Strange Wall Physics on Torture Chambers map

[ReCycled]

On the wall area above the jail cells the player will move by itself with a just a gentle nudge to start. Also you dont fall off the wall farther out. You can even run along this imaginary line. You never fall. I can even put my back to the wall.
Very odd....Here's the demo.

city1 also has that along the ledge to the rl.

alot of the stock maps we made kinda sloppy (they were the first after all)
and have tones of mapping bugs

That happens on many maps. I think city1 and the Trture Chambers have the worst, but there are others (q2dm2?).
I make maps sometimes, and that's really hard to avoid with a large map. I think it is a problem with the shader and texture extending out a tiny bit. Not enough to see easily, but enough to walk on. Quirky Quake 2 physics. Don't try to walk on one of those in a deathmatch, you'll just be an open target. Fragfodder, as the_reaper would say (inside joke).

the worst? q2dm1
you can walk over the arena if you do a rocket/nade jump up there

[HaX80r]

Of course, a mapper could add wall physics like that to amke a really wierd deathmatch level. Think about it, having the ability to walk up walls (ladder shader for the entire map?) That would be great! I think I'll make that and post it here.

you can do that in q2dm3, you can climb up one side of the pipe

q2constructionsite is all ladder shaders.. it gets pretty hectic

would be better with a bigger map imo

that's not climbing up a wall

I just hit a wird spot like that in a larger map,  there's a pipe you are in that has glass sides..and one pane is broken
2 pipes like that on the level, but one just on the end you can move like you were on ice, with just a nudge.

Yeah in city1 you can pretty much float over that gap between the ledge and the rocket launcher stone thing... I think it's fun! I love it when noobs get stuck in the spot so I can pull off some lazy rails.

Ever notice you always get stuck on shit in q2? Walls... indents on the ground... can be a real pain in the ass.

[Whirlingdervish]

I've noticed that almost every one of the stock q2 maps
has at least a couple little areas that could use a playerclip brush.
Moreso with the single player maps than the DM ones.

Most of the DM ones are pretty slick, in terms of being non-sticky, because they're laid out
in a much more open fashion intended to allow players the maximum freedom of movement and long runways to
build up speed. There are less pillars along the walls and such that would even require a clip brush to keep the players away from them.

I think we're just fortunate that some of the SP maps play well for DM at all.

[HaX80r]

Those sticky spots suck, unless you just got a great frag because someone was stuck. The SP levels are so comlex that the guys at id didn't have enough time to find every glitch. Doing that would take years. I once tried that on base2, and I gave up after about 4 hours.

BTW, the dm64 levels don't have any noticeable sticky spots. I don't know why.

[Kingsize]

Think I know what yer on bout,like getting stuck as if yer on ice,was gonna try and make a jump map with that innit,still thinkin bout it.

[FragUPlenty]

yea that looks like a glitch in the map for sure. Ive never seen that one and but its kinda cool. Although it certainly isnt a glitch that is gonna affect the game.
