[L4D] [SM 1.3] Block ghost duck exploit 1.5 - Page 2

So, boomers dont produce any sounds when crouched too? I just never noticed that, if thats so, then running at ghost speed boomer may be a bit imba =) Anyway i never saw someone used this exploit. I usually host 20 players game and its usually no need in increased speed even for boomers, since there are many action happening and survivors always busy fighting someone (or something =).

Basically, once they spawn it lets them keep their ghost speed (or around the speed of the ghost, so they move much faster than normal) fully ducked, and they make no noises. Hunters can pounce instantly. Since they are fully crouched (without even pressing the crouch button) once they press the crouch button, it stand them back up and returns to normal. So this forces them to stand back up on spawn.

Hunters can NOT pounce instantly. They still need to "really" crouch before they can pounce.

Valve Fixed it or not?

Yes they can, Valve didn't fix it.

Atomic is correct. Hunters do not need to do a crouch after spawning to do a pounce.

With the boomers\smokers i've had mixed results when testing the exploit itself. Sometimes they made noise, othertimes they did not. However, they definitely moved faster than normal.

Now that is incorrect too.

Once spawned, they can only move with their usual top speed. However the entire acceleration delay doesn't apply, you always move with top speed instead of getting faster for a second or so.

The jump does the usual screaming, but the crouching before is silent.

I see

Can someone verify that 1.2 is working for them? Someone said it wasn't in-game, but it seemed to work fine for me.

Tried the 1.0 version with SM 1.2 yesterday.

"Problem" is now that every spawning hunter is making loud noise as if crouched and prepared to pounce, even if standing... So a silent spawn, run and bash (to incap a 6 HP survivor) is not possible with this plugin, as long as exploit has not been fixed upstream.
It's not a bug report, it's just a report

The 1.1+ versions do not suffer from that problem

The 1.0 is really a hack to get it working with SM 1.2 and not use gameframe hooking.
