General / Ns 3.0 Beta To Be Released
« on: January 23, 2004, 08:10:47 PM »
Quote
We have made great progress on 3.0, and are close to release. Many people thought that when we announced we were releasing "this holiday season", that mean before New Year's Eve. We apologize if that was misleading. We take our release dates very seriously and don't want to mislead people. It's been changed to "this winter", to avoid any more confusion. We had a January release in mind, and we hope to be able to stick to that...

In order to facilitate communication with the community, we've set up a few NS mailing lists. We have one for mappers to learn about late-breaking news and get their questions answered, one for file mirrors, and (soon) one to keep up to date with community events. These lists will soon be integrated more directly with the site and the forums, but they are functional now. Click the "mailing lists" link above to join. Of course, we will never ever spam you or give out your information to anyone. The lists are just getting going, but they're functional, so go sign up for any you are interested in.

After many months of productive playtesting and balance work with around 2000 Constellation members and Veterans, we feel like we are ready for the next step. We just can't get the kind of balance and compatibility testing we need by running all the playtest servers ourselves, and we want to give back to the ever-patient greater NS community. So instead of waiting until v3.0 is totally complete before release, we're going to release the beta to the public. We don't have the exact date yet, but we expect that the v3.0g beta is the build we're going to release to everyone, just as soon as we get everything in order.

The NS dev team wants to personally thank everyone that helped test, and especially to the Constellation members that have donated to further NS development. If you see any Constellation members on a server, be sure to thank them for their contributions. Without their contributions, you probably wouldn't even be playing v2.01 right now...


I, for one, welcome this release, but it might annoy some consties: "OMG I PAID $5.00 TO GET TEH ICON AND DIS IS HOW DEY REPAY ME"

Discuss.

I'm extremely fustrated.

Countless times i have lost several outposts/games/etc. due to lack of groups.

Instance 1:
That hive should've gone down, and it would have if i didn't have to go to base, find the obs, click it with all the crap around it, and THEN press a to scan and seige.

Instance 2:  
<Crack> Omg, Lito, why arn't I squad 5?
<Lito> Steam is stupid and doesn't like remapped keys, so i can't make groups.
<Crack> LIES! U h8 me!
<Lito> omg nuu~!
<Crack> </3

Instance 3:
<@gentorange> (TEAM SAY) Uhh, comm, i'm not respawning
<Lito> (TEAM SAY) What in holy hell are yo- OH FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! PHASE BACK! PHASE BACK!
<Lito> I didn't hear a base-attack warning, wtf...
<Lightning Blue & Crack as Onos> gg nublets

Instance 4:
<crack> God damnit, comm, i asked for a medpack like 5 minutes ago
<Lito> oh...i don't see an indication
<crack> OMG! NUB COMM! EJEKT

Instance 5:
<Lito> okay, Holy_Devil, you stay at that hive *set waypoint*, everyone else move into double res *clicks the select all marines button at the top and sets double res waypoint*
<Lito> gj guys gj...wtf...Holy_Devil, wtf are you doing in double?
<Holy_Devil> You set my waypoint here
<Lito> gg, phase is down at the last hive
*crack killed Lito with divinewind

Instance 6:
<Lito> I got something chewing on base res, hold on.  *sets waypoint outside Biodome, sets down phase and turret factory*, Oh and, before i get out, i need one person to get over here *sets waypoint to computer lab*
*Lito killed crack with knife
<Lito> Alright, i'm ba- wth...why isn't anything built at bio?
**Soldiers need Order
*click
<Lito> ...Why are you all at computer lab? ._.

Instance 7:
<Lito> Alright, the tf is electrifying, move out; get me res.
**a few resnodes later
<Lito> Where the heck are all my marines..
*Tab
*3/8 marines alive...none dead are reenforcing
*looks at base
<Lito> Wtf! i thought i elec'd that tf!
<Crack> rewfls, nub comm
*the command console is under attack

Instance 8:
*Crack killed self
<Lito> HAHA, WHAT A NUB
*The command console is under attack

Instance 9:
*Crack Killed Devnull with devour
*Lito killed crack with knife
*the command console is under attack

Instance 10:
*The command console is under attack
 

Alright, 8, 9 and 10 don't count, but you get the idea:  being able to create squads helps; </3 crack.

So bear with me when you see "Commander: Lito"
I'll unlazy myself to put in Jefe's configs  ( http://www.lunixmonster.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=304 )
and hopefully, i'll be able to bant crack and die happy

General / I Need A Script!
« on: January 13, 2004, 05:21:43 PM »
I've been having trouble with the comm chair lately

I'm trying to improve my commanding efficiency by using groups, however, ns isn't very custom-setting friendly.

I use the numpad as my controls (yes, a rarity isn't it, you WSAD freaks :o ), which conviniently places several keys near the usual 8-4-6-2 movement keys.

As many of you know (and for those who don't, take some notes), the key to good marine-ing or general aliening is quick weapon switching.  Holy_Devil uses the leap-bite with deadly efficiency, and i'm sure he has his own way to switch weapons. I have weapon slots 1 - 4 placed near my movement keys for quick efficient weapon switching, however it hinders the ability to make groups, and often i have to ask a fellow res slotter to get in the chair and set general groups for me.

If you can script some stuff out for me, i would appreciate it alot.

This is what i need:

bind "z" to activate "Commander mode" binds:

unbind KP_ENTER
unbind KP_PLUS
unbind KP_PGUP
unbind KP_HOME
bind "1" "slot1"
bind "2" "slot2"
bind "3" "slot3"
bind "4" "slot4"


that should fix the ability to make groups, as i've inquired on this problem before,
and the second

bind "x" to activate "Normal mode" binds:

unbind "1"
unbind "2"
unbind "3"
unbind "4"
bind "KP_ENTER" "slot1"
bind "KP_PGUP" "slot2"
bind "KP_PLUS" "slot3"
bind "KP_HOME" "slot4"

oh noes! teh sekrat config of 1337-o is out!

thanks in advance.
