    Yes because purposefully moving in a manner that is easy to shoot is always the way to go. Also lerks are pretty much capped at 750 units no matter what kind of binds they use or how big the hallway is. Dropping extreme distances like from the top of freefall can get you up over 1200 but in combat you are pretty much moving 750 at all time. I do believe blinking fades are about 1000 units and leaping skulks slightly faster.

    Oh, the things people will qualify as an "exploit" these days...

    Folks, you fabricate your own uproars, do you know that? Meep never criticised anyone for doing so, he just noted that fast evasive maneuvers make you even harder to hit than would be logical. If you feel attacked by the merest glance in your direction, you'll never be short of enemies.

    By the way, no, Toothy, the reason <i>you</i> can't hit celerity Lerks is that you just can't aim <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I am very impressed with the improvement in the hitboxes, particularly as I need every advantage I can get.

    Kudos the devs on this one!

    I wasn't being defensive, just commenting on his choice of words... I would call something that happens as a side-effect of logical play a bug rather than an exploit. There's no such thing as unintentional exploiting.

    lerk is a killing machine now imho, although some of the rines i have used bite attack on do this weird laggy thing stutter for a second or 2 then die? lerks on the floor or ceiling are still tricky to hit.

    if a fade ducks, the player model pops out atleast 1 or 2 feet above the hitboxes...

    an example is when a fade ducks behind abuilding. You aim at his head but it just misses. also.... a fades head will go very far into the ceiling of a vent...

    someone needs to redo the duck animations and renders so that they properly line up with the hitboxes and proportions( in vents)

    I wasn't really using the term exploit in either the perjorative or the technical sense. Either way: semantics. And Nem is, as usual, right on the money <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->.

    To expand: whenever I lerk, if I pay attention at any time it's obvious that I'm making small erratic movements that wouldn't realistically help me dodge bullets (picturing a basketball player "juking"), but they are, in fact, quite critical and enable me to survive a flight through a room packed with marines or some equally rediculous feat. If this was something that can be fixed through the magic of code, I would be entirely astonished. I've tweaked my net-settings to a fine polish and haven't been able to remove the effects of latency on my play, and trust me, I pay close attention to these things.

    On the other hand, balancing the lerk hitpoints around this "bug" reminds me very much of what happened when we were balancing hitpoints around the inaccurate hitboxes during version 1. More practically, if you lower lerk hitpoints more you may end up rubbing out any room for error. A stationary lerk is, after all, very <i>easy</i> to kill.

    I should really stick to pithy comments though. I like it when Nem comes to my rescue <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->.

    The fade's croutched hitbox has been bugged for a long time. This patch was not to adress that issue. I wonder when that issue will be fixed though.

    A move in the positive = always a good move. TY devs <3
  • Social_OutcastSocial_Outcast Join Date: 2005-01-07 Member: 33510Members
    Yes, fade hitboxes need some fixing.......that when they duck you can try to pistol them in the head right between the eyes and the bullets will just go right through and hit whatever is behind him. Best thing as of now is to aim for the chest or groin area or legs I guess.....

    The fade hitbox problem in versions before 3.0.5 was due to two problems. The first problem is due to a misalignment of the hitbox and the model. The second was due to the hitboxes protruding from the player's hull.

    The second problem has been solved in 3.0.5, but the first one needs a rework of the fade model and was never in the scope of a 3.0.x patch ( as it would also require a client patch ).


    If you do a comparison between 3.0.4 and 3.0.5 you should see that the problem has reduced a bit in 3.0.5.

    I think the hitreg depends on the server quality... of course the new hitbox code improved it, but some servers I play on, the hit registration still very bad... while in others it looks like I have 50 ping... (my normal ping is 200)

    Now that I've played the new version more... I think hitboxes are better. I am killing skulks in about 2/3 the bullets that it took me before; that's good.

    please don't use the name of the hook.. it only helps ppl who are searching for hacks. It's way harder to find hacks without knowing how they are named most times noobs will end up downloading trojans. So please never ever use names of the hooks/hacks there are allready enough lamers around using obvious speedhacks and other stuff that's not so obvious :/
