Hello forumers. It seems there is a more or less game-breaking glitch in the game, that hasn't been brought well to the public yet. I am basing the theory on my own experiences in gameplay, which means that I am not 100% sure how it happens, but I am quite convinced about it.
To begin with another glitch that was discovered some while ago, which involved bullets shot in a diagonal direction underwater that couldn't been seen by the server. This caused for example Powerups that were shootable underwater or from there to disappear for the clients after someone had taken them, since the host never registered the Powerups being shot.
I believe this glitch is somewhat kind of a similar fashion, because it involves bullets shot while the player is moving diagonally, in slopes. So, there are two kind of ammo types that can be shot through a solid slope or wall while in the move, bouncers and EB. So now if there was for example a Powerup inside the solid wall behind the slope(but shootable only from the slope), it would again stop respawning after taken once, as it seems the bullets shot this way aren't registered at the server itself.
I discovered this the first time for real when I had just created my latest CTF-level 'Black Jack', where I originally placed an RF-Powerup inside a hill with a slope on both sides. In the earliest betatesting games that powerup was mostly not there after it was taken a few times, due to players shooting it while on the move up the slope.
But another example that comes to my mind on a quick thought that demonstrates my theory, was in E.Prime by BlurredD, which means that he would have originally discovered the bug himself, but never either bothered or could fix it in the earlier pluses(possibly because it didn't involve that many levels.) Instead he fixed his level from that glitch. In the original level the bouncer-Powerup was located in the bottom right inside a wall, with a little slope on the left of it. In the SC2-version of E.Prime the slope has been cut and the area squared where you are able to shoot the powerup from.
So, due to me talking about this bug with a couple of persons, we thought it should be nominated for future plus work, which would give freedom to future JCS'ing without having to watch out for this glitch, even if it isn't as present in the most popular levels.
