+(zombie tricks, getting through non-solid props)
+ +(bunny jump)
+(almost invisible, act as a spy and surprise humans)
+ + +There are glitches and simplified physics stuff that can be used to get an advantage. Some servers +may not allow all of these tricks because they could be unfair.
+ +(bad thing to do, and should not be allowed)
+ +Realistic physics in multiplayer games is a expensive task for the server and it appears to be +laggy for players. The solution to this is simplified physics on props (that is simplified collision +detection).
+ +Some props aren't solid but pushes players away from it's origin (center of the object). This is +NOT a engine bug, but a simplified solution. These props are useful to _delay_ zombies in barricades, +but they're still fair to use. If players got enough speed they can run and jump through them.
+ +There's another trick that works quite good if the knock back is balanced +correctly. If a player look straight down or straight up it's possible to +simply walk through non-solid props, or at the same time, jumping slowly +through them.
+ +This simplified physics is used by default on regular Counter-Strike: Source maps. There's +something called turbo physics which is enabled on most zombie servers, where all props are solid so +players can stand on them. Players can't push props, but move them by shooting or using their use +key (E by default) while aiming at the object.
+ +When zombies have to crouch to enter a area where humans camp (like tubes and vents), jumping fast +might help.
+ +When jumping it's not easy for humans to hit the head and they can't get that good knock back +anymore. With multiple zombies jumping fast, pushing eachother on their way into a tube, the humans +are doomed. The tube camping problem much better balanced. This problem can also be solved by +using a class editor volume or anti-camp in tubes and +vents.
+ + +Currently we have no public bug tracker, so issues have to be reported in the Zombie:Reloaded forum.
