Of Course I'm New

Tourist

Questions:

1. The manual says tripmines have lasers. I can't see any, I've tried pasting them on floors, ceilings and walls, no laser. Is it proximity or something?

2. I hear talk of handgrenades. Is it only for 3.0 beta? If so, does anyone know of a plugin that can add it to 2.x?

3. My own server has a 10-shot shotgun with 50 shells in reserve, but when I play on other servers it has 8-shots and 40 reserve. What gives?

4. The comm chair doesn't seem to have a recycle button. Is this normal? I have problems with it coz I can't get rid of comm chairs I accidentally place.

5. How can a marine get rid of an annoying tripmine that is preventing the comm from dropping medpaks or buildings because there are too many structures nearby?

Lasers were taken out.
Yes only for Beta 3, i dont think a plugin for that is possible.
You need to install the server side patch.
On 2.x you cant recycle CommChairs, on Beta 3 you can.
You can lure an alien into it, or if FF is on, use the gl.

Recycling CCs was removed as it was being exploited by lamers. I don't really need to elaborate on that. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I still think it is no big deal. Just learn the hotkeys properly. It is in the bottom right anyway, so you should not hit it accidentally. Even if you do, it has loads of starting HP, so it may even survive and save the game later on.
