What the heck is the thing in this screen shot? Is it some new kind of chamber that I don't know about?

there's also a death message that looks like it could be related to this, or maybe it's for devour?

I searched around and couldn't find any info on it... anyone know what it is?

    Damn, I was going to be all clever and say it's the new movement chamber, since I head they're smaller now and all.....

    Obviously you guys missed a post in the modelling forum (or was it the mapping one...) a little while back where they even posted the model. It is just a decoration. Nothing else.

    What is that blue line that is on the screen when the nade launcher is getting used? Is it something that helps to judge which angle to fire at to get the correct distance?

    It's what we in the business like to call a "crosshair" <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    They put in VINES that atack when your are looken the other way !!!!!!! OMG


    no...

    Its a khara fungus that I boned and animated long time ago when this map was nothing but an idealistic basic layout map without detail.
    And if I knew that this map would become oficial I would have done it without tentacles intersecting the body. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    No you just raise the gun up to where cross hair lines are. If you want to shoot at something 50 meters away thwn you would naturaly have to move the mouse up to launch it further. When you move the curser/gun/ crosshair up you would line up the 50m line on the crosshair to the actual target.

    If the target is like 15. YOu would move the crosshair down to where the unlabeld 15m dash mark is. So you would be aiming lower, thus your nade shoots closer.
