Badlands could be better

this is just one of the inherent bugs with the splash damage classes, by far the worst place is cp_well middle, even a slight lip and the splash is rendered useless at some angles

Rockets through stairs and holes is fine. Only train tracks and shit is fucked :)
Yes, Its not really that unreasonable that if you shoot a rocket at a hole, it, you know, goes through the hole.
I don’t think there’d be an easily programmable way of fixing the splash damage. The way I’d do it is sort of… “grow” the splash damage from a point.
I mean, honestly, they’re tiny holes, and rocket are supposed to go through holes, you can’t seriously expect a whole new “pro” versions simply because of some small nuances.

Thats exactly how it works at the moment. However it stops at any point where it reaches a solid surface (i.e. a map element) to save on CPU (and think, theres no point calculating the other half sphere of a rocket explosion where it simply goes outside the map).
the problem is as soldier you dont fire at the player himself, you fire at the floor around him, there’s plently of places (stairs, bumps, tracks, etc) where you can’t fire because you know the splash doesn’t work, combined this with not being able to acquire splash on targets at a higher ground and yeah hitscan is obviously better.
Those holes are a design feature though, you can kill enemies underneath the middle point on badlands and actually kill people on spire if they’re on top of that crack – stairs etc are just shit, valve should replace all stairs with ramps so soldiers aren’t gimped by the stupid explosion bug
A POLL TO BAN BADLANDS SHALL BE CALLED IMMEDIATLY

Easiest way is to put some transparent blocks over the train tracks etc so it’s effectively a level surface, whilst looking like train tracks
I want tc_pro_hydro.
achievement_idle_pro ftw!
would using a brush effect (like they use for grass / bushes) for details and stairs cause a drop in performance? if not that could well be the easiest way to solve the problems.
Pretty damn annoying to hit those spots. Players who don’t want this fixed obviously don’t play soldier.
God those tracks are so annoying.
+1 for a lazy solution to get rid of tracks and dead spots (leave my gaps in the bridge alone tho >:o )
