The skulk taunt silently disappeared quite a number of builds ago. It was "replaced" by the skulk chuckle sound instead. It would be nice to get it back.

    A very long ago I replaced the original Skulk taunt sound with chuckle due to high demand. It's unlikely I will change it back. I would make the chuckle sound the taunt sound but then it would replace it for all lifeforms

    Here's a great place to request the xenophorm spotted bind again :D

    Is that so? Looking through old threads it seems that what people actually wanted was the ability to bind chuckle to a key, not have it replace the taunt.

    And in this thread you are saying that it was done without you or 90% of the PT knowing. AFAIK the chuckle sound is now bindable* and so all that has really changed is the loss of the "real" skulk taunt.

    * Don't quote me on this.

    I prefer the chuckle for skulk over the old sound. Although, I hope the gorge taunt never gets replaced, its so great :)

    Yeah, I also think the chuckle is a more appropriate taunt sound rather than the old growl. However, I don't see why it would be too difficult to have them both available.

    The skulk growled in a kind of way. The chuckle is definitely a better taunt but completely removing the old sound is quite a shame.

    Edit: If you type "chuckle" in the console it will for some reason play the old skulk taunt.

    It can play two different sounds that way. One with some lip/jaw sound.

    Mine is the gorge and when someone calls me its the beacon sound. Either way people get freaked out.

    That's actually pretty neat. I might do something like that as well.

    The demand was to have chuckle and taunt both available at the press of a key,
    the demand was not for skulktaunt.wav file to be replaced with chuckle.wav

    So now every life form can chuckle OR taunt except the skulk. Heck, even EGGS have two separate sounds for chuckle and taunt.

    Oh I just noticed @d4rkAlf‌ mentioned everything I was mentioning. Good jurb :)

    @meatmachine, you make me think about some other guy in some other thread that doesn't know the edit fonction.

    Apart the fact that you edited all your 3 messages already.
