<div class="IPBDescription">Missing alien attacks</div> Whenever I play 2.0 as aliens, some alien weapons are not selectable and do not show up on the top part of the HUD, specifically the Onos #2 & 3 attacks and fade #2 & 4. I have reinstalled version 2.0 several times, redownloaded it, and it still is there. What can I do?

ok, start a LAN game
in the conn type:
bind 1
bind 2
bind 3
bind 4 (or what ever your wep select keys are)
if you don't get back responses telling you they are bound to slot1, slot2, slot13, slot4 respectivly then there is the problem and simply rebind them
else type these in:
hud_fastswitch 0
sv_cheats 1
bigdig
bind i givepoints (where i is an unussed key, spam it for rez)
spawnhive (2 times after joining aliens)
now evolve to the problem evolutions and simply press each key one time to see if they pop up, come back and give results
This sounds like a server problem if it stuck after multiple installs
did it actualy say that 1 was bound to slot1 and 2 to slot2 and 3 to slot 3 and 4 to slot4?
were you able to select all the other attacks when you did this?
if so, uninstall all mods and HL then reinstall HL, patch it, redownload and reinstall 2.0
(/me pokes every one else, if he did as he said he has played on a LAN with 3 hives)
look mate, if yu don't help us out we can't help you

cmon man, give us actual facts.....
you are not being helpful, thus we can't help you
tell me WHAT the results were from my test!!
and in the meen time, DON'T TRY TO RUN A SERVER! lol, there is no need, there are planty of servers out there
I ran the tests, and everything was normal.
If I try and use the previously said attacks, they don't change, and it doesnt show up on the top part that i have an attack there at all.
then DEL your sierra dir
then a full reinstall.
update metamod.
You've got an old version of metamod that didn't have the entities for the new weapons. www.metamod.org
That or disable metamod.
Otherwise, there should be no reason you're having these issues unless you installed metamod or adminmod (comes with metamod bundled sometimes-often old version).
Onos #2 and #3 = Devour and Stomp. Both new abilities.
Fade #2= Blink
Fade #3=Metabolize <- this one should be failing
Fade #4=Acid Rocket.
/me pokes the admin type...
could you make a stikah with this info? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> (I know its gona come up again)

So wait, when he explained it, you accepted that answer..
but when I said 2 lines about metamod being out of date you ignored it <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
It was a common thread when 2.0 first came out, but its not really that common anymore
I figgured he was having this problem on other peoples servers and that it occured

(I had also not heard of said borked problem, I was kinda away during the release of 2.0 <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->)
The 2nd type of problem is MUCH more annoying because it seems to be caused client side rather then serverside. This is when a select a ability like leap or some other ability and find that i cant use it. I bite and bite and no animation plays no sound plays ect. If i turn off hud_fastswitch at these times you can notice that the ability is red, as if i didnt have the required hives to do that ability. Clearly this cant be the case as some of these abilties are hive 1 abilities and i did spawn and have hives. This even sometimes happens at the hive 3 time and ALL my abilties are unable to be used. After some trial and error I have found that in this case the abilites really are being used and reconized by the server. ie if i bite someone twice they die even though no bite sound was played or animation. This also may be the reason that sometimes rines or skulks "seem" to make no sound when fireing/biteing. This is really not usualy a problem as you can still kill stuff, but its most annoying is that blink/charge/leap dont work. The energy bar drains but no sound/animation plays and i dont go anywhere. As a skulk killing yourself and respawning usualy fixes the problem, but as a fade it just wastes 50 res <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> and a non blinking fade sucks. I have also had it happen where i can blink and do other stuff for a while. Then mid game i stop being able to blink for some reason or some other ability doesnt work. I have also had times were i can leap/para/xeno but cant bite, or other wierd combinations of missing abilities. This has happened on many many servers and it doesnt happen all the time nor even usualy. I hope this can be fixed esp the blink/leaping/charge problem.
