A Few Questions

<div class="IPBDescription">I know, the title is a bit silly, but...</div> Ok, here goes.

1) Yesterday I was accused, that I am an idiot, because I don't know, how to kill a Fade! Ok, I don't know WHAT and WHERE are <i>Hitboxes</i>? Cuold someone help me at this point?

2) I found people abusing the <i>/stuck</i>-thingy to go through walls and get into the places, that are not reachable other way. For example: ns_hera from the marine start to get that is behind the weldable door. 2nd e.g. ns_hera alsothe Vent 3-C hive the big ventilation above, to get behing the bars there.

3) I had a bug [may be a wrong place to post. If yes - I'm sorry]: it was ns_nothing and I could leap without costing any Energy with only one hive. Though, leap din't do any damage it was just a way to move around and people saw me leap also. It was only after my 2nd death my game went back to normal. Anyone ever experienced something simmilar? (I can provide a Screenshot if needed.)

Thank you all in advance.

    The hitboxes are the places where you can actually hit the fade. Shoot at the point where the legs connect to the torso or just shoot him in the **** <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    not really. If' you shoot an onos in the head, when he is standing with his left or right side to you doesn't do any damage (no blood comes out <-- don't call me n00b, please. I've heard that enough when being a com.)-

    Sorry to cunfuse you: I didn't mean to understand HOW to kill a Fade (I know, I have to shoot: once I even killed one with 1 clip from LMG), I mean. not always you hit an alien, event hou it's not moving. Some bullets "hit" the target, but do no damage. (May be I am talking something stupid, but that's what I noticed)

    1. Hitboxes are the places that record the damage a player gets, so in order for me to shoot you in the arm, a hitbox needs to be added right where the arm is. Now the hitboxes are all there, but apparantly NS didn't quite use them properly in 1.0 and neither did it in 2.0. In 3.0 this problem will hopefully be fixed.
    Untill then, you can use these links to learn more about where the hitboxes are and where to shoot:

    <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=1&t=45243&hl=' target='_blank'>Onos hitbox</a>

    <a href='http://www.muppetking.com/index.php?mn=menu.php?ci=7&bd=halflife.shtml' target='_blank'>Smaller alien life form hitboxes</a>

    2. Yes. Some people enjoy spamming /stuck, abusing the /stuck plugin and being a general nubbins by not helping their team to win the game but just waste everyones time by exploiting glitches in the maps. Proper admins on a server will act appropriately, or they won't if they don't care. I fail to see an actual question in point "two" so on to point three!

    3. Yup that's a bug and others have had it before you, it'll hopefully be fixed in 3.0 as well. Untill then just have some fun with it when it happens <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Hope that helps m8,

    Cheers

    1: aim somwhere low

    2: yes ive seen that. in Hera, theres this glass tube outside ms yeah? once a fade was on top of it, i was under. he typed /stuck, which made him sink through the glass. i found myself dead a few seconds later. dunno about your other examples

    3: ive had that and thought it was funny as hell, being able to use leap as blink basically. buzzing above ms leaping was a right laugh
