Post by: Lakitu7 on February 22, 2008, 07:08:58 pm: I like the Dretch taunt. However, the Basy's is hard to hear and comes out delayed (you're usually better off using the jump sound). If anything, I'd rather see that one addressed.

It's delayed for its animation. Do cg_thirdperson 1 cg_thirdpersonangle 180 and watch the animation.

1. Don't quote a post containing a quote without removing the nested quote.
2. Don't quote large images.
3. Thats normal Trem sizes, man.

Thank you for the advice and as the other post pointed out (to my embarrassment) it isn't the right uniforms

what do you think the current dretch taunt is useless for what is for taunting the humans i can barely hear it. ok this is a stupid idea but maybe something like a cricket but longer i don't know post your ideas here yours are much better then mine hopefully

Do what I do: alternately press the jump and taunt keys in rapid succession.
Works for making the dretch audible, and makes any other alien quite a PITA to listen to. Brings the hummies right around the corner for a quick luncheon with friends. xD

Maybe like a cricket noise that you can leave on. Like a mating call, didodidodiodiodidodidodidodidodidodidodidodidodid odidodidodidoooooo

Post by: Taiyo.uk on February 27, 2008, 03:02:16 am: Yes. Of course.

Why not just give them a mobile phone with the crazy frog ringtone.

yeah, lol!

k, ontopic....
it is SO easy to change the sound.... infact, i changed the default tyrant taunt into a loud, long belch.... ;P, which was surprisingly funny....but annoying to say the least....xD

Title: Re: dretchs should have a better and louder taunt
Post by: Cobalt on April 01, 2008, 07:59:31 pm: Perhaps just finding a way to make the default dretch sound comparatively louder than the surrounding sounds. :dragoon:
Title: Re: dretchs should have a better and louder taunt
Post by: blood2.0 on April 04, 2008, 03:18:05 am: or maybe a loud but short taunt.

0_o!!! BAD IDEA!!! I would have to forswear Tremulous for eternity!!! My clanmate would love it.
Title: Re: dretchs should have a better and louder taunt
Post by: Amtie on May 17, 2008, 11:57:11 pm: Yeah, and have that taunt make you a walking stereo/radio for 3 minutes or whatever. A walking radio ingame! The best!

Now, I am scared. I will run. Away. Fast. Then again, that would be slightly amusing. Especially if you could hide on the wrong side of a wall (as in, using the map, not a wall glitch. Though that might work too...) and blare loudly. Especially death metal!
