Yeah most people know that, but its good for those who dont <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'> Sometimes, when people say/write it, its because they dont want the aliens to hear them <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'>

...This would, of course, only apply to heated battles where stealth mode wasnt necessary.

the problem is with aliens: when you need healing and there's a gorge, I don't think he'd understand trhat grrrpppfff u say...

I dont understand why those alien sounds are like that? Why those "need healing, i am building here" sayings cant be english? Nobody doesn't know what those weird sounds are, if you use them in game <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'> . They should sound same as those sounds which comes when hive, res tower, other alien or structure is under attack.

My guess is, the developers wanted the Kharaa to have their OWN language...this way they can communicate and the Frontiersman won't have any idea of what's being said, they'll just hear strange noises, which they're hearing already!
However, Depot has no desire to learn the language....<img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'>

From what I understand when you use the Khaara comms something shows up on the hivesight. I myself have never seen any of the Khaara comms on hivesight but I have used the "I need healing!" Khaara comm near a gorge and he came over and healed me. He must have known that I needed healing somehow.

That could mean that he either looked at your hp circle, or that he knew that sound(used it himself) and understood what you wanted.

They show up on Hive Sight BUT ONLY to those that are aiming to your circle so that they see your nick
Then they see something like "Puistokemisti chuckles"

Stoneburg · January 2003

Shouldn't TSA sounds sound like "blagbrahabluh" or something to the Kharaa? I mean if their language sounds like it does it seems unlikely that they would understand english. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'>

I think that the terran voice should sound like

Blubbab riblubba grub! to the Kharaa like Stoneburg said, and then terran should be able to understand it.

And then when terrans hear the kharaa talking it should sound like RIGGIDDY BLEHHHH!!!! but to the Kharaa it should sound like "ME NEEDS HEALTH!"

Puistokemisti · January 2003

I have been thinking that something like that would be neat but is it possible to change the soundfile being played depending on the team you are in?
I haven't even touched the HL engine itself so I have no idea

But all other messages except chuckle should display themselves on hive sight even though you aren't aiming at that player

Lucid · January 2003

ya if you right click and select the need healing option other aliens will see "yournamehere needs healing" if they point at you.

One problem with that though, if your marines need ammo/health and one of your bases is being attacked, the comm chair will go directly to the base where its attacked when you press the "jump" button, not the marine that needs health/ammo.

Depot · January 2003

<img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/siege.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='siege.gif'> That is a problem, om occasion. Still, it works MUCH batter than voice re: "gimmmeee sum ammo comm" and you're supplying 3 different battles not knowing wtf he is.

Empty · January 2003

which reminds me, why the hell did they put a ready room thing under the comm as aliens. i accidently hit it in the middle of a big fight and i got sent straight to the ready room. god damn it i was ****.

Maveric · January 2003

kwikloader you better change your sig size befor a mod/admin sees it (Coil or Fam for example)... unless its all under the proper proportions (which i doubt it is <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'> )

and yes, thats a grand idea. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

You can change the sound files to something else, but you'll have to name it the same as the previous file and you won't beable to join servers with file consistancy set to 1 (on).
