<div class="IPBDescription">How far you got...</div>the reason there is small levels and no weapons and no buildnings or anything in nstr2, is it because you havent gotten farther with the game or is it because its not supposed to be fun and only for mappers...?

    Hi Banan. The NSTR2 is specifically desinged for mappers. To see some actual progress shots, with views of ingame action like weapons, Marine models, commander mode, etc, go

    <a href="http://www.readyroom.org/ingame.html" target="_blank">here</a>

    These are all shots from December, so you can imagine there's been quite a bit of progress since then...

    UPDATE: Almost forgot: there is also The Readyroom's exclusive

    <a href="http://www.readyroom.org/downloads/ns_ingame_ss.zip" target="_blank">In-game Screensaver</a>

    Actually, in the FAQ it says:

    <!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td><b>Quote</b> </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE"><!--QuoteEBegin--><b>When do we get to play?</b>
    Natural Selection is in the playtesting stage right now, it will probably be out in March or April of 2002. Give us time to polish up everything, you'll be glad we did.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    Knowing my luck it will be released right in the middle of my A-levels, and ill be forced to throw away all hope of going to a good University just for the pleasure of running around on a ceiling in the Half-Life engine. And ive already promised everyone that I wont play TFC 24-7, like I did with my GCSE's. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    And to top it all, it will more than likely be released at that european-friendly 2am. Looks like itll be a gap year working in Burger King for me.  <!--emo&???--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'><!--endemo-->

    the nstr2 is fun to play over the net, altho the levels are EXTREMELY small

    Well, I asked 'em to change it 'cause everyone knew it wasn't coming out in February, but we were getting newbies in here asking 'When is it coming out?!?!!?@#!$!$@#' and that was getting a tad tiresome to explain.

    I kinda wish they hadn't put a date on it though. I was thinking more 'when it's done' than 'March or April'.

    Not fun?  There's a walking Bob and I bet it's fun for the mappers.  And that reminds me, I got to try mapping sometime.  First job the Box!

    I heard u can walk on walls in this game? i mean the aliens, its like when climbing ladders on walls, this true?

  • ChromeAngelChromeAngel Join Date: 2002-01-24 Member: 14Members, NS1 Playtester, Contributor
    Yes I believe 2 of the 5 alien classes will be able to wall climb.  Not just walls, but ceilings too.  The alien class in thwe latest tech release can wall climb.

  • MoleculorMoleculor Namer-of-Bob Join Date: 2002-01-24 Member: 9Members
    Just one of the aliens can walk on walls. There is another that can bounce off of walls, and one that might be able to hang from ceilings, but only one can walk on walls and ceilings.

    if you change your team to alien (or are in a map that allows you to join the alien team by use of a RR type thing) you show up as the "placeholder" Bob model (which is something out of Opposing Force) and can use the CTRL key to latch on to and climb any wall steeper than 45 degrees.

    I can't remember off the top of my head what the console command to change teams is (or if there even IS a command). You really don't need a very detailed map to set it up to join a specific team. All you'd need is a box containing all the right entities (info_player_start, mapinfo, info_teamjoin, info_team_start, etc etc), and then you could be alien and climb around on the six walls (five walls and a floor) of your box to your heart's content. <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->
