Title: Allowed and forbidden glitches
Post by: Senator on June 02, 2015, 01:44 PM
Which glitches are allowed and which not?

http://worms2d.info/Tricks_and_glitches_(second_generation)

This is what I thought:

Not allowed:

Floating weapon glitch (useful at narrow hides and when u want to fly the worm left/right, can't occur by accident)
Firing targeted weapons without aiming (in WxW you could use pigeon like bazooka to save time with shooting, can't occur by accident)
Vertical Longbow and Baseball Bat (useful in Elite & T17, can't occur by accident)
Skipwalking (useful in Elite & T17, can't occur by accident)
Roofing (t17)

Allowed or not?:

Bazooka through wall
Jumping from Pneumatic Drill
Teleport jump

Allowed (meaningless / can occur by accident / have been always allowed):

Preselecting target in mid-air
Longbow arrow stops in mid-air
Kamikaze drowning glitch
Super Sheep going through walls
Mole Bomb going through walls
Ninja Rope going through walls
Idle weapon animation continues after turn end
Gliding
Alien glitch
Instant self-bounce/hit of a Ninja Rope weapon drop (when u bounce grenade with jetpack in Hysteria)
Chute landing
Objects touching water no longer collide with land ("ghost nade" in Roper)

Can't occur in Classic schemes:

Launching multiple Super Sheep at the same time
Chute flare
Bungee from Jet Pack

Once we've decided which glitches are not allowed, we can add scheme rules like this: "No exploiting glitches. This rule applies to floating weapon, vertical bow, skipwalking..."

Explain why those are forbidden...

Explain why those are forbidden...
Skipwalking is the obvious one, increases movement speed exponentially if used correctly, and takes advantage of frame by frame animation, not intended as part of the game.  Vertical longbow has no discernable advantage, but I think vertical bats are illegal, as least since tus league era.  If roofing is illegal, at least one of my tus games is void.  Floating weapon glitch should definitely be illegal over everything else on the list because it drastically changes gameplay.  With floating zook, you have more precision with targeted explosions than with the mines, which is a limited use weapon which is rendered pratically obsolete, given the player has enough time to knock and float a zook.  Finally, ive never seen, or done myself, the targeted weapons glitch, so I couldn't comment on that one.

Roofing has always been forbidden in tus afaik (written in t17 rules).

Here u can see the targeted weapons glitch: http://www.nolimitfreestyle.com/nlf-trick-demo/ze-pigeon-glitch.html

I would say allowed... Teleport jump in T17 can be very useful and hardly a glitch...

More "nice shot" then "glitch"  I would allow it.
