If it ain't broke...

[Tanken]

So last night on NA_1 we had some good times. For a few maps we had Fort Wars (sorry no screenshots of that) where both sides would build forts and then rain javelins from the sky onto the other fort. It was awesome. Then, we switch to the map pictured below.

One team decided "Hey, let's build a Small Siege Tower on the boat!" which really, was a funny idea, except...this happened....

The siege tower decided to grab the bridge (one of two entrances to their boat) and use it for god knows what reason as a dock. THEN what's even better is that when the Siege Tower elevated enough they could access the wheels, they could turn it and the entire bridge would turn with it.

I added a picture of the bridge when it started moving with people on it and while it was attached to the siege tower...

Those who were on the bridge or attempted to go across the bridge after it was removed--got stuck. Also, the bridge remained round to round attached to the Siege tower.



Great times.

Moral of the Story? Fix the fucking mod.

Never fix this!

late night battle often brings things nobody would every be dreaming about. Its like as if these mysteries are magical. Always great times, this makes crpg.

Wait, did the tower literally grab the bridge prop in the scene, and then make the bridge prop its child?  What if you resized the tower?  Would it resize the bridge prop?  Obviously, this is a bug, but it might be possible to use this for other things (siege maps with specially-designed sapping points somehow)?

This all implies the devs aren't working full-steam ahead on their own engine.

Ah man, those thrower fort wars were epic, I thought it couldn't get better until this happened.

Yes, it grabbed the bridge prop from the scene and it attached itself to the Siege Tower like a leech. Its movements were even seamless while the tower was being manipulated.


Needless to say, most of us were so in awe of this grand sight we wanted to run across the invisible bridge to touch it....but little did we know

From day one in this mod I couldn't help but wonder.......why on earth do these filthy American swines care about a mod that represents the part of history in which they didn't even exist ? I find their obsession with cRPG and similar stuff quite fascinating. They should be all about civil war & wild west instead of this men's business of hack & slash.

I'm no american... but I win even more! I'm Canadian and have even less ties to medieval combat... AND I'm mostly from Dutch heritage, and they didn't really do the whole medieval thing either! Do I win TWICE?

The same reason you like hentai and tentacle porn? Different tastes of cultures sometimes interest different people.

To tell you the truth...I'm not sure what Gnjus is trying to say. Not sure if being serious, trolling, or just being obnoxious. For the record though, Americans have just as much claim to Medieval history as a lot of Europeans do. Let's not forget, America was founded by "Pilgrim Europeans" + Some indians and of course, God himself. The rest of the people we just "Imported." Our bloodlines and interests can run just in deep into it as any other country's, besides, it's not a matter of who has claim to enjoy it--anyone can find it interesting.


That said,

I added another picture to the OP.

Maybe I am just new but wtf is the point of this thread?  And more importantly how did it get so off topic so fast?

The point is: shit is broken as fuck and needs fixing.

How it got off topic so fast is: Gnjus.
