit is such a difficult concept he had to repeat it? Had I at any point said I didn’t understand him? It’s just patronising and irritating. You ‘obviously don’t understand’ that.

BTW I’ve since encountered the same problem a few more times, all of which have involved trying to shoot somebody standing close to a model, such as on the tank, mg, shooting through the struts underneath bridges, the dora railgun, etc. A couple of these occasions I was spectating others, watching them empty a whole clip and hearing the sound of their bullets bouncing off objects, even though the aim was pointing past the model. I’ll put this down to less-than-accurate clipping on the models.

eRRoLfLyNN, etc, you’re posting rubbish, repeating the same pic from another thread. Perhaps if you keep doing it - IT MIGHT GET FUNNY!

I’ll leave this thread now, I feel too out of place by typing real posts instead of replying via quotes, emoticons and flat-chested blondes.

He said:

your reply was:

No, it didn’t sound as if you had understud the important part of his posting. Your problem was that you couldn’t hit a guy whos model was clearly visible to you, for whatever reason, and eRRoLfLyNN posted a possible solution which you completely ignored with your following post. If you weren’t looking for a solution for your problem but instead just wanted to rave a little bit about unfair hitboxes or bad clipping, you should have said so in your first post, saving us from the urge to help you.

(eRRoLfLyNN) #19

Indeed.

I am delighted to have been in your company, if only for such a short time. Your epic departure has touched me in places I never knew existed. Good day my liege! :frowning:

eRRoLfLyNN posted a possible solution

Hahah, yeh, sure he did! Learn to read usernames yourself before picking up others on the same thing.

No, it didn’t sound as if you had understud the important part of his posting.

Excuse me? You’re twisting what I said. I did NOT say I didn’t understand him, I merely stated what I did. I said I was crouching, etc, and just because I didn’t say I was aiming for multiple locations, that means I don’t understand it? You really do think that other people are so stupid they can’t comprehend aiming around? Wow.

The reason I didn’t include his idea in my reply, was because I didn’t do it, and it’s impossible for me to go back in time and try his idea out - the person has surely moved from the MG now (and only his head was in my sight anyway, which is why I couldn’t aim for different locations). Get it? What reply do you want exactly, his idea is too late, I was looking for an EXPLANATION of why the bullets weren’t hitting. Let’s say I had aimed around, and got one of two body shots in, would that satisfy the fact that headshots weren’t registering? No, it’s just a pointless suggestion. I didn’t deem it worth addressing since it wasn’t relevant to getting my explanation. I don’t know how to explain that any better. Should I have posted “Yes, I understand the idea, but that’s kinda late and I couldn’t have done it anyway” just to stop him from repeating it the very next post?

If you weren’t looking for a solution for your problem but instead just wanted to rave a little bit about unfair hitboxes or bad clipping, you should have said so in your first post, saving us from the urge to help you.

WHAT!? Forget it. I asked if my situation was a bug with the map, okay. I wasn’t “raving about unfair hitboxes and bad clipping”, I was just looking for an answer, which I didn’t get but I’ve probably figured it out anyway. Now I know it’s not cheaters or something wrong with the way I was shooting, fine, I just wanted an answer. Please take these stupid arguments and petty critisizing of what I said elsewhere.

There I go replying when I said I wouldn’t. Sorry, couldn’t help it.
