CTF- ToiletWars fatal? flaw

[[x_X]]

hey all,

im new to this board and also quite new to UT as well. havin a great time spendin most of my UT time on this server...usually seems filled with great people that are fun to play against and with.

reason im posting this: i wanted to make whomever aware that there's a pretty big flaw with ToiletWars that i found a couple weeks ago (and i can see that someone else already posted about this before). if you jump on a tiefighter and crouch as you fly into a closed door, you will become suspended in midair and you'll stay there as long as you crouch and dont kill yourself. it makes for a wicked sniper campout as long as you have a ton of ammo :twisted: but the problem is that you also cannot be hit with weapons fire while you are suspended (not cool :? ). a friend of mine (blue) was standing directly underneath me (red), unloading with the minigun, rocket launcher, and enforcer but was unable to hit me.

just wanted to make light of it so everyone knows about it...

/me has now found a good spot for FCs to hide..hehehe


Seriously though, that sounds like a pretty bad flaw.

hehe, powderboy told me about it, so now everytime that map's on, I ride tie-fighters..., because powderboy does it too! I remember x-locing him once by ACCIDENT when i tried to get onto the same tie-fighter he was on. It was about 3 or 4 weeks ago.

Also a mate of mine was crouching by the doorway holding an SL and i couldn't hit him with anything. Tried everything including the piston... :/

He just sat there smiling and telling me how much it tickled...

This may be a problem with SL and that I merely never noticed it before. However, when I was on ToiletWars I had the Relic of Redemption and a SL, I grabbed the other team's flag and took off. As I flew through the doorway, I dropped the flag and lost the relic but I was still flying the SL! I picked up the relic again and hopped off the SL. (It crashed into the enemy flag area for a Muti-Kill :twisted: ) I teleported back to the flag, grabbed it and another SL. I fired the other SL and as I flew through the doorway the same thing happened. I may have been hit by an Enhanced Shock Rifle but I highly doubt it because I didn't see any missed shots around me. Both times I was at full health and the first time I had armor too. Has anyone else seen this?

Welcome to the forums [x_X]...so I just need to fly the tie fighter into the closed door while crouching (after loading up on ammo) ...hmmm. Sounds like it needs someone to exploit it's flaw :D

I was dominating on that map one evening with a mini-gun and the relic of strength. It seemed no one could kill me, what a blast. I guess that means it wasn't skill keeping me alive, it was some software bug....damn. :(

Welcome [x_X]!

In spite of the bugs, its still a fun map!

Thought so, that was frustrating. Both times, barring some really bad luck, I would have capped. Tomolly was turning any of the Red players that got near the door into a 'leaky piece of meat' so once I flew through the door there was no opposition! Damn bug anyway! :evil:

[Creeper]

So... ya'll fly a SL into a door.. and don't know why it doesn't work?



Ok, just checkin... :wink:

[JaCanadian]

lol :D

Roger That, Mudhammer! Actually I think that if it weren't for the bugs it would be one of my favorite maps. No lame figher jets, lots of room to manuver, functional Tie Fighters, open space for SL flying and to top it off there's even plenty ammo for my minigun! :twisted:

Now if I could only figure out how to...
1: Fly a Strangelove from room to room and hang onto the flag.
2: Frag Tomolly when he's sniping on the Tie Figher.
3: Shoot through the invisible barrier by the door.

<sigh> :(

hey all,
thanks for the welcome to the forums, great to be here :D

so in the interests of exploiting the toiletwars map, i did a little experiment while on the server :twisted: and found that i could get hit while suspended in midair in the hallway (but only when someone actually looked up :roll: ). didnt seem to be able to be hit while in one of the rooms tho, except when someone flew a SL into me ...lol
