q2DM7 was only made so that q2dm7mod could be made some day.

I figured this would be a month down the list. So, instead of starting a new thread I'll hitch this for the following:

You know how it's said that every bug one day will be abused if it's worth it? Well, that mislocation bug (invisible player, for the uninformed) apparantly can be, now. The same ****head did it multiple times. I knew the ****head was cheating, but I figured it was over once I saw his death message - not to be. He either backdoored it or reconnected, showing he wasn't just cheating in order to win, but to intentionally **** with players, and as 'paranoid' as some people think I am, it appeared the main player was me.

So, forget Punk calling me a camper without being willing to make a demo and post it here, forget how no one else noticed or informed the other players and just kept shooting someone looking for the ****head (namely me), but now you have a bug that's abusable and not fixable by client-side adjustments. Last I checked it was admitted that the bug is due to personal alterations in the code, so those alterations need to be remedied now or the offending servers shut down until a time that can be accomplished.

BTW, if you want to delete my times on Jumpmod, have the balls to kiss me first. I don't give a **** who did it, point the fingers all you want, but my score for ATR_KJump11 had been up there for quite some time and now only very old or very new times are there, as if someone intentionally went back before that 'week before BigD' backup someone said you had and screwed me over expicitly. I knew I had completed a lot more maps than that, after seeing scores not existing on maps I know I finished, but ATR_KJump11 proves it. I worked on that 9.2 to shove it down Pitri/Boat's throat only to have it rammed up my ass.

Oh, yeah, I only read the first page of this thread for now, and I thought Blood and Digency were good players. Android, like I said, you need accuracy in your statements, and Elysium's attitude is shared by Kickro and Dake - namely, grab the quad whenever you can. That's why I whored the hell out of that server... accuracy. Gawd, it was a pain to start timing it again, especially after not using it for years to keep people from leaving the damn server. They already thought I was cheating, but if I used quad the server cleared in a heartbeat. Grow a brain and learn some facts.

I can't believe how badly I'm behaving. All the **** you people are excreting has rubbed off on me.

Speaking of the "invisible player, for the uninformed, bug"
I use the female model when i play. Whenever I have entered a server, and happened to be invisible, I always had the grunt voice.
That's how i knew I was invisible.
The other night I joined a game on Mutant and apparently was invisible, but I was still making the female model sounds.
Crazed was there I believe, he's the one who identified me.

So anyway, I had no clue I was invisible. Has this hapened to anyone else?

Did you happen to check which player model the offender was using? Which server was this, and what was the alias of the player? I don't know if I can reconstruct anything useful from the logs, but maybe.

Personally I'll be surprised if there's any way to trigger the invisibility bug deliberately, but if there is, I'll actually be happy, because glitches that can be reproduced on demand are easier to debug than ones which occur sporadically.

What I might do is go back to the version that was based on the id 3.21 game source, before i ported my mod to the r1q2 b4812 game source. I'm fairly certain there were no instances of the bug reported with that older version.

So you have any recollection of roughly how long ago you got a 9.2 time?

I have numerous back-ups in June, although only a back-ups in July so far.

I spot-checked the atr_kjump11 times in back-ups between the dates of June 14th and today, and on every one I looked at, the best time appears to be this one: 02/03/06 9.700001

Just kill yourself or let yourself be killed. On respawn, you should be visible.

I've got old demos I posted here a while back where I was able to become invisible with a trick. This only worked on servers running Quake 2 version 3.19 though. Once you died, like the current bug, upon respawn you were visible again though.

Interesting... If you still recall the details of how that trick used to work, could you PM me info? Might give me some hint as to the nature of the problem...

Thx,

Art, Fluffy, I was actually referring to the fact that I was invisible and I did not have the grunt voice, but I still had the female one, which was the only time this has happened to me.

That left me with no way of knowing I was invisible until "The Crazed" told me I was.

I thought I had suddenly become a badass

@ the badass. Speaking of Fluffy, wasn't that the invisible skin ?
