Extreme Ns_bast Exploit

SnappleS · January 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">Base bile bombing, not stoppable</div> I just went into a game on ns_bast. There was an alien who had figured out an exploit on the map I hadn't seen before. He got under the elevator at base and was bile bombing the CC and all structures. We couldn't kill him. We tried shooting him, knifing him, nading him, using turrets, everything, but all failed. Imminently, we lost. I hate **obscenity** people who think **obscenity** like that is funny.

Bast is the one with the big honkin' elevator and the cramped marine spawn right?

fwd-Random · January 2003

you mean the elevator upto the CC console? not the huge elevator down to double res?.

If it was under CC elavator he probably just got randomly stuck there rather than it being a specific exploit by intention.

SnappleS · January 2003

NO NO NO. I mean the 2 elevators IN THE BASE ROOM that don't work. He was under the left one, if you're facing them from the CC. He was shooting bile bombs through the bottom of it and hitting any structure at base he pleased.

And I'm sure he knew how to do it time and time again, because he global-messaged "marines look at elevators at your spawn."

Parasite · January 2003

are you talking about NS_Nothing?

SemperFi · January 2003

why do people never take demos/screenshots or at least a condomp. FFS alls you have to do is type record_demo or something like that.

SnappleS · January 2003

yeah I think it was ns_nothing. My apologies

uranium_235 · January 2003

No eelvators in marine spawn on nothing. It's Bast.

And yes, Fades can shoot through solid objects if they're close enough.

Pi_Gi · January 2003

Elevators that don't work?

eclipse? but urgh.... sounds like that sucked. Although, a repostion of CC and portals is always good.

geldonyetich · January 2003

Not too much of an exploit IMHO.

If the aliens have bile bomb, you've probably already lost.

uranium_235 · January 2003

I've put it into bug reports that fades can shoot through some solid objects. I've tested it on elevators, windows and other such things.

Pi_Gi · January 2003

Well... we all know the marines cheap li'l trick on nancy....
and fades can stick their head through that window and bb everything... so....

Sirus · January 2003

There are two elevators that dont work on nothing. One across from the CC and the other across from the starting RT.

Parasite · January 2003

DUDE ITS FRIIGIN NS_NOTHING!
those 2 useless little nooks are lifts that dont function.

Legionnaired · January 2003

The function is:

record <filename, w/o extentions or path>

It's not that hard, I usually did it every game when i played firearms JIC I went on a knife rampage.

Apparently marines get grenade launchers, and they like, hurt aliens, apparently.

You can bounce grens inbetween the wall and elevator sides, and that = dead fade. If they can't do that, well then honestly they deserve to lose, because unless somehow being behind some flimsly thin floor like that also somehow transports you to some magical fairly land of invincibility, it's no problem.

relsan · January 2003

i still want a picture.

peacekeeper · January 2003

It's not hard, I won't say how to stop the dimwitted exploiting it for now. No doubt the dev team know of the bug, as I'd guess many fades have been wasted due to it.

We tried that too, but respectively the nades just fell through the bottom of the map.
