Extreme Engineering in Tremulous

[dada]

(sorry if i placed this in wrong subforum)
post here screenshots with untypically placed buildings.
there's mine. I don't know why they are so dark. just up monitor brightness for a moment to see details :p
three screenshots from Uncreation (right side of base) made on single player without cheats(one node is bugged ) with humans stage 1 (server made by clicking "create server" button in server list )

both telenodes work well, they spawn you on height of platform, you don't even need to jump to go to platform.

another one.
on the left is fragment of platform, so you can see how low the telenode is placed, but you spawn on the top of blue light and you can walk on it like on ground

this is the bugged one you only see health-meter. You doesn't fall down when you spawn on it, you just have to do a little jump to be on safe "ground"

Enjoy and post your extreme/hardcore engineering screenshots (press f11 in game to make one)
PS. I never tried building this on multiplayer
PS2. NEVER use bug shown on latest sshoot :>

Ahh uncreation, the buggiest map of them all.
Aside from highrise.

[Lava Croft]

There have been threads like this, and your pictures sadly show nothing new. I was hoping for it though.

i think i speak for alot of people when i say.....lolz

only the model is down there, the the 'Hitbox' and every thing else is on the same lvl as you would build normaly - common glich

Rumor has it that on Karith, aliens can build an egg outside the bridge near the default base, spawn outside the map, and build the OM near the lake.  I've spent quite a while as adv granger trying to get an egg to take outside, over, or under the bridge but have never been able to find the G-spot.

Anyone with a screenshot of such an egg?

[_Equilibrium_]

rumor is correct. however, i have no screenshots of it. i know pics have been posted before, but maybe it was not on this forum.

edit: you probably don't want to do this in a serious game, as most admins would kick/ban you for that.

Eggs in cage on transit... eggs below the tunnels on, uh, that one map...

Glitches aren't cool, they ruin games. Boo. Perhaps it is fun at the beginning of a game... but we lost a really intense 50min game to glitch building... never got to finish the fight!

[n00b pl0x]

oh yes so buggy...god forbid you can actually BUILD THINGS ON LEDGES! :O

i <3 uncreation

someone who knows what theyre doing needs to speed it up and put it back into rotations

It took lestrange and I over an hour to get this egg. Basically use the acid tubes as platforms to build the egg in that spot.

Yay, you just encouraged a whole new generation of glitch builders wishing to ruin matches!

[Matt2k10]

This has been known for a while, and there aren't as many glitch builders as you would think. I haven't seen someone glitch build in over a month. There are much more devastating ways to grief :roll:

[Raytray]

Yeah but at least it can't be done in a hurry like tremor.

[Plague Bringer]

What's with all this egg in the cage crap?

Who cares when you can build outside the map?

You know the undergorund in Transit, the white light behind the landslide?

I can get you there, 5$ per ticket.

at least the humans won't be going anywhere fast

[holyknight]

lol Odin that's hilirious.

Looks like a ride in playland.

Last night on D*S at the very beginning of Tremor, someone said "Hey, lets glitch build".  No one objected, and someone (don't know if it was the same person) built crate eggs in the default base and a below-the-basement egg.  No one seemed to care much until the last regular egg was gone and all aliens spawned below the basement - then the poop hit the fan.  The humans built a node down there (but it was destroyed before it could be used, and the goons started TK'ing the grangers - barrel of laughs.

Moral: don't build outside the map, even in non-serious games.  Someone is bound to get their shorts wadded up.   I think it's fun to see what can be done, and like Matt I also almost never see it done.  But without getting consent beforehand (e.g. a successful /callvote restart "glitch building encouraged"), I wouldn't advise building outside the map.

Disclaimer: I occasionally build crate eggs on Tremor (don't see the harm), and on Arachnid2 I've seen people call eggs in the pipes glitched for reasons I don't follow (they don't seem to be overlapping any models, and they are certainly not outside the map).

Oooh - [drools].  Now I've got a new project!  (on a local server, of course!)

[Raytray]

But  building in the back of transit takes some time.

[Plague Bringer]

Not really, it only takes 3 eggs and 2 suicides by my count.

The really funny thing is, I discovered that glitch in a public game, the aliens were being overrun and I resorted to eggspam. I magically built that egg in the right spot, when I got stuck, I decided I'll see if I can get an egg further back, yeah, you can! Foobicam, I'll show you sometime, name the server.

lol that's awesome

[E-Mxp]

Omg, how do you do that??

[Plague Bringer]

I only was able to do that twice, with one building each time.

First time it was a repeater, by acciedent.

Second time it was a tesla, I was trying.

You have to build as far away from the wall as you can on one of those little ledges.

Yep, it's funny being stuck in the first egg, can't move anywhere even after deleting the egg!

Here's me on the far side.  If you walk back to the edge of the world and fall off, the screen goes crazy but you can still see the whole model shrink as you fall down to infinity.  Falling off also screws up the game - you can suicide and try to respawn, but the egg is wedged so you never get out of the queue.

[holyknight]

lol what map?

[Plague Bringer]

*sigh* Transit.

Use wallwalking and SLOWLY climb over the top from the ceiling.

Oh, and, you can't spawn from eggs outside the map?
I don't get it, what about the last one you build to reach the other side?

[Foobicam]

Thanks - I crawled up the top, wandered around, fell off a few times :-), and then found a whole new area of the map that was apparently developed and then closed off.  You can't walk past the edge of the default human base into the new area, and since I'm on a local server (with no humans to kill) I can't get advanced granger to try another egg in the new area.  (I know there is a stage variable that could be set, but didn't know what it is.  /set level 2 didn't do anything.)   Here's the new area; the edge of the human base is just visible at the bottom left.



The spawning problem was apparently a one-time thing - yesterday I sat forever on the spec screen with the wait message similar to "1 egg - you are # 1 in line".  But today I fell off the map, /killed, and spawned many times with no problems.
