It's not that I don't care about the X800/6800. It's just I already know about them.

Not that I'm stupid enough to buy the first models of a new gen of cards anyway. 

things about noclipping scrags and shamblers that appear to have a large hole between their legs, suitable for rockets to pass through ...

But as metl says, it's usually easier to take them down with other guns, e.g. Perforator or DBS. 

I've noticed that the polyps pass into walkways and pillars in the polyptest map, though I thought that was something to do with refinements needed for the invisibility behaviour.
Scrags do odd things sometimes too, but I've never seen 'em pass right through solid architecture, usually just into stuff. 

I've noticed the scrag/shambler problems before, even back when I was running standard quake.exe with no mods (back in the day!) these things still happened, rockets passing through the shambler is especially common.

No idea why it happens though, doesn't happen on any other enemies.

You're just stupid enough to make fun out of people who are interested because they are so below you.

Intelligent and thought provoking, keep it up. 

In RPGSP1, after you grab the gold key, on your way back to the start area there are some scrags that spawned in. If you hang back after they see you, they like to clip out into the void. One time that happened and it followed me around all the way to the exit, but never clipped back into the playable space. I always thought it had something to do with the funky rock architecture at that spot, but I've since noticed it in a few other maps. 

I've never encountered either bug - but then I use DarkPlaces. Scrags are the only monsters that have the FL_FLY flag set. The combination of that and MOVETYPE_STEP might do it.

And now, the question you've all been waiting for...

Tried it with a different engine? 

i've seen the grenades through shamblers bug in:
glquake
winquake
fitzquake
tomazquake
tenebrae/industri

haven't tried it in darkplaces though... maybe by using the quakeworld code (that's what darkplaces is based off of, right?) the problem was fixed... 

Seems to be fairly common at least in large maps.

not only in large maps, I noticed that once even in my small sm57se map 

do that too. In gmsp3 if you provoke but don't kill the fish in the moat near the beginning sometimes they'll appear popping in & out of pillars later on inside the castle on the same horizontal level. 

Swim, swim, hungry! ...Stupid fish. 

:o

...and those damn stupid fish...

I got a few return to senders when I attempted to e-mail you this week. The address is still valid, nyet? 

But keep an eye out: I intend putting up an an Absolutely The Last Beta tonight. 

<nt> 

since i got broadband, my old host deleted my webspace/account, so i put up a minimal temporary page at http://userpages.umbc.edu/~roneil2 for my few maps and things. 

I tried to email fatty@planetquake.com too about beta testing, it didn't bounce but I didn't get a reply either!

Maybe you're having email issues... or maybe you just don't like me.. *sob* 

I can't log into FTP either. Times out. 

Since everyone else is having trouble mailing you, Fatty, did you get my two mails from a week ago? 

Ages ago I made a 'realism' mod called Black Ops. I've finally gotten around to uploading it again in a single zip file, so here it is (evileplanet):

Yeah, and I found out what was causing that crash too. I tried sending you a message with a fixed-up progs, but it got bounced.

I've still got some stuff to reskin and I've removed that stuck ogre.

I don't know what's wrong with FTP or email. I haven't been able to FTP to anything, and I got not only a test message I sent myself, but a spam as well. 

Oops. My mailbox was probably full. It should work now. Sorry about that. 

I just found out that I had the servername wrong. Final Ontranto beta going up now. Emails forthcoming. Shows what happens when you skim tech announcements.
