Rancor Bug

m.pontus · 02-14-2010, 06:34 PM

Hello. I'm sorry for posting without previous search, but I was tired to find something with such keywords. Also please excuse my funny english.
I will explain the situation: I was playing JA 1.00 on LHJ Siege server on map siege_desert. Not sure if it's important but here's enabled nMod. I have played with jedi which (on this server) has single saber and as far as i remember I had yellow style for all time.
When I proceeded to rancor arena, this rancor accidentally eaten me. The most interesting part, that after it's finish I was still alive inside him. I was shocked for some seconds to realize that. He tried to move but without luck just as me. I sabered him from inside and made my way through. After that I was still alive, I could use all my powers but was completely invisible. That's it.
Additional information, when rancor holded me I used kata and crouch in random. If i'm not finally wrong, when it was supposed to finish it's dinner I fallen on earth and just in a moment i became inside him. But this may be from another time, i'm not sure.
I tried to reproduce it several times, trying different combinations, but... without luck.
That's why i'm posting it here, I want to know is this a known bug, is this because of server's modifications or it can be reproduced anywhere. Anyway, it's cool bug (and yea I know in which way it can be used though).

http://www.xfire.com/video/1e5a77/ - was it like that?

Yes, nizwiz. This is exactly what I saw.
How stupid may i be to think that for so many years there was left undiscovered bugs.
And this one is more than simple, what disappoints me though. ^Amazon name is familiar to me.
Never seen this player as bug user, which is playing to his advantage. Thank you for dispelling my doubts!

The first time the player died he took damage from all the Rancor's attacks.
The second life didn't take any damge even though the player was repeatedly smashed.

That could mean god mode is required?

Well, I don't know about multiplayer, but even with god mode on SP, if a rancor eats you, you're toast. It's a code thing, not a health thing. It's an instant kill.

when i use this bug in SP, i sometimes show up as just a pair of walking legs instead of invisible. its pretty entertaining.
