They are known by a lot of people, but they seems to be (ab)used more than often nowadays (especially on dnagames :) ). The bugs make it possible to hide in the wall/rock. So maybe it's time to get rid of them in the new soldat version. It's quite annoying when some smart guy with the flag decides to camp 15 minutes in a wall/rock.

Those are the 2 mapbugs:

If you get the Soldat Fix it wont happen as much to you, it depends on others if they want to get it, Soldat 1.1.6 should fix that bug i hope, im sure people have e-mailed michal about the problem.

Hmm, yes , but i don't talk here about getting stuck accidentally. There are a few spots/spaces where you can fly (and 'glide')into the wall (forethought !) and by example snipe from inside the wall (or like i said, take some rest with the flag in hand)...

I only saw people doing that in Ctf_run ...

And also, that bug in Bunker which allows you to get to the top and snipe downwards from the thin roof.

Well, if you are going to report the,, and that's the only way they'll ever get fixed, then it's probably for the best if you don't do it publicly.

Either email or PM Michal, me, or I dunno who deals with the mapping issues lol

Hercule Poirot: why dont you report that

i was planning to report (maybe) but my goal was to get at least 1 bug in each map

damn i thought i make huge topic where i explain word by word how you get up and how to get off (with screenshots too) and ppl start calling me Hercule Poirot aka "Polygon Bug Master" but i have to wait 1.16 if michal has fixed few bugs on maps also i have send michal few pm he never did answered to those nothing >:| or i just could keep those bugs just to myself not telling you anyone :) weeeell i have showed few bugs on my server to those who was there at the moment you lucky b4$t4rd$ :)

but anyway when i think theres only few polygs that you can really abused

3/4 of them are in run
2(both sides) in fortress
1 in bunker
1 in b2b if you get right place
1 in voland maybe 1 other but its hard to get there
yep i think there was all under 10

Yes, that bug is what I mean, trying going farther left where the roof gets thinner, and prone with barret...

Sure, if it's abused it's crap, but it can be fun otherwise :)

But yes, I did know you can shoot people from there, but that's not what I meant by it's fun :P lol

Good, it can be fun for a while , like most misuses in the begin.

I played yesterday on dnagames, ctf_kampf, with the 'funny' bug up there. From the 10 present players, about 5 players were trying to find the 'miraculous passage' (One find it, and couldn't stop telling how great it was).
Of course you got a lot of attention and that's obviously what they need.

I think the 'fun-period' is over and it's time to get finally rid of those mapbugs. It probably need a lot of work, i can imagine that, but when it's fixed it'll take competition to a higher level again :) (like every bug-fix)

And ow yeah, when you reading this topic to get more information about mapbugs to try them out... test them in your own server not in public servers. I'm pretty sure Kruger and Dutch will give you the attention you need.
