Hey all -

Q1 - Is there a way to track the names that players use? I saw some peeps
talking about it on a server - but I didnt take enough notice untill it was
too late. They spoke of a register or something - using the guid?

Q2 - I was playing 69pickup the other night - and was waiting at the rail
when I heard someone use the pad underneath - so I turned to rail him - and
I swear the figure was coming up to me in a horizontal postition - as if the
character was lying flat on its stomach - and he railed me first. Is this
possible? - to change the way a player appears to move through the air? It
was the first and only time I have seen this. And no - I was not smoking
anything. Smile

Cheers -

I thought it could have been a model issue - but I dont have any extra skins
loaded - and so I would not see a different skin used by another player (it
would default to sarge). I think now that it was a 'warping' as the player
was pushed from the pad beneath. I have seen bodies (characters) do some
wild things in this game.. lol. Cheers tho -

Ok - NO. I just saw it again - and this time I can see where it came from.
On the same map - 69pickup - a player comes up from the water - onto the
pad - and jumps upwards - but the figure is still acting like it would if it
was still in the water - that is - it is horizontal and as if still
swimming - but as it goes through the air. I put the crack pipe down some
time ago - this is real. How is this so? Fault - or fix? - Cheers -
