Thief · November 2003

O Fixed the bug where phase gates can be blocked by alien chambers. Now any structures on the phase gate (except a hive) will be killed when someone goes through. (bug #190).

<b>Bah!</b>

O Fixed bug where you couldn't +use (switches, phasegates) anything when reloading, or use sayings

<b>good <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'></b>

O Lerk Flight v2.0! Has both Flying (tap jump) and Gliding (hold jump). We have more work to do here, but I think you'll see that Max made him MUCH more maneuverable. Make sure to press in the direction you want to fly while flapping.

<b>YES</b>

MMZ_Torak · November 2003

I am SO glad that phase gates are fixed. GL changes are great and damage boosts to charge and leap will hopefully make those abilities useful for more than locomotion again.

What does the "AvHBaseReloadableWeapon" actually mean? I'm assuming that the "artwork" is an altered GL reload anim (not sure though). Is it something to do with the "feed ammo at armoury directly in gun" thing that was taken out due to GL-Armoury spam? Just curious.

Norml_E_High · November 2003

Yeah, I'll admit I'll miss the dropping a chamber ont he phase gate... guess we'll have to find a new thing to do <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>. I'm assuming the GL reloading like shotgun thing means, when you only fire one nade off a full clip, then reload it, it won't play through a full "slide in 4 cartridges" animation. Also, allowing us to fire one round off once it goes into the GL.

<img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'> I can't wait to try the new version.

As far as any of us should be concerned, it just means that you can reload the GL shot by shot rather than having to do a full clip at once, just like the shotgun does. It also means that any new shotgun bugs will affect the GL as well <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'> The GL reload animation needs to be divided up so it will make sense if you only load one nade.

But YAY! I might actually use charge now, since it actually does some damage.

Somehow I think the kharaa overflow thing is to help out the rest of the team when you have max res (like the 100-res-storing onos of doom you are), your unusable res will be split amongst the team (kinda like in 1.04). Make endgame go faster by increasing res income, basically. I couldn't tell you about any specifics, naturally.

so lerk has bite, does it have spikes still too though?

I really like the 2.01 spikes, since theyre the only long range weapon aliens have til fades get acid rockets.

How often is there a hive on the phase gate? It would be slightly unfair if a player using the pg killed the hive on the other end, especially since the comm can place the pg about 5 feet over to avoid the hive.

Currently, the lerk does not have spikes.

The new collision system makes it so that even if the marine did spawn "inside" the hive when we walks through the phase gate, he will still not get stuck.

I don't think it's possible for the comm to place a PG in such a way that this would happen, but we wanted to make sure there was no way to exploit it.

Perhaps you didn't notice, that he was gonna make it so there will be an automatic spacing to each building.

taboofires · November 2003

And the electricity range probably isn't massively increased: just enough to prevent creative people from not getting zapped, and maybe a little bit more because of the spacing thing.
