Upsidedown Skulk picture

<div class="IPBDescription">yes I know about the 1000 other topics</div> Type cl_pitchup 300 or some high number, then look up, up, up until you are all the way around. Only problem is that your movement and mouse are reversed. I'm also pretty sure that the model looks absolutely hilarious when you do this too.

lol ill give it a try

This is the way ns as a skulk should be. It'd rock, but unfortunately halflife can't support it <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'>

I love the picture!

Untrue. In beta-testing, the skulk's view actually aligned to the wall, a la AvP. Flayra ultimately decided that the current system would be less disorienting for new players.

<b>From a PT: Actually, it never orientated to the wall during playtesting, but it was considered. </b>

And, aside from the attempts to look down and walk foward while on the ceiling, I agree.

My favorite thing about the Internet is that you get to go into the private world of real creeps without having to smell them.

Inf wants free form rotation as an OPTIONAL setting (off by default) some of us don't get disorientated =/

Soral · February 2003

I'd love this! I loved descent, and wasn't disoriented at all. If this could be made optional I'd be a very happy skulk.

And I recant my comment about it being impossible in Halflife. Apparently I don't know everything. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

My friend and I are working on a model change for the skulk that puts legs jutting out at every angle to support the current model apperance on walls <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Hmm, I'd like to see it tested in the general community. I was always of the assumption the HL engine couldn't handle it

Also, how do you make skulks moonwalk? Saw a guy do it the other day and almost wet myself laughing <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

I would have it so that by pressing and holding duck you orientated to walls...

Docano · February 2003

Many people said flips and such that turn the view upside-down were impossible in the Half-Life engine, but the HL mod The Opera did it about a year ago. (I think this's the same concept.)

Sevendashseven · February 2003

I considered this limitless view for the Lerk flight ideas I've previously voiced, it would be pretty neat to be able to do loops <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

SoulSkorpion · February 2003

I like it as it is. There's really no need to force it to flip upside down.

A pair of binds to make, for servers that don't auto-kick for having odd cl_pitchup and cl_pitchdown values:

bind FloorMovement "cl_pitchup 89.9999;cl_pitchdown 89.9999;m_yaw 0.022"
bind RoofMovement "cl_pitchup 179.9999;cl_pitchdown -90.0001;m_yaw -0.022"

RoofMovement, whatever key you actually bind it too, will flip your view upsidedown and 'fix' your controls so they still turn left and right properly, effectively flipping the entire level upside down in the process. :-) Just remember, you're going to fall UPWARDS then. And people will look at you VERY strangely because of the sudden flip your model does every time you cross looking 'straight ahead' now. =^.^=

A skulk with cl_pitchdown 99999 or whatever is hilarious third person because if you "walk" backwards it looks like your character model is walking forwards on its hind legs. Trust me, my friend and i have messed around with it in the ready room before. (The gorge is even funnier though) remind me to get an SS later <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

I still think the walk key should stick you to the walls...

I'll try to code an avp-like movement for HL... if I'll manage to understand this **** pm_shared.c file...

The Specialists also does a bit of model rotation, although they do not rotate the view for the same reasons that the view is not rotated in Natural Selection. Existence also has rolling and model rotation, as well as view rotation.
