<div class="IPBDescription">help me</div> first off this is not in bug report because it's only a bug I have myself, I've seen noone else having it
ok now If I play alien as a skulk and we have 2 hives I could do leap right?
so ok I switch to leap and use it, it pulls from my energy, I see the animation, I hear the leap sound but NOTHING happens, just nothing.
same with teleport, as a fade I switch to teleport, I try to use it, see the animation, but NOTHING happens, again.
do you have any idea what that could be?
I got laughed at because I said I didn't know how to teleport.... it was just that it never worked!
I reinstalled natural selection and it didn't help a bit <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

Try aiming up a little bit from your intended destination. Remember that the crosshairs are where your head goes! Jump, crouch, then blink. Blinking onto a marine and slashing him is usually a lot better (and makes you look better) than spamming acid rockets at him. It generally isn't good for trying to get into tight spots, as you will get stuck often. If you blink a lot then I recommend playing in only servers with Hullu's plugin
Tips for leaping-
Aim up and click. No need for jump or anything. This also makes a good attack, as it does good damage and you move around fast. Try leap into bite combos for pure pwnage.
I can stand in a free room aim up press leap and it will cost energy, I get the sound, I see the animation, but as I said I don't move one inch
For me it doesn't work 1 in 10 times. It works those other 9. Try practicing, and you'll fall in love with Blink <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
It's as if leap does the sound, animation, and energy loss, but otherwise you don't get anything out of it. Ditto for blink--it's not that you're doing it wrong, it's that it simply doesn't activate.
I haven't seen this bug recently, but it DID exist and wasn't just user error.

Yup. I love blinking right into the middle of a crowd of marines or even behind them and then start hacking away. It's the "proper" way to use a fade, really. If it was just acid rocket spam, it wouldn't be half as fun as it could be.
So if I am trying to blink in this hallway and there is an egg in the way [.................] like this [.......0.......] I wont blink past it, cause I cant go through it. Give it a shot =)
I posted bug reports about it before and they seem to have been ignored.
Just check when you do it if the "leap" or "blink" icon in the HUD is red, if so it's the same problem as I had.
Basically it seems like the game thinks you don't have as many hives as you actually do, but usually you can do the attack/function but the animations don't work. For example, if acid rocket was "redded" out, you could fire with no animation but it would still do damage where it hit. However with attacks such as blink and leap where the effect relies on the animation (transportation) then it seems to not work whatsoever.
Blink and leap dident work although they have earlier...
All other attacks worked though...
From no-hive attacks to 3-hives attacks
Really odd...
Kinda fun to leap while standing still though
hehe
Otherwise, this is just a weird bug. Try downloading another copy of ns from another site; i've dl'ed corrupted copies of mods now and then.
What's really weird is that leap doesn't work for you. Blink is truly a bit quirky sometimes, but leap should always work. What are your computer specs? Maybe your hardware or os has something to do with the quirkyness of leap.
move your config.cfg file out of your Ns directory
ns will make a new one with defult sets
worth a try if it dont work just put your origanal config back
