As it's not a bug, I'd say no. As Chris knows this is a known exploit, he's suggesting a fix. It's not a bad Idea but the Dev's do have a semi-fix that is being worked on.

Chris, If you see players using this exploit, be sure to notify the server admins. Utilising exploits is frowned upon and is just as bad as hax IMO.

Of course it's possible. We know that the BF2 engine won't allow textures on both sides of a poly but if the mesh was altered so that there is an inner set of polys, it'd work.

It'd be a bodge of a fix but as Chris has said, a simple suggestion to stop an exploit.

So if it cant be done whit the BF2 engine its hardcoded, and hardcoded means more or less impossible ;-)

Tell you the truth I'm not sure way they were established like this. Might be because the code requires it. A simple fix would be to add a col to cap the bottom, but I will ask about that first.

Seriously though, who's to ask? Just fix it, that's what you get paid for...

Ok its been talked about and so far its just been a legacy thing that never got corrected. All deployables will be capped in the future.

yep, like CRF, we are already hard at work at capping all the bottoms on each deployable so this can't be exploited :)

So far I've already fixed the deployable AA :)

Nice.

Whoever was using this exploit on Archer at the castle the other day, (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!) don't do it again. Stupid glitcher ran our tickets down a bunch before we realized what was happening. Next time i'll swap teams and find out who is doing it. Then it's the BAN HAMMER for your cheating ***.
