Skulk Texture...

<div class="IPBDescription">His anus specifically.....</div> I was just roaming around the RR when I ran by a Skulk and saw something from teh corner of my eye.
Maybe the dev team is saying the skulk is the coolest/deadliest.....or maybe that's the Xeno button O_O

    I'm not sure what's worse: the discovery itself, or the fact that you were thoroughly analyzing a Skulk's backside to <i>make</i> said discovery.

    Edit: If you knife a Skulk in the butt, does the face frown at you?

    Wow. Haven't seen a thread like this in evar. It is kind of disturbing that someone would monitor a Skulk's behind like that. He just SAYS he "caught it from the corner of his eye" but do we really catch stuff like this from the corner of our eyes?

    Most likely, it only represents a face because the texture was split in half then horizontally mirrored, things can do that a lot, take the letter K for instance, I guess.

    Ha ha ha.

    One time, there was this guy on top of the armory guarding base, and I swear to god, every time I went for ammo, he'd look toward me while crouching and because of the way marines squat in NS, his huge armored marine genitals were taking up half my screen. Sometimes I swear he'd crouch-walk around just to jostle his junk in my face. When I told him what it looked like I was seeing, everyone had a good laugh.

    ... I don't know why I was looking in particular.

    Let's focus on that spray to the upper left of your image.


    Flame is now over, proceed to technical explanation:


    If you want to know the truth, textures in HL are often mirrored in a way that greatly reduces their data size. This is partially because this means that you download less, and partially because if fed a texture map too large, the HL engine will vomit all over itself and explode. Most HL texture maps for models will fit in a 256x256 or 512x512 square quite easly. Thusly, the skulk's body is a mirror texture of itself, and the two places that you can see the seam are:

    1. It's head. Actually, it's forehead.

    2. It's arse.

    The "picture" you are pointing out is an artifact of the mirroring effect, and doesn't mean a bloody thing.
