Terrorists Have Planted The Bomb?!

Eos

<div class="IPBDescription">Small Problem</div> This isn't much of a bug but it is just something that I think should be replaced by something else.

Look for your self:

This icon is only shown when you are "using" the babblers.

At first I thought this might be a place holder that was forgotten, so I just decided to post it up to tell me if it is just me or it is a bug/place holder.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. Sorry for the chessey name! <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

It also shows when you are a marine with mines. Really strange.....

Also since we are talking about the HUD, in 640x480 mode the armor is half-way in the seperation line.

Yes, I saw this today using babblers. Real wierd.

lol, maybe there's a easter egg sound that plays sometimes when you place I mine on a hive "the terrorists have planted the bomb"

or maybe its a bug with CS retail instalation.

How many of you guys are using the CS Retail? It could be both, dev needs to check on it

I have the same problem, don't have CS. I kept looking at it and thinking, WTF? Also, since its kind of on topic, does anyone else have trouble using babblers? Sometimes I use up my whole energy bar and not a single babblers comes out <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

I'm on normal HL, and my babblers always work fine. I love them, by the way.

Just a leftover hud sprite thing I believe. The babblers are created with a psuedoweapon which needs a display, and they probably forgot to change the sprites for babbler ammo into something transparent.

It's not a borked CS installation, no, it's a not-quite-reconfigured NS sprite access.

erm, weird, never seen this before, i mean i get a normal bablers sprite when im using the little buggers...........hehe, they remind me of snarks back to days of hl deathmatch.......... <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

ok, leasson on ussing babblers (for SOC):

look up

yah, if you are looking down or in general don't give em enough room to spawn (ie they would have the tip of their claw, or more, in the floor they willnot apear)

also happens if you try to fire when looking at a wall (ie the vent above marine spawn in Bast is hard to get em going ;D)
