<div class="IPBDescription">ns_bast, without using the lift.</div> For those of you who dont know, in the old version of bast access to the little vent where the lift at marine start was really easy from jumping onto the ladder and then into the vent. This is still possible though a little more abstract than some players may know how. As I see this vent as very crucial to rush and sneak attacks in all stages of the game I shall now explain briefly how you can get into the vent from marine start with the 3 crucial properties of:
1. No health damage is taken.
2. Accessed from the very top of the lift to the vent for speed.
3. 100% success rate.
Ok, so this is really simple but so effective and relatively unknown. Here goes:
For the sake of practice I recommend using private LAN server till you get the hang of it (should take no longer than 5 minutes, hopefully if Ive explained this right on the first try.)
[1] Position yourself near the lift shaft making sure the lift is down.
[2] Face and run towards the farthest ladder (the one near the vent).
[3] On reaching the edge of the lift shaft jump then hold crouch (you may have to circle-jump or circle-strafe jump to make it though I dont think its necessary.) [Check A: You land successfully on the ladder without dmg and not the bar in the middle]
[4] Go down the ladder as quickly as possible to jump below the vent.
[5] Use forward movement and right strafing to move up the ladder again. Then aim you movement so that you can leave the ladder slightly above the middle of the vent at an angle roughly 30-40 degrees.
[6] Use and hold the forward+right strafe to move off the ladder, then just before youre about to hit/pass the vent hold crouch. Also look into a rough bottom left area of the vent.
[7] If the height of the strafe (at the vent) was correct you should now be in a dark reddish tunnel. ;/
Using this method I managed to get into the vent 15 times in consecutive succession, apart from that I cannot vouch for its accuracy.

In that case......... usually I just get on the lift, crouch at the edge, and walk into the vent when the lift passes it.
And it doesent take 5 minutes to learn either.... <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Edit: Basically what necro said... diddnt fully read his post... lol ( <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> )
I have tried a couple of times to strafe across and up on the ladder and get in the vent and failed, I guessed I just didn't have the height right. So I assume this is what you're tlaking about? You should really include a demo as it's almost impossible to understand what you are trying to describe.

That's actually possible, but I'm not sure if it is the same method that Ziggy is describing here. It could have been explained alot better if it is.
Clicky <a href='http://www.nothing.f9.co.uk/bast.zip' target='_blank'>here</a> for a demo.
<b>EDIT:</b> lol - demos are almost identical <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
