Making the engine test more playable

Jibrail

this mod is turning out real good with new stuff added in daily, only thing we need to play it nicely is some engine optimazation to run smoother.

remi

Mappers using our ns2lua mod will now be able to see resource and tech points!

And now doors are functional as well.

I downloaded the newest ns2lua package and have some problems with it.

1) If you change your class to skulk and enter third person mode, you have 2 skulk models, one static and one dynamic
1.1) The Skulk model is missing the thirdperson bite/attack animation.

2) The muzzle flash from the machine gun is missing.

3) Sprinting both as skulk and marine is "laggy".

I only have those problems with the newest source( 47a8d57 ). It worked flawlessly with source version 6b287a2, which surely misses some of the features, but has no bugs.

Besides that I have to say, that the modders are doing a very great progress in expanding the engine test :)

Greetings,

Thanks for your reports. I have noticed the sprinting is pretty borked. We've been doing a lot of major changes which unfortunately tends to introduce new bugs.

Flashlights in this game look awesome.

Fully networked too, not like the HL1 versions.

Jibrail

just downloaded it but cant open flash light how?

Nossah

does the current version work with a mod folder again? or is it still broken?

It works as long as you put everything(lua or not) in an "ns2lua" folder alongside the ns2 folder.

Slycaster

You guys are incredible.

Jibrail

I replaced it with old files, is that wrong?
if so can we show us how to do it right?

And most other games with sprint and flash...

I just fell through the tech point in my map, I'm guessing the model itself doesn't have physics?

Correct. I don't know how to make that work yet. The doors are able to be walked through too.

Blasphemy

So I downloaded both branches and extracted them to my NS2 folder, I join the marine team, but I can't figure out what key the flashlight is (not F). Is there some console command you have to type in?

Also, when I tried to join a server through the server browser, the game would stop running.

Jibrail

^^This happens to me too, any help?

remi

Press shift+z for flashlight (or your respective sprint+taunt keys)

Insane

Wow, great work guys.

This definitely feels like it should be in the modding section, so I'm going to punt it over.
