<div class="IPBDescription">Were they meant to be?</div> As in
Were they meant to be together

Was the Thing were a lerk could pick up a gorge a bug? a Add-on? or was it really in there ( u know made by the peeps)

If it as made by you lot... why did you scrap it? We found getting gorges up to a third stoire hive was a bit hard, though we managed to get three up there. I cant remember the map, but it was a Co map.

BRING IT BACK PLEASE

    It's a third party plugin called "lerk lift". There are now other variations which let you pick up marines (hurting them and causing them to drop their current weapon in the process).

    Lotsa fun imho <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Lerk Lift @*&$ rules.
    I'm not so keen on picking up rines though. That seems a little unfair to me.
    But IMHO, flying around with a fatteh as cargo is fun enough! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    This should not be substituted as a fix for the hive healing issue, but I'm liking the idea of this being in the game by default.

    Lerk lift would make the game more realistic, surely? I mean, imagine a Lerk flying into your base and carry you off to be devoured by skulks, that's what NS should be all about <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I remember playing on servers with the Lerklift plugin that allowed you to also pick up Marines (you had to have adrenaline to pick up HAs)... People were whining so much that the Alien team was exploiting becuase they would pick up Marines and drop them for a fatal yet humerous fall... Ironic how you could exploit a system that was intentionally added to the server while using it for the purpose it was designed and designated for, as if it was too difficult to remove the plugin. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Ahh, memories.

    But still, I've always liked using Lerklift with fatties. But for now, Skulk Elevators will have to do, no matter how retro they are.

    My fondest memories of Lerklift were of being zoomed through the vents of Nancy in 1.04 by a Lerk who knew them. Since I didn't (and still dont) have a clue where the vents went, it seemed like magic to me, as I suddenly appeared at another hive that I couldn't walk to because of Marine obstructions.

    Lerk Lift is very fun, and primaily useful for sneaking Gorges through vents. I don't like the sound of the picking up marines mod...although couldn't the marine you picked up just point upwards and shoot you?

    Lerk lift doesnt work anymore. Tried both versions LerkLift and SuperLerk last night on my linux server. Lerk Lift just didnt work and Super Lerk, wouldnt hang on to the gorge/rine but would move them and sometimes bury them which is rubbish. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    At least until this hive healing bug gets fixed!!! I know we've all been having lots of fun boosting gorges to the top of the hive.

    Loved picking up gorges that needed a lift, especially in siege maps where they wanted to break through enemy defenses but were too fat & slow to do it solo <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Was also fun in a diff custom map like Canyon Wars to come down in a dive and with good timing snag a marine on the up swing and literally SLING him towards the ceiling hehe.

    I really really do hope this ability gets added as a stock option or atleast is made to be possible with a plugin by the game developers because, and I know this is kinda selfish, I want so badly to do some lerk lifting on Canyon War with its very high ceiling and the Lerks new flight system =P.

    Btw Flayra, koodos on the way the lerk flies, love it now <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Lerk lift was certainly fun, and with the new flight system, it would just be god. I would actually be able to save some gorges/control my flight/and so on.

    In combat you can (in most maps) either have a skulk wall walk up to the hive witha gorge on top, or have a lerk with adrenaline(sp?) fly up to it while the gorge jumps furiously on top, lol....

    I was looking for the lerk lift plugin the toher day, and went to modns.org or something, and noticed a lot of the plugins weren't working for the beta, and so I assume a new version needs to be wrote for 3.0.

    I know there's plenty of good plugin writers, and I believe it was open source, so I think we wouldn't need the actual creater of the plugin to do it.... Though I have no idea what has changed that would affect it.

    the way the lerk is now is superb, much easier to fly, and follows commen sense a little more.

    the gorge and the lerk are a match made in heaven, when the two players use <i>teamwork</i> (the fundamental aspect of this game) they compensate the gorges slowness, and help the team greatly by giving the gorge more mobility.

    if the dev team worked a bit on lerk-lift, they could create a work of beauty surely, reminds me a little of phasegates and HA.... except with two human players, with a lot more teamwork involved.


    gorge : hey lerk! can i please get a lift to comp core?

    lerk : sure! i like helping gorges!

    marine 1 : omgz0r! that gorge is cheating! its got wings! haxz0r!!!!!!!!
