Crouchbug Racing?
« on: May 24, 2008, 06:45:36 pm »
EDIT:
Crouchbug has been fixed under normal circumstances, BUT usage of a bugged weapon will still cause crouchbug to happen.


No, I'm not suggesting it as an official game mode, I'm suggesting it as a type of sub-game mode in CTF.

After playing around in fistbox with a Minimi I made which happened to have crouchbug, I had this idea when I just woke up today in the morning, which was to try to make a game mode with the crouchbug element, put together with some other stuff, like Racing. This game mode, like Climbing and the typical racing, is highly dependent on the map and scripting is optional.

So it would be like this:

On the beginning of the game, every player gets to select any weapon they want using a /weap function. Any weapon meaning it includes Flamer, Rambo Bow, etc. While choosing weapons, players will be frozen in a fixed position until a time limit is over. After the time limit, the race would begin, and players would then roll forward, enabling crouchbug to happen. Players will now race through a series of obstacles with a jet amount dependent on the map in crouchbug mode. At the end of the map, there will be two flags. First one to get there, wins. If you happen to die, you will respawn instantly at the start, or if the server's script has it, maybe a checkpoint.

All weapons have the same stats (well almost). They may shoot, but they make no difference (because there's no damage or boost). Besides, this game mode is for crouchbug, if you don't use it, you can't win it as easily as the crouchbug players. May I add that the only way you can get killed is by hitting instant-kill polys, or if the script wants it, you can add the "Berserker Kit" which you have to avoid. It's completely optional what extra stuff you want to put inside.

For crouchbug, it is quite difficult to travel through very narrow terrain (try going around inf_Industrial in crouchbug, I succeeded but it can be a little tough). It is dependent on jets too actually, because the fastest crouchbug is one that is in mid-air, so on some maps where there are low jets, you have to time your jets perfectly to be the fastest, while you have to travel slowly on the ground on certain places. Besides, I'm sure some mappers would make obstacles where you would have to fly over them.

What do you think?

This would be funny, but I at least don't know how to get the crouchbug or how it works, let alone make it happen every time I want for a server. Otherwise, this would be fun, and hilarious to watch. But isn't the point to fix bugs?

That's a really good idea 93.
I came 2ND in the inf_Industrial crouchbug race on the fistbox server with you. ^^.
The CrouchBug duckhunt was also pretty fun, maybe we could also make it a bit like the duckhunt servers.
For example: Alpha team are trying to get across the map with the crouchbug and bravo team are hiding with snipers.

Crouchbug... I'm not sure how it works, but one thing's for sure ; if you do something to your weapon in a certain way, it'd make it have crouch bug. For example, having reload 0 for the weapons.

Ya the point is to fix bugs, but why not give the crouchbug a special reason to remain?

I mean, I too hate the crouchbug in an actual fight, but I'd like to see this crouchbug remain as a way to create new game modes or whatever funny ideas. I'd like to see the bug fixed, but also have an option like /crouchbug to enter the crouchbug state for fun purposes.

Even better if you can shoot and reload in crouch bug (but will always aim straight). Imagine some kind of Gundam or Robot mod with that feature. It looks like you transform into a vehicle and start flying around XD This is just an idea, don't take this paragraph so seriously.

That's a really good idea 93.

You can get out fo the crouch bug with prone,... and there's not much chance of anyone actually Modifying a bug so you cant get out of it....

Well you can get out of the bug with prone, but still, the race's supposed to be for crouch bug, so non-crouchbug players can't go as fast as the crouchbug players. Or if you're referring to changing the bug into an actual thing, that's more like something to do with the game itself than for modding.

Yes you can, someone made an "auto-croucher" with a modification of the ak, I'll attach it later if I can find it.

It's not a bad idea 93, I mean hover-racing was a big hit when it first came out. I'm just not sure if this idea will last for long...

Code: [Select]
[Ak-74]
Damage=272
FireInterval=10
Ammo=60
ReloadTime=120
Speed=180
BulletStyle=1
StartUpTime=6
Bink=-24
MovementAcc=3
Recoil=0

Ok, I think I've found the "AK Auto croucher," someone was mucking around with it and now you crouch everytime you backflip.

It's a bug where you get stuck in the crouching position, without being able to do anything (firing your gun, reloading, etc.) except for jetting.

Basically, you enter the crouch bug, then after that you'll race through a map. You will use jets to aid you, such as helping you keep in mid-air (makes you move faster than sliding on the floor) and to get over higher obstacles.

You could put some Icy polygons in as well, I think you'd go faster then whilst sliding on the floor. You could ask some people to make some sort of prototype map, so you can test it out and see if it works out alright.

Well..
1) How do you enter crouch bug?
2) Do you automatically move forward, or do you use direction keys to direct something, or is there another way to get you moving?

1) There's a special bug for it with the AK. I think it's posted somewhere above.
2) You move in the opposite direction of your cursor automatically. Mouse down -> you go up, mouse left -> you go right, etc.

2) You move in the opposite direction of your cursor automatically. Mouse down -> you go up, mouse left -> you go right, etc.

1) It's a bug which can happen ingame sometimes. It works 100% perfectly when you make some settings to certain weapons. For example, the AK posted here. Or, you could give the chainsaw reload=0. In toumaz's fistbox, I made a Minimi with -30 speed, 1 ammo and 0 fireintrval firing plain bullets I think, and it would go into crouch bug. To enter crouch bug mode, you either BACKFLIP or ROLL.

2) Actually, it depends on which direction you began your crouch bug. If you ROLL FORWARD, you will move forward. If you BACKFLIP or ROLL BACKWARDS, you move backwards. No, it doesn't move towards your cursor. Only front or back. If you had rolled forward and point your cursor to the right, he will move right. Left, he will move left, but if you point up or down, he won't move up or down. Strictly left or right only.

So up and down is controlled by jets and gravity respectively?

Correct.

Hold on, I'm coming up with a demo to show you how the crouch bug is like.

EDIT:
I recorded a little demonstration with Fraps, 50 FPS with sound. It was 2+ Gigs in avi format, so I used windows movie maker to reduce the size by a lot (and quality too... had to sacrifice a bit). Now its about 7 MB, placed in a RAR folder it would be about 6.43 MB. Uploaded it into my ripway account. Click the link, and there you go! Happy watching!

EDIT 6/7/09:
Download link is broken.



Date Posted: 27 May 2008, 20:19:30
Btw, note that the weapon I used to demonstrate to you is a modified Minimi. The stats are:

[FN Minimi]
Damage=0
FireInterval=0
Ammo=1
ReloadTime=30
Speed=-30
BulletStyle=1
StartUpTime=0
Bink=0
MovementAcc=0
Recoil=0

Lol, thats the big problem. I wonder if there are any map makers who would even bother =/

Date Posted: 28 May 2008, 23:52:08
Alright, I guess I'm going to try and make a map myself. I'm not a map maker myself, but I guess I'll try with whatever amount of time I have. But if there are any mapmakers who are interested, you can also make some maps too.

I only request to know how to colour the polys with custom pallettes, I can't seem to use any other colour other than white or black.

EDIT:
Here's a concept of how's its gonna be like. I'll call the map cbr_testflight. Start (spawn) at pink thingy, travel, then finish at the purple flag where the flags are. Black = normal polys, Red = Kill, Blue = Ice

Well - here's what I've got for your design. Most of the polys (grey ones) are set to "hurt". The triangle marked "safe" is set to a normal poly. The red ones are bloody deadly, blue ones ice, and in the centre - the health pack which is huge, regenerates health. (although in crouchbug it will be hard to hover over it - so it won't be a huge advantage)

Anyone noticed how the crouch AK seems to not let you drop or switch weapons, and when you throw grenades he points his gun forwards but doesn't throw.   I'd love to know why this bug happens- it seems just to be a glitch that freezes the actions of a player indefinitely, which is probably why you keep moving, you keep the intantaneous velocity of the roll/backflip

I've had the crouchbug a number of times before. At first I was like "WTF" and then after that it was funny. But when you do it multiple times it gets annoying after a while.

I never knew what initiated it before I came on the forums.

This idea look cool anyhow, hope it goes well, hehe.

Because you can't script that.
Why doesn't someone figure out how then?
Cause you can't.  That's why it's called a bug.
Here's tutorital how it works: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yi1ae4kKR_o

EDIT* oh, nevermind. It seems to be found already.

Eh, a damn shame, cause even if someone was to pull this off in 1.5.0, it'll be dead, as what happened to 1.4.2 pubs, so there's no point anymore.

What about making it a feature instead of a bug? It'd be quite fun to into "hover mode" and it would be balanced too since you cant fire your weapons, can't jump and you need to aim the opposite direction to go forward.

Maybe some key combo like hitting crouch button 3 times in midair to enter crouchbug. And use prone to cancel it.

hmm.. "hover mode" sound kind of... obvious. I think it should be smth like "Buddha mode". Cause you kind of look like a floating buddha if you have a bit imagination. Plus buddhas dont shoot too, so the name is accurate too.

I dont think so, that sounds dumb.
I'm thinking of explaining it as a special system the jet boots provide the soldat.
If it needs more balancing, it could use jet fuel at 1/5 of normal jet rate to fuel the hover mode.

I'd see it really fun grabbing the flag and going into hover mode while others chase you with hovering or running. The thing so good about crouchbug is that it slides smoothly over surfaces like the soldat has no friction. And you're more packed up than standing and thus you're a smaller target to hit.

Balanced? Speed is much more important than killing in at least the CTF mode. First off, this is a terrible idea for it's own game mode. People complain about fixing bugs instead of adding new feautures. Now why would we suggest a bug BECOMING a feature? Secondly, if this HAD to be implemented, it would be nothing more than one of those special bonus boxes(pred, rambo, etc...), but that is higly doubtful and stupid as well.

Dunno, I think it might work great. Crouchbug isnt particulary super fast either and it doesnt need to be any faster. Its the smoothness of movement its great at.

A skilled player should be able to reach a hovering EFC fairly fast by sprinting and some superman boosting. And besides that, nothing is faster than the bullet.

Neither am I but its not hard to sprint across a map though.
Not to mention bullets will still be many times faster than the EFC or the chaser and not to mention that the hovering EFC cant retaliate with weapons while hovering.


On another note, I should really try becoming a SCTFL champion though. Might be fun. :D

http://bugs.soldat.pl/view.php?id=526
Quote from: EnEsCe
It is with much sadness that I bring you the following.....
The Crouch Bug is fixed in 1.5.1.10

Sorry :(

P.S that YouTube video is incredibly stupid. People have known how to do this for years, myself included.

P.P.S the reason for the certain 'spot' is the reload animation frame that the weapons 'Clip Out' animation will also play (When the sprite drops a clip to the ground), which varies for each weapon. The combination of reload, clip out, and rolling animations trying to play at once caused this bug.

Ah well, it's probably for the best... so long, crouchbug!

Yeah, I get that crouch bug in 1.5.0 every now and then, but I see it more often in bots. As a racing game, yes I'd play that :)

You could a features such as jumping over obstacles by self-launching with the M79 and such ;)

I don't recall seeing bots get into crouchbug mode under normal circumstances. However, I did see them get into crouchbug if I gave them a bugged weapon that would cause crouchbug to always happen whenever you roll with it.

I'm gonna try making a bugged weapon, see if weapon mods can still cause crouchbug...

EDIT:
BAH! Is 1.5.1.9 or 1.5.1.10 newer? 1.5.1.10 looks just like 1.5.1.1. Also, if 1.5.1.10 is newer, then why is it my beta (1.5.1.9) doesn't update?

Sorry for bumping:

Hey, tested out 1.5.1.10. Crouchbug is still possible if you use a bugged weapon such as:

[FN Minimi]
Damage=0
FireInterval=0
Ammo=1
ReloadTime=30
Speed=-30
BulletStyle=1
StartUpTime=0
Bink=0
MovementAcc=0
Recoil=0

Otherwise, crouchbug doesn't occur.

The mix of animations did it, and the reload time is one of the factors how long the reload anim is happening.

I crouchbugged yesterday. I cant remember which weapon I was using, (but must be minimi or Deagles.. only weaps I use) but it was on Leo's Ctf. I just backflipped to the edge of a hill then rolled off right into it. Then I proceeded by flying all the way to the enemies base.. b4 getting owned b4 I could even pick up the flag.. good times..
