Got a bug to report. This forum will not allow me to upload the demo. oops
Hellsurvivors:

An known texture error that was seen by all.

In the blue base only......dont laugh...a textureless box(about the height of a player model and as wide as two and as deep as one) floated in a a counterclockwise manor (looking inwards from center-entrance blue base)


Lost documented visual comfirmation
(I took the time to track this and tried to stand in front of it etc...it was not corporeal in the map...as i got close to blue flag in a strait line towards center, entrance point..I noticed that the 'block' would enter and exit the same point and the rotation remand constant, only faster and more in my path as i got towards the back of the map nearer the flag.)


Umm WTF?
 
In all q2 and teamfortess I have never seen this nor have I ever been told about anysuch thing, on any map built on this engine.

You've been smoking the same stuff that MONEY has when MONEY got a demo of the floating door in Grave.

[loial21]

Any idea what causes this?
Aside from what I smoke.

Very weird, on my client it was textured with the white and grey tiles and didnt show up wireframed with gl_showtris 1 on.

A veritable ghost box.

That would be the texture the game uses when it has no texture, thus it was untextured.

Actually, on the contrary...





Hell Survivors actually uses that tile texture on the undersides and also sides of the map where you can't visit.

Here is my concern. This was not stationary nor present any where else. In fact, unless costom models were enabled for download I have never seen an anomaly as big as this in Q2.


(My perception)
It followed me always backing up, never to intercept my model, only a slow deflection backwards until-it shot out....at that point it ran along the base wall just wide and tall enough to cover the flag. My first preclusion was radar. 2 or 3d. Sorry if wrong.

Thoughts?

Thoughts?

It's a server-side bug that's been recorded once before. It happens at the beginning of a map or not at all- restarting the map will fix it just fine.

This was reported once before.  My first guess was that the capture point (base) entity somehow got turned into a func_rotating entity, but it looks like capturing the flag was still possible, so that probably isn't it.  I'm not sure what causes it or how to fix it, but it seems pretty rare.  I may have to revisit the entity code at some point.  There were a lot of little bugs in the quake2 code that did not surface until something else was changed.
