Title: The 10,10 sector darbar
Post by: hubsonfire on August 24, 2006, 11:47:33 PM
What is up with that? Full bar, no bad guys. Doesn't seem to matter which map, or how many players are on. Why?

Planes, no. UFOs, maybe... :noid

Yeah, current map, and almost always happens on another. Can't remember its proper name. DVDA? Everyone calls it "lake uterus".

That's FesterMA.

The 10,10 sector radar has been messed up since AHI.

FesterMA is the one with the 10k base in the middle of the map is it not.

No kidding, Sky. I'm asking why it's always there. Your tremendous charm is eclipsed only by your inability to offer useful information.

ever get "stuck" OTW the tower because of lag?

IIRC it was stated that the bar dar you are seeing was a result of the dudes stuck in limbo from lag after dying.

if you recall when you die, you zip to the middle of the map for a split second, then to the base you last upped, or if that base has been captured the lowest number base your country owns.

it was most obvious on the AKDESERT map where squiddy was in the center of the water... you would fly there and get stuck sort of in he tentacles.


at least thats what I remember of it being discussed before.

Interesting. So it's not so much a dar bar, as it is a deathometer.

Very strange. That might explain it! I *HAVE* got stuck before, not too long ago. I got screenshots of it. It was in an HTH room on a small map and I was stuck in the middle but could not get back to the tower.

Yes, it is. It must've been replaced or renamed...I could swear it was FesterMA...oh well.

SFMA, aka Mickey Mouse Map, aka Lake Eweterus. Smaller older map, island in the center.

there's no island on the clipboard map in the center?!? just the 3 islands for each country just off shore I think bases 36, 4, and I forget the NE one (though I could be off on those base numbers)

I personally never bothered to fly the 3 sectors to the middle lol.

  • FesterMA has one big centered island

I was going on Hubs post about SFMA


as for the radar bug, all maps have it not just SFMA, check A39 next time Baltic is up.

Whoops, looks like I never made the post I originally planned to. :rolleyes:

The SFMA and the Baltic maps are the only two I've noticed this bug on since the move to AHII. There is one that has a tank town in it that has the 10,10 bug, but I don't pay attention to the TT anyway. :D

Um, since someone mentioned the squid, I was wondering, does anyone have a screenshot of it???

Post by: hubsonfire on August 25, 2006, 04:12:24 PM
It could well be on all maps, but I suppose I only notice it when there are fights in that vicinity. I usually have my map zoomed in so that only a few sectors are displayed at a time to keep my frame rates from tanking, so I may simply have overlooked the bar on all the other maps.

Indeed, 3 smallish islands. Wow, this game is a whole lot different sober. I'm noticing all kinds of things. I've also noticed that most of you aren't as funny/witty/intelligent as you are when I'm drunk. Odd, isn't it?

Post by: Krusty on August 26, 2006, 01:24:13 AM
Odd, we've noticed the same about you when you're not drunk, as well. :lol

I can't believe folks never noticed it happening for some time now. I recall more than once looking for a fight in 10,10, and folks reminding me about the 10,10 dar bar bug. It's on every map.

Just went and check, I belive it only shows extras when you first enter the arena. And it has always been that way.

There are times I've been online for 4 hours and it still does that. *shrug*

I also see the bar in that sector after being logged in for hours. Anyway, have always been curious about that, and had never heard an explanation for it.

If you are online for a long period you end up with full darbars in 10,10
