Project Reality Forums

I have searched for this in the suggested forum and found nothing, is it possible to make it so instead of pressing the jump button to get over a wall or something we can have a key and press it to make us climb over, because every time we jump we loose like half of our energy.

This has definatly never been suggested before
I know for a fact I have seen several of these threads. Thank the awesome bf2 engine for this not being able to work

not only walls, but the damn sidewalks at fallujah that you're not able to step over ;O

ffs thanks bf2 engine...

+1

it can ruin gameplay tbh hence jump and stamina are connected....

that's because they where never made to be side walks, so they dont have a little "ramp" on there collision mesh to get up the sides.

But I agree, its bad design but fixing it wouldn't be easy.

So.... lowering them a little bit will not fix the problem?

No, modifying the collision mesh to look like:

---\
----\

instead of:

----|

would.

It looks really funny when a Marine tries to jump over a small curb. And it's really a WTF. I just run and... get stuck on a SMALL CURB! The "climb" idea sounds interesting. Maybe let's add invisible ladders at small walls?

The number of ladders per map is limited.

GREAT IDEA yea Thank you Bf2 Design :'( Haha

'Ere we go with the engine bashing!

There is alot of annoying niggley things about the engine that don't make any sense and are just really annoying, but you have to bear in mind that there are still very few engines since BF2 that can hack high amounts of players playing smoothly in a multi-discipline combat environment. So count yer lucky stars that you have it! Back in ma' day, wi din't 'ave no fighter jets int' Doom engine!

You are missing the point. There is a limited number of networkable objects that can be a map. Too many networkables means instability and maps will crash. The reason he said there was a limit to the number of ladders is because there of the limited number of networkables before a crash. Replacing one networkable with another networkable does not lower the number of networkables.


Remember Operation Archer and Basrah, back when everything could be destroyed? The reason they crashed a lot was because there was a high number of networkable objects already ingame, and then when people were added to it (with their vehicles and ammo bags and grenades), it was too much for the server to handle.

New road texture type that looks like a sidewalk? The current 'sidewalks' are about that wide anyway. It wouldn't have the 'bump' of the curb but would most likely work better.

the sidewalks are indeed annoying and stupid, but climbing over a low wall in all that equipment can be pretty tiring anyway, especially with a gun in one hand.

The only way to fix the sidewalk problem is to do it like muttrah city (Where the sidewalk is a rode with a different texture)

Ermmm, no:

It's all about the collision mesh. the model itself doesn't mean squat, because you don't stand on the model, you stand on the collision mesh (same reason it's possible to climb stairs, they're actually just ramps in collision mesh, but stairs are what you see).
