emprworm Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 i just discovered another bug right now- 10 minutes ago. This is the worst yet. Some of you might know about a bug discovered a month or so ago that gives a player the ability to kill units from anywhere on the map. Well this one is even worse because I can literally wipe out your con yard in about 10 seconds- all from the privacy of my base- clear accross fisher plain. i can kill any unit, any time, anywhere on the map, and do it with lightning speed. How this bug went unnoticed for so long is beyond me. It is bugs like this which is why I would never play QM or Clan. You know, I was thinking- perhaps this bug HAS been discovered by other people. Maybe that is why some people are so "unbeatable." Well lets see- I now know of two completely seperate bugs that allow a player to "remote kill" units from long, long range. And if those bugs exist, then I am quite sure other ones that I don't know about exist- perhaps even "super-speed" building. I wish this game is supported, cuz these bugs are just horrible.

And yet more people could cheat. :P If it is found out then people could use it. My guess is its with the flame tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gobalopper Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 emprworm pass them onto me and I will see if the beta tester I know from IG remembers them. Could be another, "oh we knew about that but never fixed it," bug. ::) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navaros Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 hey gob can you get said beta tester to explain to us why the Ref Waypoints and numerous other harvesting bugs were never fixed as the 1.09 PROMISED they would be? as well as countless other pathfinding bugs related to unit movement?

Gobalopper Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 Well he hasn't worked at IG for almost a year now so it wouldn't do much good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneezer3 Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 [quote author=ken124578 nav. i think i know why you have problems with the harv. bug.1. do not direct your harvesters to an spice field let them harvest their own way else this happenes: you direct your harvesters to the field you want them to go and if there are 3 harvesters at the same time that want to unload the spice from the field where YOU directed them to go to then 1 go's in the middle the second in the left side and the third will clump in the spot where the first harvester is unloading...well was unloading... What he said in another thread. :)Only 3 harvesters per spice area. He said that before to. and he was right three. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrd3m0n Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 Hm I know of 1 bug that allows you to kill units from a distance. It can even be used to damage/destroy buildings.So I know Emp isn't bullshitting.Lol Nav thinks he knows all the bugs that can be found, but I can say that if you think so, you are just as much of a clueless no0b as you like to call everyone else LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3m0nger Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 Yeah i know the bug, atleast.. I know how 2 destroy buildings from a far distant..But thats not undiscoverd, U see it every day.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzi0n Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 Yeah i also now how to destroy building from a far. What gunships not a bug?? oh sorry nevermind.. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3m0nger Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 Ok here's ONE of the bugs i know,[hide] get a group of gun ships, target the ground with CTRL, then, when they're about to fire, Re-click on a hostile building/unit, it wil automatically fire at the building/unit and it wil fly ALL over the map, [/hide]It also worked in RA1 that was fun 500 grenade units, BOOM byebye Base hehehe lol...But don't worryI know many more :PGreetzavatar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CERBERUS Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 man iv never heard of such bugs..some of us play the game and win with skill rather than looking for game exploits. Emprworm always seems to come up with these glitches i wonder why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navaros Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 'scuse me sneezer but did you read the README file for 1.09 ????It says Ref Waypoints are designed to allow you to CONTROL your harvesting HOWEVER YOU LIKE. It doesn't say ANYTHING about 3 harvs per spice field and nor should it. That completely RUINS the gameplay and highly unbalances the game AGAINST ATR. I should be allowed to have 30 harvs in one spice field if I so choose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IxianMace Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 Spice fields do run out if they're being harvested before the pre spice mass can explode you know. Just run over the spice mound to get more spice in that case. The longer you wait (i.e. the bigger you let the spice mound grow,) the more spice you'll get in the field when the mound explodes. However if you have too many harvesters in the one spice field, then of course its going to run out fairly quickly and the harvesters will automatically look for other sources of spice, which unfortunately, yes, could be the enemy spice field etc, etc. This really can't be helped. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emprworm Posted November 11, 2002 Author Share Posted November 11, 2002 ok, I IM Gob the bugs. these are for real, sorry Nav. You lose this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
