Know issues

[Glubbable]

Leaving a list of currently known bugs that should be looked into and fixed.

• Civi ghost [RESOLVED]

Players that lag out instantly become solid to everything as soon as they become resynced with the game, giving them the ability to get stuck in players and block bosses.

(While civi ghosts are no longer solid to players, they are still solid to bosses and can activate stuff they shouldn't be able to, such as trap buttons in Forgotten Tomb)

• Page music restarting during the escape's custom music If a player gets chased by a boss with chase or alert music, the page music will resume playing during the escape period if the map is using custom escape music
• HDR enabled maps crashing clients Any maps that have HDR enabled will crash clients during the changing level process, while this looks like an endless loading loop, it eventually ends with the client crashing once it reaches sending client info.
• Having PvP collisions enabled will make red nonsolid This leads to issues where bosses can get stuck inside players, happens the most often when a player attempts to stun a boss.
• Dynamic entities causes navigation issues Dynamic brushes such as func_doors cause the bosses to become confused when navigating, despite the state of the door being either dead or open, the boss is still convinced that the door is still closed or is still blocking its possible path and therefore refuses to go forward. This can easily be seen on older versions of Abyss or Atomics.
• Type 1 bosses Depending on the map, most often type 1 bosses will refuse to spawn and on harder difficulties such as insane will suffer from a massive speed boost, causing them to instant kill anyone they spawn on if the reaction time isn't within a split second of hearing their movement sounds.
• Dynamic anger rates breaking boss spawns on Insane Any boss that happens to have an anger rate that is higher or lower than 1.0 will suffer from spawn issues, this is mainly noticed when a boss is given an anger rate lower than 1.0. So far setting the anger rate to just 1.0 only and not making it increase resolves these spawn issues.
• Deathcam overlays not playing correctly Sometimes the overlays will be played either on the last frame of their animation or on the second frame. Causing it to appear glitchy. For example, an overlay is 18 frames per second, the overlay time is set to 0.6, which apparently translates to a second however the overlay screen will sometimes play on either frame 1 or 18 instead of 0. Leaving it always 1 frame off, making it look glitchy. Is this unintentional or only intended for looping overlays?
• Bosses will not attack props if they are set to do so Bosses that have the ability to attack props set within their profiles will refuse to attack any props, they can however damage the props if they hit a player that is standing next to a breakable prop, but will refuse to attack them if there is no player standing next to it.
• Red player disconnects during grace period, forcing 2 people in instead of 1 This one kinda self explains, basically whenever someone disconnects during their turn during the grace period it pretty much forces two players in instead of just one.

These are just some of the issues that I could remember, having encountered them many times on my server(s) and during private playtesting, it's worth looking into some of them, like the ghost exploit that has been plagued the gamemode for awhile now.

Also appears to be a second issue with deathcams, sometimes you can get stuck in the deathcam phase and you'll never be killed until the round time runs out.

L 09/17/2014 - 21:44:11: [SM] Plugin encountered error 15: Array index is out of bounds L 09/17/2014 - 21:44:11: [SM] Displaying call stack trace for plugin "sf2.smx": L 09/17/2014 - 21:44:11: [SM] [0] Line 128, sf2/npc.sp::NPCGetProfile() L 09/17/2014 - 21:44:11: [SM] [1] Line 3349, sf2/client.sp::Timer_ClientResetDeathCam1()

To give some context on this, the boss that this occures with is Classic Slender, which is a type 0 teleporting boss, maybe its glitching out with this type of boss if it removes itself?

Making the deathcam time shorter prevents the glitch though, but it would be nice to have it functioning fully.

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=316025187 Rare FOV bug? Or maybe more common than we think. Appears to happen everytime he connects to the server.

Appears making them set their fov_desired to 90 will resolve this issue

There is now an exploit to bypass the player limit on a queue group. You basically just have to be one short from the max players and then send as many group invites as possible. While it doesn't force the whole amount in, their queue points don't get reset so they end up playing continously.

[RESOLVED]

After the recent Scream Fortress event this year, ghostmode is now being forced into thirdperson. Maybe it could be optional have to keep the thirdperson for clients or force it back to how it use to be.

Anothing thing is that the PvP is no longer syncing players hitboxes.
