Possible bug?

[Piggybear]

Ok, so I finally made a server (YAY!), BUT, my gf is playing also and when she shoots me with smg1 and flamer1 I get no damage. (flamer1's "burning" still hurts me, but not the initial damage) All weapons besides those hurt me, and bots with those can also hurt me. If I can find out how, I'm going to attach a demo of us testing all weapons.

She's on the version in Lubuntu Software Center (1.4.5 I believe)
I'm on SVN -r6550 (so I can connect to older ones)

I don't know why this would happen, and I just thought I would bring it to your attention.
It might get fixed when I update her version tomorrow though.

Thanks for the help.

That demo doesn't actually show anything: after you join the game, you never shoot anything and never get shot at, while Sock Monkey wanders the level, shooting at a bot on her own team just before halftime and then not much else. She does wander into the side of the level where you are, but never has you in line of sight, and the game abruptly ends with 4:14 on the clock as both players leave.

Are you sure you got the right demo?

[Piggybear]

It was supposed to be the entire 10 minutes on conflict... Annnnd now that's all gone...

[radiant]

Nonsense. This is the demo you wanted.

[Piggybear]

I know. I JUST updated it...

Edit: I didn't know about /listdemos....

For reference:




Beware, it is 1.4-5 and not 1.4.5. -5 means it's the fifth revision of the package, which is not related to the version.

This is caused by a bug in the network stuff.

Pretty sure this is on quin's not-gunna-fix list.

Although you can usually quick-fix it by doing the command: /reconnect

The network sometimes gets desynced for some reason that, since the earlier releases, has never been really found out. That's what Bobbo meant. I'm also assuming it's that bug, for what it's worth.

yea it can manifest itself in a few different ways i've seen so far:

-you shoot your weapon but no-one else sees you fire it
-you can't pick up items on the map
-strange inexplicable movement of your player when you aren't pressing any keys (i've got a funny demo of this)

but a reconnect always fixes it, so maybe this is something else. did it happen on multiple servers?

[Piggybear]

This is JUST SMG1 and Flamer1, JUST her, JUST against me. Even disconnecting and reconnecting from the server doesn't help. This happens on every server, including local. I can hit here just fine with all weapons and their secondaries. She can hit everyone else including bots, just not me. All other people can hit me, all other people can hit her. If this IS in fact a network problem, it would surprise the hell out of me. It seems to me like it's some sort of incompatibility between 1.4-5 and svn -r6550, but only when on the same LAN. Hopefully soon we wont even need this "bug report" because 1.5 will be out.

EDIT: Update again, we just checked really quick, it does NOT happen when both of us run svn -6550 so the problem should be fixed with the release of 1.5.

Seems to boil down to 1.4 problems, closing issue.
