The "I'm Stuck!" Thread

[Forge]

Okay. I lied. Thanks to Vermin Clearance I had to strafe jump to make this gap.

I've never bothered to learn how to strafe jump. ... I've rarely come across the need to do it, but after the last map I released had a strafe jump shortcut, I should learn or at least learn the limits. Almost 14 years of Duke and I'm still a noob.

That should say, "I never learned how to strafe jump with any skill because I rarely need to do it, until I mention it and the next 11 maps I play have reason to strafe jump."

Due to the stupid way that velocities are set, strafing + running forward will make you move faster than moving forward alone.  Since you are moving faster, you will cover more ground during a jump.  So it really has nothing to do with jumping per se.

[Puritan]

No you don't have to strafe jump there.
I suspect you've done some cheating...Or you have a bug in your game.
This "missing" step has never been seen before. I've played this at least 30 times. My brother some 3-4 times.

Here is the build pic. As you can see there is a sectoreffector to the right in the corner who raises another "step" just outside the entrance.

Okay. I've been doing that for years without even thinking about what I was doing. I thought there might have been more to it than that.

That's not very helpful. Check the eduke32.log section here and act accordingly: http://wiki.eduke32.com/wiki/Frequently_Asked_Questions

It sounds like he's referring to the end of Scar City.  I've never heard of that crashing for anyone before.  Maybe it was just a freak occurrence.

Use the latest unofficial CON code and the latest unofficial EDuke32 and try again, I guess.

I mean it froze bad my whole pc froze up and i had to restart

Help! I Cannot Beat the level called lunar crossroads.To be specific I cannot find the yellow keycard. I have tried everything, when I blow up the canisters in the vent in the subway I can hear a bunch of explosions but nothing else happens. What am i supposed to do?   







PS: I found a glitch in alpha core involving the lift in the center of the level. If i try using it before using the red keycard it will go up a little ways before going down again. if i use the red keycard after doing that it will say locked instead of unlocked and the lift won't work.I found this out the hard way and had to restart the level. It will work as long as the player does not try using the lift before using the red keycard.

I watched that vid it was played mirrored with duke plus
Was i supposed to play it with duke plus? And how did he blow that pipe open?
I never could. In fact I just tried blowing it open with pipe bombs and nothing happened.
 And i am not using duke plus either.

[Dan G]

The mod I was using changes nothing with regard to level progression.  There was an old version of the map where the crack on the pipe was not visible and sometimes it wouldn't blow up.  I guess that's the one you have been playing.  Try pipebombs on different parts of the pipe and eventually it will work.

Shawneth How The Hell Would I Beat The Level Without Killing The Boss???
