Some water bugs

[DeTeEff]

1. When I'm in the water and turn on 'noclip' it sometimes happen that the player is stuck like in a dough and moving is incredibly slow.

 

and

 

2. Sometimes when I drop into a shallow pool, the player bounches up, and sometimes he slides sideways as there is a sudden current.

 

 

There may be bugtrackers on these ones and if so, I'm sorry

If you turn on 'noclip' mode (or any other developer/cheat code), stuff might break. In particular, portal optimisation may fail to work which could cause the poor performance you mention. This isn't considered a bug since 'noclip' is not part of regular gameplay.

[DeTeEff]

Yeah, I know that all visportals open when I slide out of bounds, into the void and the game may get real slow and choppy. But in this case I'm inside the playing field and inside the water and just my movement is slow. Everything else is at normal pace...

TDM is equally a development toolkit. I'd consider it a bug.

I have noticed this before and it's annoying, nocliping in liquids causes player speed to slow to a crawl. Performance (FPS, frame hitching etc) is not affected. This is probably a Doom 3 code issue though.

[OrbWeaver]

Well if it gets in the way of mappers testing their maps and can be easily fixed, fair enough. I'm not putting any money on whether it can, though; it may very well be something in the closed-source code.

[AluminumHaste]

Just to clarify; this bug only happens when turning on noclip while in water. Flying into water with noclip on has no effect on player speed.

There may be less significant bugs to spend time fixing, but I'm having a hard time thinking of any.

[DeTeEff]

Haha, it's perfectly ok Springheel It was just a bugreport, with the lowest priority

 

But no one has replyed to the second bug about the bounching in the water. That one is present in real gameplay...

[OrbWeaver]

You'd probably have to provide an example map/situation for the second one.

Of course it doesn't happen for me now I had put the starting position just over the water and when I dropped into the water the player bounched... I have quirked the pool and made the water more shallow so now it doensn't happen anymore...Maybe I just should stop stealing your time...

It's happened to me before also I asked about it several months ago (maybe longer?). When dropping down a short distance into water the player would bounce several times and the splash particle would span for each bounce making lots of noise and covering the screen in white. I think that was already fixed though.

If not fixed, it could probably be easily replicated. And *think* the cause would be the water mod and the new detection "is the player in water", which might go wrong (or get out of sync). Can somebody please make a testmap and if it occurs repeatedly, file a tracker entry?
