I did a rip the other night on boc that was pretty straightforward, and after reading philippe's explanation, it makes perfect sense. I hit the wall pretty fast and started grinding to get around another wall someone had layed right next to the outer wall and the thing ripped.ishAdmin wrote:Don't be crazy mom! I appreciate you admitting you ripped it by accident. Keep playing! Did the game go down?
But I am curious. How do you rip accidentally? I mean, what is it that you are doing when this happens. If you feel the information could be used for evil, then pm me. I'm looking for information that might help determine better settings that will lower the likelyhood of this.
It was gone by the start of the next round. It didn't actually rip a big spiked hole like we see, it was more like one of those where the arena wall became a trapezoidal shape.
I've also noticed that when I leave the armagetronad process running on my machine, whenever I play the game (as a separate process) I get like 20fps. If I just restart the armagetronad process (running Breakfast in Hell), everything straightens out. Not sure if it's just scheduling magic having to do with Linux 2.6 or if it's something in the server process...
