<div class="IPBDescription">Marine on aliens</div> Just came out of a game, don't remember where, but there was a guy named DuoGodofDeath on the alien team. Problem was, he was a marine, and moved as fast as a skulk. Anybody else see this?

Thansal · December 2002

hmm, there is a DuoGodOfDeath who is a member of myg0t, so it is possible

or it could have been the RR bug (yes it still exists, just much harder to pull of)

Turn_Around · December 2002

Yes this is already reported in the bug section.

Heresy_Fnord · December 2002

Almost the same...

I saw someone in game that initially looked like a marine but then suddenly switched to a skulk. We had just started and I figured my computer hadn't loaded his model yet for whatever reason. Never occured again as far as I know.

n00b101 · December 2002

Yeah maybe its a little conflict in the models. Who knows... I once saw a Fade buying ammo beside me at an Armory.... AHHHHHHH <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='asrifle.gif'>

Frogg2 · December 2002

No this is a bug. The aliens can turn into a marine but are faster than a skulk, and can use the lmg, pistol, and knife.

saberx · December 2002

Yup, saw two people doing this on my usual server today. There's a topic on this in the bugs section. This needs fixing ASAP.

Thansal · December 2002

well 1.04 is anounced and it will probably be fixed then (shouldn't be that hard, jsut disable a few simple things)

I hope so.

cindows_xp · December 2002

There is a fix for this problem out at the moment, go to the bug section and look for it there.

Thansal · December 2002

I did not see any fix listed (I see the report of it but no fix_

could you point it out?

SilverHorse · December 2002

I had one of the people show me how to do it. They are spreading it like wildfire.

Frizzled · December 2002

there's a fix via adminmod (if your favorite server has it installed):

bug your admins to install it

Metalizer · December 2002

Yeah. I was a fade and had a marine keep welding me to replenish my armor..but guess what...he was really an alien. I guess aliens are now evolving into super alien/marine-invasion-of-the-body-snatcher type aliens!
Marines beware! Your buddy may be an alien in disguise!

Supernorn · December 2002

whenever a new game begins, sometimes the marines are skulks or lerks...its funny to look at, lol.
it doesnt last that long though...

Larofeticus · December 2002

i've seen this three separate times tonight, ruined two games the third had an admin

heres one of the accursed exploters in action, notice the mm1 in alien yellow, the status containing wonid, and the conspicious "killed with welder" log, i hope two things: you reading this are a server admin, and you know what to do with that wonid ;P

You know voogru wrote a fix to that bug. If you want it, find the thread and d/l it.

SnappleS · December 2002

I just saw this happen and came here to post, but it seems I was too late. A guy using the nickname InfectedMarine had a marine skin and model, but was actually an alien in disguise. He was shooting all the marines, and knifed the CC.

Edcrab · December 2002

I know it's an exploit and all, but it sure as hell is funny. Some guy told me how to do it and I spent a hilarious five minutes **obscenity** off my LAN bots. Cloaked marine's. I mean, man.
Oh, and even worse, a certain alien upgrade decides to manifest itself as a marine upgrade at the same time with the exploit. Gah. If competent players start using this more then we're doomed... well, sort of.

It's not hilarious at all. TOTALLY ruins the game.

if you wanna see people exploiting this head on over to grapesoda.org's ns server... there was like 5 of em doing it last night, i joined aliens a few times only noticing severe lag and disconnections so i went marine to see: a marine knifing the command console, a marine knifing the turret factory and a marine knifing the armory (all seperate times) then later, ns_nothing had a guy doing it near the end of the game aliens losing... he was able to pickup a shotgun and a jetpack... guess they can pick just about anything up, he tried for armor but didnt make it any of the 4 times he tried, turrets got him before that... thank god turrets know whats friendly and whats not, although if you wanna know and hes just kinda playing around, look at the suspected enemy-marine-thing: on your screen there will either be a blue rectangle saying 'Friend - XXX' or orange saying 'Enemy - XXX' bleh, enough... also the guy that did it on ns_nothing said theres a bug that allowed commander to shoot, not sure how but he did explain how it worked: shots coming in from ceiling with no visible source and no sound (he didnt say if it did damage or not or if he had to reload etc.) and then theres weapons in readyroom, now this doesnt actually HAVE to be fixed, but im sure people will find a way to do it while in-game on aliens or something... (after alien-marine bug is fixed)
new name for alien-marines so we dont sound wierd:
infested marine... hey, a new evolution! (no? !*&%)

i just came out of a game with DuoGodofDeath, and he was chanting myg0t crap over and over, so it is that same myg0t guy...
