I'm sick of deleting threads because some of you seem to have this innate need to wander off topic and insult one another. Stop it.
(Sariat, one of the threads I deleted involved the right-click bug you found. I was unable to reproduce the problem, so if you could package up an example or point me to a demo that would be swell.)

I was going to say something to them, but I ran a risk of starting another flame war.

Hmmm, I cant seem to remember what I did in super hero bash to trigger it, but this bug works great in Paintball Outpost. Here are the steps to trigger it: 1. Right Click yourself 2. Walk up one tile any direction 3. Right click yourself and there are doubles of you. It has something to with a verb on the usr. I just can't seem to remember what I did... -Sariat | |
I wish there was an option to make your post non-respondable to, but I don't think that'd to any good anyway :oP

Its not all of them, just a few of them. I, for one, love your great creation. I don't know what I would be doing without it. Thanks Tom. People just don't know how hard it is to be Tom. I will try not to add to endless threads that you deleted from the forum. -Sariat | |
3. Right click yourself and there are doubles of you. It has something to with a verb on the usr. I just can't seem to remember what I did... I see this all the time, myself. I think its necessary to click yourself while you're moving to see it, but I'm not completely sure. I also think it might do it with other mobs (and possibly objs), and not just the one the client is connected to. -AbyssDragon | |

It doesn't sound like it has anything to do with the icons. Is that right, or has this only started happening in the latest beta? | |

I noticed a few months ago that sometimes right clicking my tank in Tanks displayed two turrets and two of my tank. I could never reproduce it, so I didn't report it. | |

As ye reap so shall ye sow. Cater to children, and you'll find yourself in the company of them. If you want adults and adult behaviour, create accounting software, not games.
Oh, I can see the replies to this one are going to pile up fast... ~X | |
As ye reap so shall ye sow. Cater to children, and you'll find yourself in the company of them. If you want adults and adult behaviour, create accounting software, not games. People of all ages like games! But you're right to figure that a gaming-oriented product will inevitably draw lots of young folks. We just have to try to learn 'em some manners. | |

I don't like being baited, but I guess I'm obligated to say that almost everyone I regularly play online games with is an adult and has been for sometime. Some of them are even somewhat well-known in their professional fields. The idea that games are for kids is about as realistic as the idea that comics are for kids -- only if you make them that way. | |
Who says you can't create accounting software with Byond? You can even host it live and get help from your friends!

I forget where in this stack of computer magazines I read that, but it was from a study conducted in summer 2001. | |
