<div class="IPBDescription">walking on ceilings</div> alright, i'm new to this game, just started playing a couple days ago and am enjoying it. one thing about the skulks and ceilings. i noticed that wen there is a dip or something in the ceiling the skulk just falls. thought it'd be nice to make crawling on ceilings a little easier if you automatically adjusted to this dip. this would also go for walls. it'd make it a little easier and more realistic to see a skulk running smoothly across a wall or ceiling.

    I heard that it might get smoothed out in 3.0, but if you mean to every single nook and cranny, you can't possibly do that without adding another 50 megs or so to the game just for a skulk model and coding.

    I think you are overstating things slighty.

    Regardless, this exists because a skulk treats all brushes like ladders. This includes ones on celings. Note that you almost never see ladders on celings. This is an issue with the way the HL engine deals with ladder climbing, and I doubt flay will ever be able to totally fix it unless we end up with somthing like AVP (atmospheric, but confusing).

    Let me guess, your view tilts/rolls according to the wall?

    For the sake of motion sickness, it's much easier to keep the view constant.. heh. Glad he realized this. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    It would be so much more cool to have Alien vs Predator wall climbing.
    Maybe the rolling of the view is a little too much, but a button you press to totally get stuck on walls would be great!

    Yes a button would be good, if its pressed, you can walk on walls and the ceiling, otherwise you can only jump off the walls and ceiling.

    As one of the devs stated (I believe it was max), "Some things are easier said than done."

    Yeh it was discussed before it was how the skulk handled wallclimbing as if it was a ladder and trying to get round corners on a ladder is very hard if youve ever noticed.
