Bugs in Canyon Map
 

Greetings, have only found 2 minor bugs in canyon map.

first has been bothering me for a while. It is on the left canyon side near the first bridge. Both the bridge and folks on it disapear briefly from view when moving twards it from cowboy spawn area.

The second, and I hope Hewster took a screenie, is on the bluff just to the right of first spawn flag. Last week I jumped off it, got shot, and ended up stuck in the rock face. I'm assuming it looked pretty interesting for all play stopped as folks came to see my perdicament, till Hewster 'put me out of my misery'.

The other bugs I though were on the map ended up only being one way blast points on grates

Yeah i noticed the first one you listed.

SPURS
 

Not sure if its a bug or not.

When running in rock tunnel area - no spur sound. As soon as you come to the town - spurs start again. Just that short distance.

@Dragon.. lol yeah that was funny :) and when i shot you, you jumped out
of the rock and gibbed into little pieces. hehe
I don't think this is a particular problem with the map, but it might be.
I would presume that the hight you fell would have ment death anyhow ?

@Cire.. yep there is a problem with the spurs on some surfaces, I have
listed this in my "known bugs" thread.. I have now fixed this issue in the
code.

Strange
 

thats really strange for I had 33 health when I first got stuck. I had lept off it (normally no damage or 10 max) and was thrown back buy a shot into the rock face. I could still turn (and shoot if I wasn't so shocked at my perdicament) Did I looked dead to you folks? My view was at an angle (maybe 30 degree tilt like this \ ) but i was still very much alive according to my stats. I know in regular wolf you can be impaled by chairs (some one pushes it into spawn area and presto you 'sitting' in a chair unable to move till it is destroyed.) or revived and stuck in an inanimate object. This was first time that happened in Wild West.

P.S. Did you or anyone else take a screen shot?

edit:

About spurs, I kind of like the fact that 'soft' surfaces are less noizy that 'hard' ones, don't make all surfaces the same sound level please.

you wre all contorted.. your pelvis was stuck, but your body / arms & legs were moving around.. hehe looked like you were all disjointed lol..
no didn't get a screenie :(

yeah I'd making the spur sound more..mmm.. realistic, quiter on soft
surfaces, and a bit more random in the loadness generally :)

About a week ago, I was on the lone wolf server with a guy named Invader. It was the canyon map. When we were running around in the caves, he ran into a wall and it said that he fell to his death.:confused:

yes, i remember that. it was in the tunnel next to the 1st spawnflag. i was running. on the left side of the the tunnel and suddenly i was crushed. and than came that invader fell to death message.

since that i´m afraid of dark tunnels ;) (the mine map is horrible :uhoh: )

If you could take a screen shot of the area it would help BoltyBoy (if hes
gona do any fixes) locate the problem

Hewster

Bolty, can you make more rooftops accessable on this map?

psst. it's a matter of teamwork and creativity. I've managed most roof tops when I have the time and tallent with me. Of course leaving a rooftop usually involves a messy splash, but such is the life of sky divers.

I may have picked up on a previously undisclosed BIG bug in Canyon. I'm thinking it may have to do with the beta, as I've never noticed it before.

Since the vets know the fortress by heart, I thought I needed a refresher so I went in late last night as a spectator. Funny, the spectator spawns inside the tower with the chained girl! :confused: As the doors weren't open yet, there isn't much to spectate. Fine I thought, I'll putz around as a cowboy until the 2min mark is reached.
Lol - even more fun, after the 2min mark the spectator spawns in the tiny room that will be the end animation sequence! :lol: The cowboy and girl are standing there ready to embrace, frozen, and the room only has two walls which is very disorienting if you look at them. Anyway, if you want noobs to be able to look around in canyon before they play...

Re: Bugs in Canyon Map
 

I don't mean to speak for Hewster, but I had asked him about the spectator getting stuck in the room with the girl, and he told me that the original canyon map was lost, so he can't fix that. I don't know if this is still the case, but it was when I asked him a while back.

Re: Bugs in Canyon Map
 

Yup still the case. That's why the keys bug was so hard for him to fix. He couldn't open the map to find out what the prob was or change it where it needed to be changed....not meaning to speak for Hewster either....
Good Catches. Keep them coming!
btw there's a thread somewhere around where where I talk about being caught in that ending sequence room and getting a good look at the girl. A the time I had no idea what hewster looked like (he's the miner in the game not sure who the Dr is...) and I thought maybe it was a him in drag given the low res of the image! But looking at the actually image "skin" of the md3 "model", I can tell that is definately not Hewster!!! Then I thought perhaps it was Sarrah Huff It might still be her but there is a beauty mark that is missing from her left cheek. And so the mystery remains...

Re: Bugs in Canyon Map
 

speaking of which. Whats the case with old bolty? Is he still around hewster?

Re: Bugs in Canyon Map
 

For those who haven't noticed, BoltyBoy has been on line playing a few games this week.... Seems El Dragon's ESP strikes again!

Re: Bugs in Canyon Map
 

yes but he has been having trouble with his new PC crashing... looks like it was the
Nvidia / PB problems some players have been talking about in other forums.

FYI, then the new Foreware drivers came out for Nvidia cards, players were reporting
PC crashes when joining a PB enabled server.... apparently the very latest Nvidia drivers
plus the latest PB resolves this problem :)

Re: Bugs in Canyon Map
 

maybe one of us should have him check in here when we next see him. lol.

Re: Bugs in Canyon Map
 

I found that when you jump from the second flag and land where the crosshairs are located (between the rock and the rail) you can't get back out without killing yourself.

Re: Bugs in Canyon Map
 

Yep, been stuck there myself a few times. We know about it but we don't have the source code for the map any more, so we can't fix it. The source code was lost a long time ago...sorry.
