Help Me Fix The Damn Hammer Again (in 2.1c) <--by SuperBi

I play deathball some, but most of my spare time is spent coding deathball. So once again we really need your help .

So I fixed the hammer jam of 2.1. Now we get reports of a new bug that we can't reproduce. But that doesn't mean its not there!

Here is what we know.

When you get the bug it appears that you are holding down the hammer button, however you can't tell when its happening because everything seems normal on your side (cuz animation and sound still play) but hammer (volley and boost-without ball mode) doesnt work. Catching the ball may reset this bug.

If this happens to you please give us all the details surronding it. Please only respond to this thread if you have 2.1c.

when it happens to someone, all we hear (the other ppl in the server) is the bugged person's hammer going off constantly.. bam.. bam...bam.. bam...

I thought we had that in like 1.4. Who knows though, they all just run together in my head now.

Yup, same lol :x

Although going from the "bam.. bam...bam.. bam..." priior that's not the continuous screeching wreeeEEEEEwreeeEEEEEwreeeEEEEE sound it used to be :)

Anyway :) I'll try to say what I did and attach my log (if you want) as soon as it happens to me :)

Well the hammer bug is tough to reproduce. But I did try to fix it. David will release 2.1d tommorow with this fix in it.

I sure hope you guys that download and play 2.1d will let us know if my fix for this bug worked.

Its kind of a shot in the dark cause I cant reproduce it.

Sqleaf had it an awfull lot of times yesterday.

His hammer just started hammering like he was holding lmb, but he didn't notice anything except he couldn't volley.

He reconnected before he got passed to thouh ;(
