Mac Gaming Mods

I found a mistake. How many have you found? (This is a pessimistic topic but one that inspires improvements.)
EDIT: I found several other omissions and annoying mistakes in the cyborg 3p animations tag.

Some common "glitches:"



The rock trick

You can reload faster if you melee in the middle of reloading

Your shields cannot be damaged by non-fatal attacks and some normally fatal attacks when overcharging from picking up an overshield

A charged plasma pistol or an unstuck plasma grenade explosion cannot drain your shields when overcharging from picking up an overshield

A vehicle can push you through many walls, often causing you to die from the endless fall

Getting killed by a dead person's bullet may cause the game to give credit to "the guardians" instead of the dead person

Halo only uses UDP, not TCP and UDP like many games use, which can sometimes cause unexpected client-side glitches like unmanned banshees on autopilot, "cloned" players, "invisible" players (often at the same time as "cloned" players), players spawn but they don't know they've spawned, the host has a ping other than zero (often unusually higher than most players, this can occur from other glitches, too!), crashes, lag, etc. This usually occurs when too many CSS entities (CSS projectiles, vehicles, bipeds, equipment) exist at the same time, often caused by mods. This is due to packet loss or corruption.

Not even in my wildest dreams i could imagine a cyborg moving his legs while walking and throwing a grenade.

Sparky, don't change the animations for regular weapons. You're convinced they're mistakes while we (on IRC) don't really believe that's the case..

To be more detailed on it:

There are a number of weapon types in halo, what you are seeing are the individual weapons classified into these types. These were created for a few reasons, but primarily it was to be able to use the same animation graphs for multiple weapons when they had the same holding position and placement. You can will notice that many of the animations share similar motions. This is by design to cut down on needed resources to be loaded (keep in mind this was designed with xbox gen 1 hardware in mind). You can also create custom gametypes that use specific weapon groups, this comes up again as a use for classifying weapon types.

The lack or apparently lack of content isn't due to bungie making mistakes in shipping, they are by design to make more use of game assets.

I wouldn't really call this a mistake but whenever I talk about Halo 1's multiplayer fuel rod gun I say 'Plasma Cannon' rather than 'Fuel Rod Gun' as it is what I'm familiar with editing in Eschaton, and this often confuses all my halololing friends. EDIT: Today while playing on b40 I realized that the weapons \ sniper rifle \ effects \ impact ice effect leaves a plasma burn decal rather than a bullet hole.
