crystals Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 Playing CTF tonight on a saber only v1.02 server there were 3 guys that were able to float around where ever they wanted and "stand" on the sky. I was chasin after one of them and he jumped up and kept jumping up till he was standing on the sky (for lack of better words), then he floated in a spiral pattern down to the ground. Their names were Obi-wan-pimp, TuPac, and Akuma something. Needless to say it totally ruined the fun of everything. To top it off all they did was spam DFA Anyone else ever seen this? Found my reason to download the new patch...if that even helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grafox Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 Ok, I guess that this happened in the ctf_yavin map. Cuz there are some invisible objects on which you can stand "in the sky" there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xzzy Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 I saw someone do this on some 3rd party map last night. It sounded like he was repeatedly jumping (I was in spectate mode at the time, following him), and he slowly drifted down from a higher platform. Thought it was some bug in the map, guess not heh.

crystals Posted May 21, 2002 Author Share Posted May 21, 2002 Okay I don't think I explained it right..cause I'm pretty positive it wasn't the lunge thing. I don't know the name of the map so I'm just gonna do my best to describe it. It's the map with the 3 big courtyards. The red couryard that holds the flag...the blue couryard that holds the flag...then the big courtyard in between with the sentry gun in the middle (on non saber only servers). It was done in the big couryard in the middle. You know how you can jump up on the ledges above the entry ways into the tunnels heading to the other courtyards? He would jump up on that ledge which is normal...but then he would keep jumping up all the way up to the top of the map where no one else could go. Like someone earlier said...looked like he was standing on an invisible platform up there. He was the only one that could get up there though. I figured it was probably a normal thing that he figured out and no one else had...until he floated down. He just started floating...no lunge move or anything. Floated in a slow spiral pattern all the way to the other side of the courtyard. I've been playing this game a while and thought I'd seen everything..guess not hehe.

Twins of Doom Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 was it by any chance g_gravity set to something funky by the server? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GanJahMan Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 I run a server and there was a person doing it on just about all the ffa maps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodster2003 Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 Its called the featherfall, and its quite fun once you get the hang of it. The problem is i forget about it when im playing ns_streets, and i jump like 20 stories instead of floating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is i forget about it when im playing ns_streets, and i jump like 20 stories instead of floating. quite possibly do you mean instead of floating its falling? haha i use that all the time (crouch+forward+attack *blue stance*) i love it for great falls and its a crowd pleaser cause automatically people say "i'm" cheating, plus if done correctly you lose no hp or shlds, and it looks reall nice with the new released fett/mandalorian models, it makes them look like they are actually maing use of their jetpacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystals Posted May 23, 2002 Author Share Posted May 23, 2002 I don't think it was the g_gravity thing. It must have been the forwar crouch lunge thing I guess. The part I was most confused about was how he got up to "the invisible ledge" way up high. I couldn't get up that high no matter what. When he got on the ledge above the tunnel it looked like he sped up and jumped really quick about 4 or 5 times. I tried everything and couldn't duplicate it. I forgot to mention that everyone was complaining that those same people's sword attacks were doing too much damage too. I can't really confirm that but it would support the accusation of cheating hehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDF h36hYp3r21 Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 only logical thing about how they got up there is wall climb the sucka it is possible yah know?....im going to try it right now ill let you know how it goes CTFmaps correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 You wall walk up the pillars. I found that the first day i was playing, pretty sure i was the first person. Reason it works is cause you go up for a certain distance across, but there's a wall there so you never quit going up. Reason you can 'stand on the sky' is cause its not really sky, its an untextured pillar that goes all the way up there but ends just before the ceiling. In JK we called that 'roofing'. You can do similar things on all the levels except for garrison. BTW, was that _WC_Akuma? Lucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Derski Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 use wall climb to get up there as for the floating I dont know how to do that but I think it has something to do with "bunnyhopping" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystals Posted May 24, 2002 Author Share Posted May 24, 2002 It was one of the CTF maps, SDF. I'll keep checking back to see how your test went I honestly don't think it was wall walking and in the middle courtyard I don't recall seeing any pillars? When he went up the wall...first he jumped on the ledge above the hallway...above that ledge the wall sort bends diagonally...he ran and jumped really fast diagonally up the wall. I really wish I coulda made some sort of short movie of him doing this cause I was standing right next to him when he did it hehe. The guy's name wasn't W_C Akuma...it was something like Akuma'sRevenge....Akuma (yellow) Revenge (red). If anyone finds out how to do this lemme know...I wouldn't use it like he did...he sat up there with the flag where no one could get him. I would just like to get up there once to take a neat screenshot! Just edited to say thanks for trying to figure this out for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacenSolo2001 Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 I'd be interested in a movie or pics of how to get up to these invisible platforms, I've not seen it happen yet personally, but it sounds neat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 err, pillars = the things jutting out of the wall. Its on yavin, its fairly easy to do. You just wall walk up the sides of them. there's a big flat wall, then there are what looks like support pillars running up along the outside of it all the way to the top. Well the middle one on the red side is flagged as nodraw, so its really there but you can't see it. It doesn't extend all the way to the top, so you can wall walk up it and get on top of it. feh Lucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UsagiYojimbo Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 It's not really hard to do and I didn't think it was a cheat. I usually show people who ask me how I got up there how to do it. I've only done it on the ctf_yavin map and , like a previous post mentioned, it does seem like you are walking on air but it really is just an untextured object that soemone can stand on.

Lucky Posted May 26, 2002 Share Posted May 26, 2002 You can do similar things on the other maps, excluding garrison. Most of them involve a weapon jump. Lucky PS: in JK we called that 'roofing' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
