Life After Death?

keep_it_Gangsta · July 2003

Has anyone been playing as Kharaa with regen, died and the come back to life right there and then?

Its happened to me a few times <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Hey Gangsta, you play on Plan9 server, i think i remember you ;D
Yeah this happens to me sparingly as lerk when I get instead of my favourite cara, regen.
If you were trying to fly away from death and the exact amount of bullets hit u, u die, but then again you revive instantly <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>
NOW, you should be very very careful not to loose this Lerk. Zombie Lerks are cool and rare Alien species you know! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

But thez tend to have their Wings fall off, while flying

had sometimes.
rarely your view is twisted werid when you life after death, too.

It most often happens with lag. The server decided that your regen saved you, even though you were killed. Sorta the same kind of thing that happens when you're redeemed and still die at the hive.

Ive had a life after death one time before. My view was all messed up, everything was turned sideways <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'> Only happened once though.

Happened to me once vrs two marines i killed one then died than revived and killed the other one.

That is a bug in 1.04, it just got fixed in 2.0w

Insane · July 2003

Argh.. dying at the hive after redeeming is the most annoying thing.. :|

It's possible for the same server lag prediction that allows people to kill players that have dissapeared around corners to mean that you can still be shot after redeeming, isn't it?

BattleTech · July 2003

I think they fixed the redeeming death problem, I'm not sure. I don't use redemption that often, since it's only good on Gorge and Skulk. Onos, I can slowly be going down from 200 to 0 HP, thinking In my head.. lalalala.. when am I going to redempt?

UltimaGecko · July 2003

I don't think Onos can have redemption....thought I read that in the manual somewhere.

Listening to: Open Up, by Dispatch
...Open up the manual!!...hah...ha....yea

Here's your solution to death redemption:

<span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>Get a better internet connection</span>

Yup, that way, you aren't stuck at a pathetic 56kilobits per second... that's 7 KB/sec, and it's pretty lossy...

Or, you can also...

<span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>Go to a different server</span>

find one without that 250+ ping...

Yes, they can still shoot you after you redeem, but keep in mind this is completely fair in terms of lag.

Say a guy has a ping of 500, that's .5 seconds, and he sees you get shot up. He then starts to shoot you some more, but you then disappear, and he sees a kill sprite.

Why this is fair:

Since he had a ping of 500, this means two things:

He saw you .5 seconds after a person with 0 ping would, and he sees you .5 seconds after a person with 0 ping saw you redeem.

So he saw you later, and got to shoot at you later; even though you actually move away from him as you move, it makes perfect sense in terms of fairness.

xdeathx2003 · July 2003

Sure, but it's only fair to a certain point... I mean... 500 ping = 14.4kb modem, or a guy connecting from US to Asia...

If the guy with that type of ping doesn't think it's fair, then he should find a different server, or, as I said above, get a better connection... internet is not that expensive...

That's not really a practical solution.

xdeathx2003 · July 2003

why is that not practical?

it's not that expensive...

And because money is the only thing that matters in the world.. nothing else should make it impractical

Gargamel · July 2003

dont think its connection guys. I play with max 50 ping on very good server and just happens.
If you play some fun map like "ns_pillbox_final_version13856218gi1.5345d2c", you can try it out as fade also:
Half dead, blink to the wall infront of your hives. If you play with numbers you ll get a point where you fall down, make the death sound, but dont die cause of instant heal from hive <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

You re now a Zombie, go tell your Skulkys
