This new board is really nice, but i think it sucks i had to re-register... but anywayz... i'm not really active now because im beta testing 1.4, maybe it is an idea of letting NS be beta testable through STEAM too (:?
but.. my idea came up when i was playing CS... why not create a room in a map, which is not accesible, but when the score screen appears (in cs the image just freezes, and the scoreboard comes up), the 'camera (player view)' is changed to that room, depending on which team wins and loses. If the aliens win, you see some dead marines, aliens win sprayed on the wall (mayb even in blood, but that is not the ns style), and a few aliens eating from the dead or something (also a bit too not-ns)... when the marines win the room will be more a scene of dead aliens, and a team of marines moving through it (why shouldn't everything be able to move)???... but this would be a cool feature i think, it could be supported by a func_endscreen or something, and when there is no func_endscreen it is just cs style, so mappers do not have to be able to map movement and models in their map...

anywayz... just spitting out an idea

-btw it REALLY stinks im just a newbie member with 1 post now... all my 150 posts or so are lost... <!--emo&:(--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('><!--endemo-->, but it is not a real problem-

it sounds great but then the mappers should make such a room, they should use the AI that's in halflife and give the "bots" waypoints. Then, maybe there should be 2 rooms, one for the aliens and one for the marines, dunno about that one, i'm not a mapper, but the point i'm trying to make is that it would be just something to add at the list of the mappers, it think it would just slowdown the mapmaking and one thing i didn't think off, shouldn't they make some extra entity so that it can be used?

hey i read you can mail some guy of this forum and ask to include your old posts with your current "score". Dunno which one.

Hey Viper, nice to see you back. Go ahead and email Flayra or MonsE to get your post count restored.

I kinda like the idea of showing the final hive/CC being destroyed like that though. Perhaps in that bullet time that Spirit of Half Life can do.

Hey Shu, I restored your post count, no need to get mad. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

i think it would be cool if at the end of the game, we get a warcraft 2-style end game stats chart - like # aliens killed, buildings destroyed, total resources acquired...  i think this would make NS fit the RTS theme better.

I like tommyd's idea. That would be sweet, and maybe give awards to the Marines for outstanding teamwork/heroism(?)/Kills etc. etc. etc.

Wow, now THERE'S an idea.  Of course, it would only display "enemies killed" for aliens, because the marines aren't even ranked in the scoreboard, it would defeat the purpose if they were ranked at the end.  The guiding principle behind this idea would be to allow all types of players (of all skill levels) to stand out in at least one category.  Here are some ideas:

"orders given"
"orders completed"
"lives used"
"time spent constructing"
"time with enemy in sight"
"resources gathered"
"resources spent"
"average level (alien)"
"welds sealed"
"favorite weapon"
"points earned (alien)"
"structures created"
"structures destroyed"
"shots fired"

 This sounds like a great feature, but is best suited for after v1.0 I think.

pielemuis

you mean beta 1.0 or v1.0?

Comprox

If you wanted kills, you could just have a TOTAL ALIENS KILLED so you kno how well you did as a team, not as a player.

pielemuis

uhu i agree, the marines are all about being a team they hsouldn't have personal scores, or if they had personal scores it should be more something like, assited so many people, etc.
