I'm not sure if this is officially known as a Bug yet, but I felt like reporting it anyway. ;]

    Not a bug, a feature! Bust out pistol with laser for additional rave effects.

    Don't you know that RR stands for the rave room?

    The rave party room. It still exists.

    I'm pretty sure this is more of a "local client" bug as I don't think other players see the effect when you try to "seizure flash" them.

    So for the time being, it's one of those "just don't do it" kind of bugs.

    On the other hand, I thought that it could be refined and added as a "tactical strobe light" to blind aliens or something lol. Would be fun.

    Someone needs to make a map with a rave room in the ready room as a hidden area. I believe ns_shiva had one.

    All we need is some kid actually having a seizure from that flashlight to cause it to not be funny :P

    +1 for feature instead of bug.

    Feature! I like it so much, after map change and on the next map, I'm bad to goto console and do "j1;rr" so I can par-tay!

    Eh, I've had a medication-induced seizure. 3 grand in medical bills and a week missed from work before a neurologist could prove to the satisfaction of my employer that it wouldn't happen while I was driving one of our ambulances was a pretty expensive way to decide to stop taking a medication, and I got lucky enough to not bite the tip of my tongue too badly or do something bad like aspirate blood and choke to death while seizing. If fixing this "feature" is a simple coding effort, it's probably worth it.

    lol how can there be a hidden area if everybody can open the map with the sdk? ;-)

    It's not local, I checked it with another player. It is the same in third person.

    +1 for feature, not bug.


    (It rocks in dark rooms. And it's funny how my teammates try pressing 'f' fast to do the same - Them: 'clock,clock,clock' Me: 'DRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR')
