When I was playing on the human team another human killed me when it was is in Extreme Sudden Death. and we were the last two people. Everyone was like WTF!?! I had a BSUIT and Chaingun and he had Light armour with helm, BPack and Prifle.

My biggest wtf moment was on the X server. I had heard myths and legends about it being very... chaotic, so i decided to check it out. Upon entering I get 1-shotted by a granger spitball. I thought i just sucked, and i probably still do.

what's extreme sudden death?

Extreme Sudden Death is when all structures get destroyed before that you get 2000 credits to buy anything to get ready.After ESD there annihilation or something. annihilation i think is when everyone starts to lose HP and last man standing is winner. (aliens normally win)

It's a shitty UBP mod. That they have the source locked down. Even tho its an open-source game and its ilegal..

Did I just say that? :x

Lol, same thing with Rampage on Dretch Storm, when it was up.

Yeah but rampage was way more fun. Especially when ghostshell changed it so all humans had bsuit-painsaw setup :) You could just hide as granger and split at them

Several weeks ago in either US1 or EU1 server (can't remember exactly), the map was Nano.  I marked the OM for shifting and just as when I was about to press the button, the OM disappears!  I turned around to see where it went and it was being built in the middle of the base!  So I quickly marked it and re-built it where I originally intended then turned around to face the noob who built the OM in the middle of the base and there it still was the second OM!  At this time, we had TWO OMs!  The build was instantaneous too with no waiting for the timer to complete the cycle. 

Aelita

That's either a serious bug or you weren't playing on US/EU1. Sounds more like Nuts(?) where you can build two OMs/RCs (even though that server's no longer around), lol.

Benny Lava

It was definitely on either US1 or EU1, because I only play there.  I tried to recreate the situation in other maps but without success.   I might try it again in Nano, just to see if the bug has been removed or not.

Meisseli

Either the other one died and you built one before the dead OM exploded, or it was some form of a /revert. That's what I would guess happened.

superspirality

Hmm...in Nano it really seems like a glitch or /revert.
I know some maps which can (idk how though) override the normal game rules and allow you to build two main buildings though it's not Nano definitely.

Benny Lava

It was very early in the game and the base was not raided.  Both OMs were intact and none of them were dead or dying.  One of the team mates actually had to kill the second OM to maintain order.  Also, it was no /revert either, and while it lasted, it was quite funny.  I tried to recreate the situation in couple of other maps as I mentioned above, but with no success.  I think it may very well be the problem with the Nano alone.  When you have the chance, try it out for yourself.  It requires two grangers for it to work, that is, if it can be done again at all.   8)

Meisseli

Kind of looking for a needle in a haystack. You would have to remember the exact locations of the Overminds and what happened and so on. A demo would help.

gimhael

I had a quick look at the code and I think it could happen: the build code does not initialize all variables of the new OM. If a building dies because it was out of creep just before the new OM is built, the new OM may inherit the out-of-creep flag from that building. The Overmind code never checks this flag, so the OM works as usual, but the duplicate check ignores all out-of-creep buildings, so you can build a second OM.

when i was on top of a turret, the turret was aiming upp allready, then shot me. I was like wtf a turret killed me this isnt tf2 then i realized that a goon pounced me when it said how i died.

these are stupid suggestions, don't even waste our time.
I don't like your negative attitude.

Humans can be killed by turrets. It is a rather hilarious event.

Yeah, felt that few times when got shot by friggin turret. And other funny thing too is make turrets accidently shoot eachother. :laugh:

RoHAK

Can they do that? ??? I thought their aim was blocked by other structures (making ret clusters fail hard)

In 1.2 they no longer have perfect accuracy, so can have a clean line of fire and still miss.
Any maps not in the MG repo?  Email me or come to irc.freenode.net/#mg.

What do you mean? 1.1 was the same--- i checked.
This is how i checked:
I put a mg turret. I put a arm nearby. I go aliens. I put godmode on. (devmap) I stand near the arm. I go slightly closer/further away in terms of sideways. I the arm gets hurt, voila.

Ignore my posts for I had identity crises.

On the double OM.  I stand corrected on how double OM may have been created.  It was probably a botched /revert, as I witnessed it happening on TWO more occasions.  Once in ATCS and then on Nano again.  This time with RC instead of OM.  In ATCS, someone maliciously placed the RC in wrong spot and then disconnected, and in Nano, the RC was being built in front of the alien base but someone deconned it and then disconnected.  When one of the admins reverted the map, the RC was back in its original location but the newly placed RC didn't disappear, thus giving humans two RC.   But still, without knowing what was going on at the time, double OM was biggest WTF moment I've had. 8)

It was a bug in the old versions of Tremulous. If you want to try it, go to a vanilla server on 1.1 and try it out there.

* First time I saw nade spam. (OK it wasn't WTF, it was more like wide-eyed "oooh, shiny!")

* Finding out MD has zoom (the WTF was for me being oblivious for so long).

* Seeing a turret commit TK for the first time.

* Seeing adv basi gas humans through the walls.

* Me as a nooby noob, Mr. naked shotty human, going down the ATCS tunnel. I turn a corner, see a dretch (another newb) coming straight at me, no evading, no jumping no nothing. I stop and shoot it in the face, once, twice, three (3) bloody times. Each time it has amazing pellet spread luck (saw it bleed) and survives. I just stood there gaping and it ran right over me. I was left thinking that must be the amazing powerful rant I'd heard people talk about.

* I was a basi alone in base on ATCS. I hear a human taunting as he comes up the tunnel. Catch a glimpse of him, he's naked. As I casually make towards the tunnel I hear a nade drop, the little bastard has thrown it in and is camping round the corner. So I wait, no hurry, I will catch him and punish him anyway, right? It explodes, I rush out of hiding and walk right into a 2nd nade. This was on a vanilla server, no other human around (only him on radar as I attacked). I never figured that one out. Best I can figure, some very weird lag spike. Lag was otherwise good (ping in the 50) and lagged server.
New to Tremulous? Look up the Wraths Newbie Server in the in-game server list.
