Jump attack input (skullsplitter) not working?
Posted: Tue Mar 20, 2018 9:19 pm
This might sound silly, but how do I perform the jump attack in OOTF?
Every description I've found, including the manual, points to pressing jump > crouch > attack - in sequence, a split second apart.
However, I can't seem to get it to work, no matter what I do.
I've tried just about every permutation imaginable: different timing, holding (or not holding) the keys, adding WASD into the mix; testing on level ground, on sloping ground, during near-fatal falls and during fatal falls, etc.
But all I get is the normal attack (sideways slash) animation, not a skullsplitter.
All the other special attacks I've tested, and they work perfectly fine, no problem whatsoever.
It shouldn't be a keyboard issue, either - on this keyboard I can use a wooden plank to press ALL the keys at once, and it has no problem registering that properly.
For the record, here's my software setup:
Level: Wartok Canyons, using Atimar's blade.
Patch 445 & 445++; dated 08/04/08, yes it's damn ancient all right.
10th Mod was installed at one point, and then uninstalled after some testing (shouldn't be relevant though?).
Currently running in developer mode, although IIRC this savegame was started in normal mode.
Keyboard+mouse only, no controllers.
