True Hitbox Model For Skulk/fade?

rebo

Would a model that conformed to the true hitbox of a skulk / fade be cheating?

As you probably know the skulk and the fades hitboxes are way off, i.e. hit either in the head and you will miss. I was thinking of making a model that conformed to the hitable area. But would this be viewed as cheating ?

Its a matter of opinion tbh. In my opinion, if a model does not make it so you can see an opponent when you shouldn't be able to, then it is not a cheat model.
Look at it this way. All this would do is make it easier to hit the bit you are after, so if people consider it a cheat then they must also consider new crosshairs and reduced muzzel flash's cheats also.

It is a grey area, for instance im currently using the aliens type skulk model, it has a big long tail and head. It looks damn scarey and very atmospheric, but as its also alot bigger than the hitable area , and even sticks thru walls a tad on ocassion, so in a sense this is a bit of a cheat. Even tho i only use it cos it looks scarely and cool.

I guess some other people can quite rightly say, just use defaults. But when the defauls incudle poorly aligned models taht you can shoot but still 'miss' it surely means you are entitled to a more accurate representation. Im in two minds.

Seen the alien skulks, and yes they do stick out a bit, but so do the defaults in certain situations..I've seen a (default)skulk nose pointing through a closed door a few times and shot him, same has happened to me..

i think a long tail that sticks through the wall, and the sh17 you find in your pants after they attack you by suprise is an even trade off....

or it just me that sh17's my pants when i'm attacked by a frekin scary monster that apeared out of nowhere....?

It wouldn't really matter, since for the hitboxes to work, everyone would have to have the same model.
