About the Balcony

Human_001 · Post by **Human_001** » 2010-04-09 08:02

Hello guys. Thanks for spending your time to show interest and read threads started by me I alwasy appreciate it.

It's about the Balcony. I can't remember since when it started, but recently its harder to rope up into building balcony without failing to do so. I usually fails and drops, bleed out or die.

I do however, remember that I was using Balcony in Al Basrah alot with help from player with civilian kit. It was no hustle. Easy to rope up without any kind of failure as long as rope lands inside of Balcony you want to get into.

So I wondered whats going on, so I went back to BF2 SF and used the anti-tank kit rope to rope into various Balconies around the map. It is so easy, no glitch, bumps, etc. Yes, I do remember now, It was used to be this way back in like 0.6 or 0.7.

But now when I try on current version of PR (0.9) somehow right after I reach the balcony on rope, instead of entering the balcony I fail to enter and fall straight down. Also when clothes pole (I'm guessing thats what it is or called) are in way of roping up to balcony, I'm guessing I'm colliding with it and falls from rope. This won't happen in BF2 SF. I confirmed it.

So my question is, did you guys altered these building so players can't enter building balcony? If not, what is causing me to fail to enter the balcony like in original BF2? Is it the rope?

Not 100% sure which balcony your refering to, but there is a corner building static with nine windows which can be roped into. However there is an almost identical one, which is a slightly different colour, iirc one is green and one is blue, which does not have enterable balconies.

if you crouch as soon as you hop off (hit your crouch key before you get to the top) you can usualy get over without problems, if you fall just hit e on the way down and try again.

humm, we might be no longer using the col meshes from BF2:SF for thous buildings, I do remember eggman around .6 put the SF col meshes into the PR build so it wasn't a problem, will need to look into it.

Always be ready on the E button if you fall down, problem fixed. I've seen too many full squads going up the same rope and everyone falls down. And if the rope looks suspicious throw a new one.

Wait... Are you saying a civi roped for you and you got it, and then you tried on the SAME balcony with no success?
Perhaps ping-related issue?

I'm trying this. but with no success. Thank you for this tip and quick reply.

I don't know. Could the ping cause this? I have anywhere around 20-70 ping on frequently played server.
Other thing bugging me is I can't hit anyone with sniper past 400m. Is this normal? Could this problem be connected with the rope issue if it has something to do with ping/lag?

Other problem I forgot to mention was, when I push E key after failing to enter balcony while falling, I get into this loop, where, 1. I press E key for avoiding the fall 2. I get onto rope and as soon as I get onto rope it bring me on top of rope and I fall again 3. grab rope with E key to avoid falling. This loop continues about 3 times before I get huge damage, bleed out and die on rope.

Again, thank you for the tips and replies.

I'm anticipating answer from game developers as to what is actually happening about this rope issue. Hopefully this get solved and be able to use balcony again.

Stop holding "w" when your trying to grab the rope....

If only the tower could be destroyed... just had a wild west shooting match with a sniper in that tower.. and me bouncing back and forth between the houses... but if it could be destroyed with a JDAM, i wouldve saved alot of ammo haha
