No...CP2 didn't fix glassing...either that or its a client side fix. Go ahead and fix crackshooting too, though. (I thought the BI sniper server allowed it, but apparently Wiener or Reffy thought otherwise. Razz)


P.S. Wiener, could you verify that that's correct with a post here? Don't want to be caught passing on bad info...as all I know is that Gwynzer said on IRC that Wiener or Reffy decided it was a no go.

lmfaoo, this isn't a glitch? Every time you kill someone using this, you pretty much get banned for using "spectate mode", why? Because your shooting thro walls while not lagging...but ya WW intended that!!! x=yz=*jmk2o0983-/renegay2083=it was intentional.

I don't see how you're shooting through a wall with this. There is clearly a gap.

Glass shooting (not going to say how because abunch of ppl will do it) is when u shoot through the glass of one tunnel and hit a target in another tunnel, which is a glitch obviously.

Glassing is clearly an exploitable glitch: we (BI/TK2) have banned someone for it once already. Crackshooting, on the other hand, is debatable.

The cracks in the walls on Islands were designed by Westwood purposely to keep the players from camping those pillars... why should that be "fixed"?

Ya, I can agree with that. Funny thing is most sniping servers don't "allow" it, just like they don't allow "hugging" (lol?), but im guessing they will leave it and just make a non-cp2 fix fo shooting thro the glass.

It isn't a glitch. Plus people that hide like that deserve to be shot at anyways.

The space between the pillar and the glass (or wall) where you can shoot through to hit people behind the pillar.

Try posting a screenshot. Some of us haven't played since 05 and likely forgot exactly where it is that you're talking about.

Kinda hard to see but you can see the bulletholes on the ground, they're on the other side of the pillar. That's the crack that can be shot through.

Mike just forgot to extend the pillar geometry to the sides, consider it an unfortunate bug in the level design. He's a tad on the absent minded side from what I recall and Noddingham (I never did release that, come to think of it) had some issues that were comparable to that glitch on Islands. There's a few other issues I won't bother listing here for the sake of preventing more problems from cropping up. Wink

Ah. We were thinking it was intentional, but I guess not. So, fixing this for TT would be A-OK by me.

I'm not sure it would be priority for the (first) TT patch, anyway.

fix glass shotting, crack shotting should be left alone (because it was clearly intended, but shooting thro the glass walls wasn't).

I know the man who made Islands, it was most definitely not intended to be in the game. It seems pointless to have pillars to hide behind if you can be shot easily while doing so.

As mentioned before, so people couldn't stand their during the entire map, it makes sure you aren't invisible there. And its impossible to say exactly what the level modelers were thinking, and the majority vote is to leave it, I could go on.
