Fix roofs collision

[SwiftSmoky 8,445]

Right now when a tank gets on top of a house with a curved roof he floats above it and stands on a flat horizontal invisible floor. The collision of the roof is very simple and for a good reason - it's easier for the developers to not add this extra detail and maybe it helps to improve the performance a little bit, but it's not a big change at all. For the old Tanki it was just fine but things have changed: There are more and more parkourists and players can easily get on houses - on some maps even without a second tank helping them. These roofs are strategical places - they are usually good places for snipes and defenders, for example in the map Noise players can jump on the house on top of the map with wasp and nitro very easily, this position allows players to defend the flag without being attacked by short-range weapons (unless they jump there too or stand on the ramp to aim higher). Parkour-fighting (a playing style where the player uses parkour to get advantage in battles, or a whole team using more complex parkour tricks for the same purpose) just started getting popular and I do as much as I can to make it more popular. So parkourists are all over the game now, and they get on houses a lot. It's so bad that we can't use the curved roofs to aim down from the roof without taking the risk of falling off the house, and can't use the curves as ramps to jump from one house to another or to jump further from the house above the enemies. Parkour-fighters usually use weaker equipment like wasp (best parkour-fighting hull) and sometimes hornet (rare because it's not so good for parkour-fighting) that don't have a lot of health so it will be fair for them to have their own advantage, they work hard, spend so much time training to get skilled enough for advanced parkour-fighting and give up their favorite and strongest equipment to be able to use parkour, so it's fair that this parkour will give them some advantage and better roofs collision is what we all need. Also players that just do parkour for fun will enjoy it a lot more and players who just battle and see someone standing on a house and not floating in the air above it will enjoy the better look of the game because it's really ugly when tanks just float in the air.

 

EDIT: it's not a very hard work for you to add some detailed collision to the houses, I know how it works and it's really simple. If you want I can even do it myself and send you the files.

As a parkourist myself, I like the current design. There is nothing wrong with it IMO, and yes, I did read the whole thing.

You know what I love? Climbing on one of the building with broken roof in Industrial zone map. I trolled the enemies so hard, one of them reported me. I knew I am innocent, so I just ignored him.
