Couple of questions

Post by **DRuM** » Mon Oct 31, 2005 3:13 am

Can you gauntlet a dead body after you've fragged it like in Q3 ? Never tried it myself.

Has anyone been able to inflict damage or frag a player by shooting rox through surfaces, such as shooting underneath the top platform on DM17? Twas another Q3 thing but was that a bug?

You mean damage through floors? I know that it's possible in VQ3 on dm7 when you shoot the floor at YA+RG ammo box from underneath.

floordamage was a bug that got removed in 1.25. people whined and it was brought back in 1.27

didnt point release 1.17 stop floor damage?
edit: guess not

nooo. 1.17 was the version we all played for a very long time. 1.25 came out of the blue (or so it felt) to synch vq3 with TA.

it also increased the time gibs and decals stayed on screen - that was great. they removed it later on though

i always thought 1.17 was the best pr they ever brought out, esp after the fiasco that was 1.27g

Floordamage was never brought back AFAIK. Rocket Arena 3 still does have it though, but they chose to keep it in and adapted the code again.

sure? i thought it was brought back because of all the interdrama around it

i personally never used it so *shrugs*

Yeah not there anymore, I'm pretty sure.

It's there in 1.30 and 1.31 and 1.32 too probably. You can try it on that spot i described at dm7.

CPMA and OSP have it too as a votable option.

Post by **DRuM** » Mon Oct 31, 2005 12:54 pm

It's definitely in 1.32

Post by **Eraser** » Mon Oct 31, 2005 1:17 pm

Weird, I thought it wasn't possible.

In Quake 4 I think it is possible.

I'll have to double check it eraser. I do switch between versions, mostly 1.31 and 1.32 and I know I've done damage on dm17 through the corner of the floor/ceiling of the uppermost platforms on one or both of those versions.

Post by **MKJ** » Mon Oct 31, 2005 1:39 pm

best place to check is tourney4

Post by **DRuM** » Mon Oct 31, 2005 1:45 pm

emka or eraser, let's go on a Q3 server and shoot each other in various spots to check it out.

Post by **Eraser** » Mon Oct 31, 2005 1:47 pm

I would if it wasn't for my boss who's expecting me to do work for him

Post by **MKJ** » Mon Oct 31, 2005 1:48 pm

same

dont have q3 installed on my computer at home either. i reainstalled it a little while ago to check out reefs server (after a 2 year hiatus), but i got a new rig between then and now and havent installed it on that one

Floor damage was removed from q3. It's possible in q4, mainly q4dm8. On some maps it doesn't work, even though the floors seem thin as hell.

doomer doesnt know his rocket launcher from his machinegun

Post by **DRuM** » Mon Oct 31, 2005 2:05 pm

Hmm, well I'll still need to check it out because I'm pretty sure I've seen and also done floor damage in one of the later point releases

Post by **Oeloe** » Mon Oct 31, 2005 3:10 pm

It must have been removed in Doomer's 1.33 PR.

I have no doubts about seeing people shoot me (with RL splash) and others through the floor in dm7 though. It's possibly a map bug or still a game bug, but it's there!

IRC:

<iGx`blade> <DRuM> Just a quick question. I remember being able to shoot up at and 'through' the top platform on DM17( the SG platform) from underneath and inflicting damage to a player standing right above it. Can't remember if I did this on 1.32. or a different pr. Is this bug in 1.32?
<iGx`blade> still bug in dm17

<iGx`blade> to shoot from rocket platform to above shotgun platform
<DRuM> blade,
<DRuM> nice one, so you're saying it IS in 1.32?
<iGx`blade> yea
<iGx`blade> yea
<DRuM> cool, as i thought
<iGx`blade> dunno if its in 1.30 or 1.31
<DRuM> nice one man, and is it on T4 too?
<iGx`blade> i only know in 1.32

<iGx`blade> uhh dunno

Drum, IRC posts are not valid evidence of... well, of anything.

I just fired up 2 copies of Quake and tried hurting player 2 through the floor of the SG platform on DM17... it didn't do shit.

There may be some isolated areas where it can happen.. an improper shader ona surface or something, but floor damage has been removed.

Post by **Eraser** » Mon Oct 31, 2005 3:42 pm

Yea so it's a bug in Q3DM17, not something in 1.32
