I have already privately made a skulk weapon replacement but I noticed that the alien teeth act as sort of a disadvantage if they are placed in the same position as the skulk teeth, because the alien teeth have less gaps in between the teeth, making the viewspace less. If the teeth are moved any further out of the way to correct this problem, I think that would border on cheating, so I have abandoned that project and stuck with the default.

I already can't see anything when biting with the Skulk. How much worse could it be? Release! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'>

Yeah, Daphisto, release it! Even though it makes everything even worse, we need that shiznaz to get the "Aliens"-replacements complete!

I wish they'd change the skulk bite system. Power up the marines, take out their weapon flare, I don't care. As long as changing the skulk teeth won't be considered cheating anymore. I mean, compared to claws, it looks horrid. It doesn't "look" like your biting something, and it feels so cramped in there. I want to see my skulks lunge out with claws slashing, not shut their damn eyes.

Release! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'>

Trust me, it's definitely worse. If the demand for this model is popular, I may take another stab at it.

Wolf_Kahler · January 2003

Good enough for me.

Release release!!!

I don't think it gives that much of an advantage. Before, I changed the skulk bite into the fade claws just because it was so much cooler. And indeed, it was a lot cooler! I was actually HITTING the damn resource tower instead of closing my eyes <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'>

However, I noticed I was kicking butt in that game, so I wondered if it was because I can see. So I turned it back to default, and play a few more games. Same performance. In fact, I'd say I played better, since I was kicking the butts of some really smart marine players.

If anything, the skulk bite exploit is like 1/20th as bad as the bunny hopping in combat marine exploit. That's only my experience with it though.

Anywhooooo, Release! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'>

thats considered cheating my friend <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='mad.gif'>

Really, does anybody care that much about the skulk teeth and muzzle flash "exploits"? I hardly notice either of them, the thing that screws me over the most is my mouse constantly getting stuck when im trying to turn. I've been knifed in every alien form but Onos cuz of my stupid mouse -_-

CBD-Ikariya · January 2003

Ppl who just can't accept that there are better players than them would care. The advantages are minimal, and I really would not mind if ppl used them. Bright models for one are infinitely more advantageous than some stupid bite model. Plus, balancing issues like constant jumping by the marines in combat will totally disorient you, model or not.

Anyhow, since it is considered cheating according to Flayra, I have stopped using them long ago. I only used them for 4 games back when I wasn't even at these forums yet. That's when I found out that such a petty thing WAS considered cheating, so I switched back (though there was no noticable difference.)

But since the file check is on everything, does that mean me changing the "bitehit" sounds to the zergling hit sound is cheating too?

Vash, that happens to me too. I'm using an old intellemouse, and the damn laser can't keep up with my high speed turning. It goes wack and has cost me many an easy kill. That's why I hate the marine bunny hop. I can't turn in time if they hop right over me.

Edit: I really shouldn't call Flayra, Frayja <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'>

you know talking about teeth change and muzzle flash? thats nothing.. caught a guy using spikes today. he was shooting at a wall with out anything there.. idiot forgot to wait till the alien came around corner. we were both rines and we didnt have movement. spikes are cheats the teeth fix is just that in my mind.,. a fix.

Smoke_Nova · January 2003

According to the Dev. Team (Flayra for the most part), The bite anim is supposed to inhibit the player. It inhibits me so much that when I do use skulk, I run around biting like a chicken with it's head thwacked off. Plus, my average 8 FPS w/ Fade claws really would give me a big advantage over those 45 FPS marines with HMG's.

If Someone has the know how and is willing to help a sad bastage enjoy being the skulk a little more could they make the fade claw the default for Skulk bite?

This post will probably get nerfed by Flayra or one of the Forum Mod's so...VIVA LA, ahh heck with it.
