Angled VTOLs...

Post by Saberuneko »

They just always fly and land in this weird angle (8c-sandcastles map)...

Why?

This can happen when a vtol goes from water to a cliff face, though it should have reset when it landed. :-S

#745 has more details.

Anyways, this has been fixed in trunk and so it shouldn't be difficult to fix in 2.3 as well.

I thought this had been fixed in 2.3?

And didn't the fix cause a few other bugs?

Nope, I just confirmed it ( Sandcastles is a decent map to test with.)

Not that I'm aware of.

Cool. I remember some problems with your fix mentioned on either the forum, tracker, or IRC, though... it was too long ago, so I don't remember the details... I think it may have been performance problems? Or graphical glitches... one of the two. It may also have been caused by Cyp's VTOL tilt changes, too...

I don't know. I'd probably advocate backporting your fix.
