Glitches

[Omnomnick]

Ok, this is a weird glitch I found when playing Episode 2 a while back, dunno how I did it but sheckley is floating next to a railing, he didnt move ever again, and didnt do his talking sequences, he still fired though

And no, I don't except much talk about this particular glitch, but please share your expierences with glitches in Episode 2 and show screenys that sort of stuff...

EDIT: Wait, while searching my screenshots I found these ones,

This is when you get the Hotrod stuck in the forcefield and the car begins to float,

and this one

This glitch is when a hunter runs out the garage, but I had been stupid at the garage and through a few cars around and the hunter kicked the car as it ran out, resulting in this, it doesnt look like much, but in game it went mad, flying everywhere, and it actually killed the hunter, and then me...

Lulz gravity crowbar :hmph:



Yey saved llamar.

 

[Omnomnick]

lol, nice

I have another one, but in video format so I'll just tell you how, and let you play...

type 'physcannon_mega_enabled_1' into console, then you will get the super gravity gun from Episode 1 and Hl2, then try to pick up the hotrod, the car will spin around crazily and the game will lag really badly until u release it, at which time, the car will spin and fly away to it's own accord, good stuff (ok scratch this one Ironcube, I didnt relise you had done it until after this post, but incase anyone else wants it, here it is)

EDIT: and, not really a glitch but a funny moment...
On riding shotgun, there is an advisor in a minibarn underneith the map, shoot, poke and punt the advisor as much as possible and it will move into strange positions followed by animations, one of which is where the advisor is low down as usual but then proceeds to fly away out of the front of the barn, it then slows then moves forwards slightly before speeding off towards the map above, this was really strange the first time I did it, as I thought the advisor had somehow got a mind of its own and decided to go kill Alyx. Lol

 

[Iron_cube]

Uh.

Look at my first picture again. Same thing.

 

[Omnomnick]

(ok scratch this one Ironcube, I didnt relise you had done it until after this post, but incase anyone else wants it, here it is)

What did I just say....

But try out the advisor one sometime, funny stuff, theres a good cribbling one where it all screws into one ball

 

[Iron_cube]

The advisor down there is actually a cycler entity that loops between its animations. This small room is used just right after the radio transmission breaks up, showing the advisor for about .5 seconds.

I did/found pretty much everything in ep2

I found a map glitch in Under the Radar. I was climbing all over the rocks looking for a supply cache (which was actually on the other side of the mountain, guh) and got stuck in a little crack. Had to noclip out.

Unfortunately, it appears I lost the screenshot I took of it. :/

You can save Lamar? I know you can close the roket door but I suspected Lamar getting in the rocket was a scripted event and you couldn't close the door until Lamar got it?

 

[Iron_cube]

you have to hurry up and close the thing before magnusson ends his rant lines

 

[Headcrab Pie]

Got hit by a Hunter sprinting and well...
Yah, I know its small.

 

[z0mbin3]

So whats different after you save Lamar? Do you see her again? will Kliner say something different before the rokets launched?

pitofied. Now give me a cookie!

 

[Omnomnick]

*Throws cookie*

Now, can we have some more glitches, I know there are plenty as I've seen loads but just not been able to catch em all on camera

 

[Omnomnick]

Sry for double post, the thing went weird, just ignore this one...

 

[Iron_cube]

So whats different after you save Lamar? Do you see her again? will Kliner say something different before the rokets launched?

Its a bug.

You arent supposed to close the door before llamar gets in. So it does nothing.

 

[Omnomnick]

Ok, to reawaken this thread, I decided to go out into the forsts of Episode 2 and find some glitches...and good news I found some.

This one is when I used noclip and physcannon_mega_enabled_1 and was just flying around the level when suddenly...

My textures screw up on somebuilding...I got this 4 days ago in gmod beta, but that being a mod, i just thought had happened.

Then, on the last level, this...(possible spoilers)

This is the bit where Alyx and Gordon are pinned against the wall, hense the arms, but because of these next pics the scripted scenes didnt work, all the sounds and voices were there aswell as the physics scenes just not any movements

And then this...

These advisors are actually dead )), if you shoot them enough they sqeal and jump into these positions and no longer move or get effected by weaponary...

And one last pic, cos its funny...

Ok, just found another glitch in the menu of Episode 2, while talking to AciD over steam community I noticed that the portal storm in the background has stopped, while the water etc was still moving...sry no pic, but from now on, all my pics will be placed on the thread instead of links

 

[Omnomnick]

Ok, and once again, I have found a glitch, while playing Freeman Pontifex, the portal storm that effects the bridge was late and only came after the shockwave, which froze a section of the bridge, making it look weird afterwards...anyway, heres some screenshots...

This one shows that the metal beams that are ment to collapse away have stuck in place...

And this one shows the bridge afterwards and from a larger view.

 

[AciD]

Huh nice find and btw I WANT NEW PC!

 

[Omnomnick]

WTF, you've got 2 PCs, a good one and a completely shit one, is it cause my graphics level is so high

 

[Omnomnick]

Another Glitch , not ep2 but HL2 none the less...

Here it is...

DOG's 'ball' the roller mine got attached onto his gravity gun and my gravity at the same moment, meaning I could take it where ever I wanted with the beam following, afterwards the ball went incredibly fast back towards him...

Hope you enjoy it, lol

 

[Iron_cube]

Theres nothing to enjoy.

Every single possible glitch has already been found on 99% of all valve games.

Idon't know if this is a glitch or something i'm doing wrong, but in the section early in the game when you have to fight to the two guardians. After killing them i'm suppose to walk over to the gate and the vort opens the gate so i can get inside to climb the ladder. Well he just stands there by the thumper. He doesn't move, I figured that i had to find another way up and tried stacking the cars. Then mine carts and the crates and nothing works. I can't get up on the cage or up the rock face. Why is this guy just standing there. I tried restating and killing the guardians again differently but he just keeps standing there whats going on

 

[Iron_cube]

Now thats a real bug.

You should restart the whole map. It's the beginning of a chapter so it shouldnt be too annoying.

 

[Omnomnick]

A glitch is a problem with coding in the game, when an event or movement goes wrong and creates a spazm or an unusual bug.

I remember getting one on a James Bond game, where the player model began to stretch extremely out of control, causing the whole screen to blur with polygons and pixels. The blur was so bad that eventually I walked off a cliff and the death scene showed a huge ball of pulsating polygons atleast 12 times the size as the original player model.

I find glitches funny and bugs annoying, they are two completely seperate things in my mind. Glitches are when something goes wrong, bugs are when something doesnt happen that is ment to.
