Question: which fix do you want?
being able to shoot through the "grid"
remove railgun
replace with something else say nailgun,lightning, or hey maybe battlesuit
put a trap similar to tourney6ish_ctf
some sort of hazard on the platform(lava,slime,electricity)
remove platforms and have the railgun suspended
move the platforms behind that base and extend the whole map
moving platforms? (this idea needs work)

Or maybe just implement anti-camping, say if you remain on the same platform longer than 30 seconds you die and you can't respawn for 30 seconds. Seems like that one feature would sort out many maps.

Problem isn't only people who stay on railplatform, but people who rail from defense.
Once you have not much ammo you can kill yourself (or let yourself be killed) and respawn with full rail ammo (10) which is a bit too much.

was it schlorri that made a change where the dropped weapon only contained as much ammo as the player had when he dropped it? i think that was an excellent patch. might have been for q3min though. i would like to see that implemented. it's strange that a used weapon contains as much ammo as a weapon picked up at the weapon's spawn place.

Wasn't OpenArena supposed to do not change such "rules" from Q3A?

I'm not sure that changing a general rule to fix camping in one specific map would be a great idea...
Even if saying that a dropped weapon should have only the remaining ammo from the previous player has got sense... we all know that Q3 is meant to be a fast, dynamic "arcade" game, not to be a realistic "simulation" ... in general, I suppose that picking up a weapon with 1 or 2 ammo would be useless...

Default gameplay shouldn't be changed, but has already been changed with independent fps physics.

That's the point of this feature ! Cheesy
I'd vote to see it implemented as a server-side cvar too, not only because of this particular problem but because that could bring some more advanced strategies into gameplay.

I know it's not about balance, but somehow I can never land on that rail platform on 125 fps physics from the middle. I always fly over. Cool

This is some kind of balance, actually... and this happens with stock, um3 and Udi's version.

You have some air control with the vanilla Q3 physics too (not as much as with CPM), just push the backwards button while in the air, and you will slow down.

Never mind, my fault.

I thought I should go forward to reach that platform not backward.

Hell, for 5 years I did it wrong...

It was a long time ago, so correct me if I'm wrong, are these the changes we all agreed to do?
- make railplatforms shoot-trough
- make BFG platform smaller
- make the two portals symmetric

It's okay for me.
But, scrolling back the thread, I've found a post with some feedback from Cacatoes that mentioned that bfg platform has already been reduced in some beta (and mentioned rocketlauncher problems at 125fps physics?)...

- RL is at right height with current physics, so it's fine.
- Symetry of teleporters doesn't annoy me and I actually like it since it gives 2 different ways to practice tricks.
- Agreed for the rest
- There were also the "protections on RL platforms", but I haven't tested them in real conditions.

I have a glitch which I can't figure out (happens with the previous unaltered maps too):



Maybe it's the Netradiant version I'm using (20110819), because I also have problems with compiling. Anyway, we don't have much time for that, so a more experienced mapper should overtake the job!

Version 5 (glitched):
- jumppad arrows are properly colored (blue/red according where they lead)
- walls on RL platforms removed
- no bot support
- no levelshot
Package (.map included): z_oactf4ish2_v5.pk3

I'd like to do it, but I'm not capable.

I suppose we have to hope Neon Knight or someone else may find the time to do it. But I see Neon is already doing much work on maps on these days, I don't know if he will have the time to take fix this one, too.
Let's hope...

Looks like it was a NetRadiant problem, because compiling with GtkRadiant works well:
http://download.tuxfamily.org/openarena/upload/z_oa_ctf4ish2_v6.pk3

PK3 includes the aas, bsp, map, shader and arena file.
aas was created, bsp were changed, other files are untouched.

thx cacatoes for web space Wink

I will try this evening.

PS: you missed http:// at the beginning of the url. I really don't like this behavior of recent web browsers that do not show the protocol part of URLs... it brings to such problems!

I tried it out. It seems that all works fine (bots,too) but I am missing textures on some jumppads... maybe you took textures from the new patch? (i havent it in)

I have no problem with the jumppad textures on this map (v6 from Peter), even if I remove the patch.

I'm curious of what that shoot-through-grid will give in real match condition, we can both shoot from ground to top and from up to ground, I suspect it's for the good :p
