in NS General Discussion
I don't know if its been discussed here before but there is an easy to reproduce bug in NS where by the player becomes constantly invisible to Marines allowing this player to annihilate the marine ranks. I have reproduced this bug on 5 different servers now in each alien form, of course the invisible onos being the most damaging <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Devs do you know about this one? Its quite bad considering alot of people are now doing it.

    i know about it, but the only way i know how to reproduce it isnt one i would consider "easy to reproduce" perhaps you have found another way? PM me if you want to trade our experiences. I know the dev's know about my way, but perhaps not yours.....

    Try to help improve the game instead of ruin it, Icculus

    Now play nice. =)



    Mr Wibble, please PM a developer about the bug.


    //edit: No, really. Icculus is helpful. He's already pointed out one cloaking bug to the Developers. Please read before you flame.

    Do you guys read the whole post or just the first couple of words?

    Anybody's whose read Icculus excellent post on Marine tactics in post-1.01 days will KNOW he wouldn't exploit this cheat. I think the whole point of this topic is to STOP permanent Cloaking and if you notice, none of the people who know how to do it have explained.

    Well he might want to know the bug so he can continue reseraching on it to find out excactly how it works, but he wouldnt want the bug posted on the forusm because then almost everybody would know about it.

    Don't judge him that fast, he might just be trying to help.

    If you would, either PM myself or Flayra with the problem, and no one else? If you PM me, I'll be sure to post it to the board for the PTers (we've got a bug list going in there).

    If it's the 'move a tiny amount, then stop, then move a tiny amount, then stop' thing, that's a feature.

    The reason i asked for a PM was so that the exact way to make it work would not be made public. I dont exploit at all. When i figured out how to recreate the cloaking bug i let the devs know and have not done it since. I try very hard to play the game the way it was meant to be played and encourage others to do the same. The original poster should obviously inform a dev, i was just trying to see if he knew another way so I too could test it and add it to my list of things to report soon. I understand how you could take what i said as attempting to gain an exploit, but all I can do is say that I have no intention of ever cheating in any way in NS, the game is too much fun to ruin that way.
