    I like the jetpack's look, very cool. Best screenshot ever: One marine cornered by the lv. 1,4 and 5 with a 3 overhead. <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

    Excellent display of progress!  I haven't checked out any of the playtest shots in a while and it's obvious that everything is coming together.

    One thing to note - I noticed a minor typo in the HUD description of the Armory.  The line "It can also be upgrade to an advanced armory" of course should read "It can also be upgraded to an advanced armory".  A minor typo but I thought I'd point it out.

    Well done and keep up the good work!

    on the (some) of the alien pics u see throught there mouths does this mean they have eyes inside there mouths?

    I believe that they pretty much just decided it looks cool, plus it may add some minor balance. If I recall they did it for the sake of atmosphere and not for the sake of realism. But hey I'm not a playtester so what do I know?

    Is that Flier resting against the wall in this pic?

    <b>If not</b> It would be l33t to allow level3 to hang on to some spot in the ceiling or in the wall then dive with great strength at it's prey tearing it to pieces.

    <a href="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/uploads/post-12-09698-ns_hera0012.jpg" target="_blank">Here</a> and <a href="http://www.planethalflife.com/images/screens/ns_aug2.jpg" target="_blank">here</a> the lvl 5 looks a bit strange. Why is it a bit above the ground? And why in the second "here" half of the lvl 5 is in the wall? Also again in the second pic, is that a jet pack on the bak of the Marine's back. If it is, I was wondering if you guys realesed a skinned full pic of it.

    1. Because he is floating.

    2. Because his oversized hull makes him clip a bit.

    Can you be a bit more specific with one? As in why is he is floating? Also in the first "here", which side of the lvl 3 is up?

    Lvl three's still place holder, they're finishing up the animations for the actual model.
  • coilcoil Amateur pirate. Professional monkey. All pance. Join Date: 2002-04-12 Member: 424Members, NS1 Playtester, Contributor
    Re: level5 - his animations aren't done yet; therefore, he occasionally looks quite odd.  He's also not quite the same size as his clipping hull, which means sometimes he clips walls.

    Re: jetpack - yes, that's the jetpack model.  No, they didn't release a solo pic of it.  Yes, it's sweet.

    Re: level3 - what Sgt. X said.
  • LongtoothLongtooth Join Date: 2002-07-02 Member: 863Members
    I think it would be cool if the level3 could hang onto walls or maybe even climb them,  albeit at a slow rate,  Perhaps thats something for version 2 it would only require a tiny bit of remodeling by adding a claw to the end of the part of the wing he walks on and the climbing would seem perfectly natural, punch the claw into the wall and swing the other up and punch it in, rinse and repeat,  it would be a way for level3's to get the drop on the marines and also save some flying energy.  Or give them a place to rest.

    Jetpacks?!  I haven't heard anything about jetpacks!  Is there a webpage that has a list of all NS's features or some kind of preliminary manual?

    Keep the screens coming...no wait!  Work on the game!
  • f3rretf3rret Join Date: 2002-05-29 Member: 686Members
    The webpage is the forums. It's really not all that organized, but all the information IS in here. There are no specifics (that I have found) on www.readyroom.org or the NS main page.

    The thing you have to do is search the forums, and read the faqs. If that doesn't answer your question, then ask in the forums.

    60% of the replies will be: "Read the FAQs"  *
    25% of the replies will be: "When it's done" **
    10% of the replies will be so off topic you'll want some of whatever it is they are smoking.
    5% of the replies will contain the information that you are looking for.

    * (even if you specify in your post that you read them)
    **(even if your question has nothing to do with release)

    And, everyone who knows what they are talking about will tell you that whatever they said is Subject To Change.

    I've been wanting to ask this for a while now. In the 8th pic in this thread, you are looking through the jaws of an alien. Which level is that? I have seen an alien in the avatars that isn't one of the 5 levels. It has no eyes, has teeth like the one I'm asking about, has 4 legs, and has a round, bowl-like head. Is this the alien in the screenshot? Or is the alien I'm asking about a level 3?

    I think he may be talking about a builder, the level 2. But I could be wrong. It does have eyes though.

    <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/uploads/cgc-ns-ipt2-6.jpg" border="0"> Is this what he is talking about? I dunno, is it a lvl 4? or a placeholder or what? I'm probably just blind...
  • ScytheScythe Join Date: 2002-01-25 Member: 46NS1 Playtester, Forum Moderators, Constellation, Reinforced - Silver
    That was/is the level 4 placeholder. It is from HL I believe, it just never made it into the final release (of HL).

    Uhh Horrid from the looks of that 4 some odd reason it seems to be a creature from the Warhammer 40k game called the Genestealer, I dont know it might just be me.
  • horror_kidhorror_kid Join Date: 2002-06-14 Member: 765Members
    Sorta figured as much (that it was a place holder). But, I didn't know if that was what he was talking about.
  • coilcoil Amateur pirate. Professional monkey. All pance. Join Date: 2002-04-12 Member: 424Members, NS1 Playtester, Contributor
    That is, in fact, a Genestealer.  It was the placeholder art for the Level4.

    Reborn, do you mean this avatar? <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/avatars/avatar6.gif" border="0">

    That's just and old piece of concept art that Cory made.  It isn't specifically any of the current alien levels.
