"consistency 1" I Hate It!

Go7

I feel like the fact that the NS team put in the "consistency 1" modifier spooked all the server admins into putting it in. More than half the servers I used to play on use the feature, leaving me out in the cold since I use custom models and sounds.

This is an odd occurence, I think, in an FPS game where individual actions have the least amount of effect on the overall game EVER SEEN IN AN FPS GAME!

Ugh! Just ugh.

Maybe server admins enjoy knowing that no one has an unfair advantage on their server because of different models or sounds. Maybe server admins can run their servers however they wish.

I have never changed my models, but I still can't join any server that enforces model consistency *shrug*

boobs!

i dont have it running on my server only because i am vain and like seeing my soldiers looking like the guy from Halo and using his weapon...weeee i am Master Chief <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

and yes there are a lot of servers that do run it and well, i think that is perfectly fine...especially when leagues start getting going

There are servers that don't enforce this, just look around a bit if you would like to play with custom models.

If you have any model consistency problems, just download the 1.03 server patch. Yes, the server patch <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> Unzip into your NS folder and all should be well.

Make a filter in ASE or gamespy 3d that looks for mp_consistency 1 and filters *out* those servers.
Out of 478 servers, 332 are running with consistency turned OFF, so you shouldnt have trouble finding a place to play.

I like playing with the red marines i had ;( Looks much better than green. But the only good local servers force consistancy.

Thanks, comprox. I was wondering why I hadn't changed anything with NS and yet I still got "server is enforcing file consistency" messages <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

I use the official high resolution models made by Valve for original Half-life content and I can't play on consistency enforced servers. =(

Perhaps it could be possible to create some form of list with files that are OK? So instead of NS checking so you have the precise same files as the server, it computes a checksum of your files and compare that to a list of "OK" files? Dunno if possible/feasible, just an idea..

This is why you....

A) use a filter in your server browser to filter out such servers(assuming of course you use a outside server browser).

B) you create a separate default install of NS so if you are gonna play on a model consistency server you just use the default NS instead of the customised NS.

i love that feature.. u can see a giant white skulk up in a corner much easier than the original model...
