My first bug report, hope I didn't break any rules

Basically, as marine, I will sometimes have a 'weld' waypoint on my hud appear, but when I use the minimap, the waypoint is at the exact centre of my screen, and is just a standard waypoint (never the special 'weld' one). I am not sure if this coincides with the commander giving a valid weld waypoint somewhere else.

I took screenshots of two seperate occasions:

In this one, the weld waypoint on the hud appears to be underground:



In this one, it's somewhere outside the map:

I would love reproduction steps for this if anyone has them.

Hi again.

Not reproduction steps, but I had what would seem to be a highly related bug in commander mode (screen brightened up horribly so you can see what has happened), and this perhaps gives a clue as to the actual bug:



I had placed a PG in Aux Comms, which I *think* was hit by an alien before being +use'd by a marine, causing it to disappear (it may have been eaten, I didn't notice which). My marines then had a build PG waypoint in mess hall. You cannot see it in the screenshot, but the waypoint was underground. One marine said over voice comms "The PG sank in Mess Hall". I had not built a PG in Mess Hall at any point in the game.

So my proposal is that if the commander gives a weld or build waypoint on a structure at the same time that it is destroyed (perhaps in the same server frame?), the waypoint for the weld/build action ends up at the centre of the map.

I think this is simple to reproduce...

As commander, drop a structure and give any marine a "build structure at WP" waypoint (or "weld structure at WP"). If the structure is destroyed before it is fully built (or welded), said marine will get a waypoint smack bang in the middle of the map.

The waypoint disappears when the commander gives a new waypoint.

I just saw this now and wanted to comment that it is not when the structure is destroyed before it is built. I have reproduced this many many times (not intentionally). It seems to be the view of the comm being up in the air looking down throws off where the waypoint actually is being placed and where the comm is clicking the waypoint to go.

This is ESPECIALLY noticable on maps like castle ones (sorry terrible at remembering any maps names despite me playing NS since 2.01 ).

Man I have been away for a very long time
