What I want to know now is:
Are there any -official- plans of including Spirit of Half-Life in Natural Selection?

If this was aked before, please just post a link to the topic, thanks in advance!

    I don't think I've ever seen a mention of SoHL being planned for use in NS, but I agree that it would be able to add alot of great new possibilities for enhancing the atmosphere of the maps.

    Spirit of Half-life is a project that extends Half-life features for mappers.  It adds a lot of new functionality, especially for creating immersive single-player levels, ala Half-life.  I've talked with Autolycus about this (who demoed SOHL at the 3rd annual mode expo, where NS was also being demoed) and I think it's a good idea.  It's quite a bit of work on my end, so I'm not sure it would be worth it though.  Definitely not before v1.0, but it's a possibility in the future.

    We also talked about the possibility of adding some of NS' code into SOHL, like the particle systems.  That could happen as well, but not in the immediate future.

    Just like how every Max Payne mod has the Kung-Fu mod build in, every HL mod will have SoHL ^_^

    One Spirit feature I'd love to see in NS is the improved switchable lighting. The mapper can change named point lights between different styles - one moment they can be off, the next flickering randomly, then pulsing, then unchanging...

    Another handy thing is that things can be switched specifically on or off with <b>+targetname</b> and <b>-targetname</b>, so no fiddling around with trigger_relays.

    Oh, then there's MoveWith. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    I'd love to see that waypointed teleport thingy, with the smooth alterations between parts of a map and whatnot. Should make for some -really- interesting RR stuff. And quite possibly some nice opening 20 second stuff too.
