Title: Floating
Post by: BonzaiRob on September 25, 2005, 10:45:47 pm
I just spent a happy half an hour playing with a glitch; if I jumped or flew, my character kept going up to the top boundary of the area, then floated gently back down again with no damage taken. It eventually crashed when I tried to get onto a balcony, and it said I was out of bounds.

Anyway, it started after last time playing, I had the camera spaz out on me in the cotage in the woods (you take the right road from Hydlaa). I was going up the spiral staircase, then I tried to jump of the tiny little balcony in there onto one of the beams, or something, I don\'t really remember.

Well, I started PS up again, and I was in the cottage. I decided to go up the staircase all the way. The staircase turned into a ladder, and when I tried to jump up there, it told me I was out of bouds (repeatedly), then said that I failed trying to fly and badly injured myself. Anyway, it took me to hell.

The controls started to glitchy a bit, so I would get stuck walking forward. I fell of the bridge, and used /unstick. Had to do that a few times. I made it back into Hydlaa, and went into the temple. I went to teh top floor, then it started glitching so I would be stuck running around in circles on teh cieling. Again, I used /unstick. Alot. Eventually, I died somehow by that too.
So then I was back in hell, same control glitches, but this time when I tried to jump, so \'break\' whatever was making it stuck on walking, I carried on going.

I went up and down a few times in hell, then got to Hydlaa. I told Alos about it, so he told me to take some screenshots. Average of 90 k.

Up we go! (http://www.carnivorous-cow.co.uk/floating/7.jpg)

Wheee! (http://www.carnivorous-cow.co.uk/floating/1.jpg)

What a lovely view. (http://www.carnivorous-cow.co.uk/floating/2.jpg)

I see you running about down there! (http://www.carnivorous-cow.co.uk/floating/3.jpg)

I stepped off the floor and found I could fly! (http://www.carnivorous-cow.co.uk/floating/4.jpg)

Right, I\'m going up there... (http://www.carnivorous-cow.co.uk/floating/5.jpg)

...And this is where I got stuck. (http://www.carnivorous-cow.co.uk/floating/6.jpg)

did you try to \"fly\"? whenever i try to \"fly\" i get glitch like that, if thats the case, It\'s better not to use the \"fly\" or else everything will screw up

No, the majority was simply jumping... now that you mention it, I think it might have happened the first time after using Fly.

if you start playing and you use \"fly\" you will get that glitch, the only way to resolve it is to restart your client and stop yourself from using the \"fly\" :p

As stfrn said, \"flight is still unstable.\" Any use of /fly can result in... bad things happening. So don\'t use /fly. :P
