    Actually, yes there are hi res shots, however we don't post them here because of screen cluttering, and filesize. Most of the shots you see are taken in a HIGH resolution, changed to 800x600, which makes it lose drastic detail, sadly.

    Welcome to the forums.

    Most of the screenshots are taken in lower resolutions, you are correct. However, Half-Life (and thus NS) can go quite a bit higher. Take a look. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    (Edit: Ignore Cyanide. Those shots look like they were 'taken' in 800x600 to me. Sometimes the Gamma correction in image programs and certainly the compression mess with the image, but thats not due to resizing. Sorry Cy)

    Is that 1024x768? (My resolution of choice)

    btw, flay and co ™ a fix for the jetpack always being on is eazy to fix!


    just set cl_himodels to 0 not 1 (im 80% thats the right command) high models off, this is a bug in hl and happens with EVERY mod. cs, existence, etc.

    what happens is that it draws all the extra goodies on also, so in cs it'd be the bomb or defusers!


    glad 2 help!

    o yeah, thx Fam, that hits me in the right spot

    yeah i though those were taken at 800x600, you can tell by how the name of the commanders gets cut off

    btw, my res of choice is 1600x1200, heh

         ^^^ LOL!
    I can see it all coming together now.  The changes are amazing!!  Just curious how long are you going to PT on rc8 until you come out with the next version?  Thanx for keeping us updated  <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

    NS is supposed to support really low-res' but how can it if the hud clutters up the screen so much as to make it unplayable? (Im not saying the screenshots are too cluttered, thats bearable for me, but the res goes alot lower so itll be worse). Id hate to see someone try and command in really low res.

    Greedo: Dont suppose you can tell us what is lame? <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    Does the board in the reception area show anything useful (ala some of UT's boards). Itd be nice if it said something like "Large Unidentified Object in 'blah blah blah'" when a Hive goes up.

    UT makes mapscripting in HL look easy. Unfortunatly that's near impossible in HL. The screen is a pre-created animated texture.

    Thanks for the tip Necro, that was the problem.  I've been wondering about that forever, I thought Def was doing something wrong. :)

    The commander name gets cut off on all resolutions, thats the a HUD problem, not the resolution, the HUD stretches to the resolution.  If you really need to figure out who the commander is, hit tab.

    Also, the rest of the hud fits and is scaled fine, its just the commander part thats a bit messed.  NS looks awesome in all resolutions.

    Just to put some fears to rest, I've run commander mode at 640x480, and it's fine.  The HUD elements scale very nicely.

    The screenshot Fam posted on page 4 was taken at a higher resolution than 1024x768, but I can't tell what it was exactly.  I run at 1024x768 routinely, and nothing of the HUD gets in the way of gameplay.

    640x480 is the res I run in.  But HL does allow for far lower resolution.

    yikes, bad video card or do you like the up closeness? I could never run in anything lower then 800x600. <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->

    I enjoy these shots, and the fact that Necro just fixed a problem.

    Wow, 792 views in 6 hours. Yikes.

    Didn't know what the heck that jetpack was at first, but now I see.  Cooool. <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

    Great pics all around.  Thanks Flayra, you da man!

    Edit: Speaking of Gorge, that mouth is nasty.  

    Death awaits you all, with nasty big pointy teeth!

    About the skin being chosen randomly, I thought I saw someone talk about a command to choose the color of your skin somewhere. Or did I just dream it all?
  • D_6969D_6969 Join Date: 2002-09-07 Member: 1298Members
    Well different skins are cool but what if I don't want to be black? Not that I'm racist or anything, I just like to be me. There was a mod Called Conflict in Nam that came out and it gives a choice of skin color that was kind of a cool extra. But that's just my take on the skin thing.

    easy fix: if you have low res, turn it up higher, or dont be the commander
  • SurgeSurge asda4a3sklflkgh Join Date: 2002-07-14 Member: 944Members
    Firearms also let you choose amongst like, 5 phenotypes, camo, african american, caucasian, asian, and something else I think. Pretty cool.

    I believe it was something like cl_setskin 0 and 1 or something...

  • SuperMunchkinSuperMunchkin Join Date: 2002-09-28 Member: 1364Members
    I don't see how what skin color you randomly get affects anyone.  Truth, it doesn't affect gameplay so who cares what the end up with?

    Ahhh, thanks Flayra for another set of spiffy-ness.  Looking forward to NS as much as ever.

    I have a voodoo 3 3000, 128 ram, celeron 633.  The v3 is PCI because I have no agp slots, but I do use wickedgl drivers.

    640*480 works the best for it.  Plz don't tell me to upgrade <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo--> because I don't feel like it.
