Bug Or Exploit?

BigBull · January 2004

<div class="IPBDescription">Cloaking</div> One of the people on my server said he turns his gamma all the way up ingame and brightness and everything and it helps him see cloaked people?

Anyway to prevent this? Or is it just tough ****?

lol

I can't believe somebody with 1000+ posts is asking this....

No, there isn't a way to stop it. I wouldn't lose any sleep over this. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'> <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/skulk.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='skulk.gif'>

I think it's tough ****.

I think the only fair fix to this is to make cloaked aliens completely invisible, that way specific players wouldn't have an advantage by tweaking their gamme/brightness.

Theres nothing more annoying than being shot as a cloaked alien in ambush because somehow they can see you. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'>

Especially when you are evolving to onos... cloacked... under the hive.

I can very rarely see someone cloaked, but it does happen if I'm looking for it, and I don't have any gamma hax <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif'>

All you have to do really is stand still and dont move your mouse, and you will see the sneaky spectrum. I don't understand why people would want to go through all that trouble killing their eyes when it is so simple.

Lol. This is going to be fixed in 3.0 right?

Hunter_Extreme · January 2004

Well here is the way i do it
when you see the rine you wait and when he starts <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'>
you run towards him and <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/skulk.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='skulk.gif'> **CHOMP**
and he dies and you live so its all good

Hunter_Extreme · January 2004

no you get killed you dont shoot at me
so i run around not taking any damage then **Chomp** 2 points for me and no more rine

BigBull · January 2004

This isnt about getting killed. its about is this supposed to happen, and will it be changed.

Don't make aliens fully invisible, lock gamma if you have to, but don't make cloaked aliens invisible. I use my FlashLight to scan for Aliens, making myself MORE visible for a chance of making the enemy visible(Flashlight will outline cloaked ALiens). This i find fair, and i feel that shouldn't change. Gamma and Brightness should change, however, since you gain something for nothing...

xect · January 2004

Scythe, that would not be possible, because of on-monitor settings and because of the fact that every monitor and graphics card is different. I believe half-effective factors as cloaking can't get to work in a competitive environment. It has to be all or nothing, either you're visible or not. Being visible to those with high gamma only doesnt work. So I believe cloaking would be better off working fully.
