Res Tower In Wrong Place

Paq · February 2003

Nice bug <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>
It was in a correct place first, but when i chomped it once, it jumped a bit at right...

Hehe. Course then theres the part on that same map outside of marine spawn (not the catwalk res, but the other one nearby), that alien resource towers seem to lie on their side. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

that is weird... I noticed this happens with lots of things...and especially in bast (is that bast with feedwater and everything)
And onceI was in atmospheric processing, in that... atmospheric processing thingy (where there's light) I leapt on one of those little things right on top of their tf and phase. So I said, let's go fade and that <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>
But then I just fell down and found myself massacred like a little unevolved fade-in-the-egg. It was funny tho <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'> I think I could walk too...

I've had a RT drop & build in the wrong place on Nancy once as alien. Was pretty crazy. It was the nozzle outside of cargo hold (above mess hall ladder). I didn't even notice until later when somebody pointed it out.

So it is true....
And maybe after few months RT's learn how to run, when someone shoot/bite at them <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'>

Then eventually they'll start fighting back.

I can see it now, a clueless marine, knifing away at a seemingly defenseless RT, suddenly it punches him in the face, and he dies.

Gordon · February 2003

I can imagine...the marines holding up one hive, suddenly, the door opens and a group of RTs get in and start killing everyone, lol.

Well i wasn't sure in what forum I should put this <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'>
And i saw that there are other screenshot topics (Turret Farms, Cool Screenshots, etc) in this forum, so...

DG-MATRIX-TPF · February 2003

I have seen both of these happen on a bunch of different map's. It has to be a bug in the map's. Hear's a good one have you ever seen some newbie gorg put a offince tower over a rc port. YOu want to just kill the gorg your self. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'>

Howdy kids... I was going to post my own bug when I came across this thread.

Basically, I was going to build an RT in Reactor Room in Tanith when lo and behold, the RT came down on the wrong spot. I built it there when my command told me to hang out a moment... The following picture is the result. I cut it down for size but can post the whole screenshot if needed.

I would like to know if anyone else has tried placing a second RT on the open spot after the original RT moves. I don't know if we were getting any extra resources from it (didn't think to check)

*edit, kind of dark, sorry about that.

TheHornet · March 2003

does it give you the res of two towers... this could become a bad exploit if so.

Fennec_Fox · March 2003

I'm not sure how the devs did it, but as far as my understanding is...

RNs do not give resources at intervals.
RNs are a place to build RTs. (Like vespene gysers from StarCraft)
The RTs themselves give res.
But RTs cannot (normally) be constructed off of an RN.
Therefore, yes, this COULD become an exploit.
One of the more interesting things I've seen is one resnode that actually had two resource towers on it. I was a marine and knifing one RT, when that one died, lo and behold, a second, full HP RT appeared from out of nowhere! All of my honed Marine instincts said just one thing at that point...

"WTHX? H4X!"
