    yeh you couldn't turn them off - just shoot them and they went out.

    was kinda cool effect.

    My understanding for why it's not in 3.0 has to do with performance reasons, they looked cool but took up too many entities or something..

    I personally liked the lights that could be shot / parad out


    it's shame they weren't put back in, but I'm simply happy to have bast back

    never noticed the light thing.

    I do however still feel the pain of the removed RT near feed. You know,the one down the ladder.

    I mean, if you could take feed you had 4 RTs in reach, dres counted. That was so great.

    Sidenote, feed was hell to take. Its ground made it near impossible to build anything.

    Hated it, and if removing them saved four entities; good riddance.

    Personally, i didn't like this effect. Sure, it added a little bit of detail and interactivity that most maps lack, but without those lights it became a pain in the arse to see in marine start.

    Now i know what you're thinking, that's a good thing, for the aliens, but every damn game it'd be a marine that shot them out right at the start. Good riddance, i say. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    The bast we all remeber from 2.01 was WAY over the current mapping entity limit (which a map must currently comply to in order to reach offical status). It was kept mostly because it was the original NS map and it would be a travisty to abandon it.

    The current bast as made by the remake team of mapping forum regulars not only was built from the ground up with a decompiled bsp (as the original sourse was lost in a powersurge or something), but it also complies with the entity limit, and has fixed a pleathera of errors in the old map, incuding tonnes of onos stuck spots. GJ remake team, dispite the loss of the switchable light.

    and that ooo so important RT which made feed relock worser then it was. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    but indeed. overall looks fine.
    Hey, I always wondered...

    in bast from engine to MS by the airlock.. on engine side there was a button aboe the airlock. Could be switched by, for example, spit. ANYONE ever found out what it did? new bast does not have it. (working that is)

    each lamb needed one (or 2?) entities to have the ability to be toggled of by damaging it.
    thats why its (and a lot of particle lights and doors) are no more.

    I guess we can consider this question answered.
