<div class="IPBDescription">Patchey Nonsensical Shenanigans</div> Listen, i dont know if anyone else is realising this, but i'm encountering a LOT of servers that have simply not decided to update themselves with the patch... or am i dreaming? I've been seeing a lot of <!--emo&::sentry::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/turret.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='turret.gif'><!--endemo--> without their generators in some servers i won't name *coughcough BattleQuest coughcough*

Is it possible for clients to connect to both versions of the server? Because it would seem damned easy that way for a server admin just to keep it un-updated so he can keep his resource settings and let the marines stay off balance. Or have i been hallucinating?

Anyway, im off to find another server. Just thought i'd blab my insane thoughts ~_^

    This happens in so many mods.


    Could the developers PLEASE add just one server variable (just like the mp_blahblah) stuff that is hardcoded to the current version of the mod? Every single mod needs this, and every single mod fails to provide it. It makes things a LOT easier on filters, players, etc...

    you STILL can fill rooms..not as much but quite a bit, if the marines do then their either.

    1. doing a last man stand seeing as their gonna loose
    2. aliens aren't doing their job and let them have 2 many nodes.

    I've seen servers that had "v1.01" in the server name, but were not using the latest version. I don't know why they'd do this, but it probably has to do with Marines thinking they're getting screwed.


    And I strongly agree on the "ns_version = 1.01" idea.

    i joined a server with 1.01 in the name and everything cost 2 RPs and everything built really fast, and we had 12 turrets and everyone had hmgs after about one minute of playing and then a few minutes after that a whole bunch of Ohcraps came into our base and i thought this was all so stupid and left. btw they finally patched it now after i yelled at them but their server is still unplayable. i saw it give everyone pings over 1000 sometimes. that was Khabal by the way. Khabal servers are the closest to me and usually give me around 100 ping in other games. just my luck that the servers i was counting on to give me less than 300 ping in NS happen to be so weak, that just makes me so mad <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    What I hate even more is guys who run a 24 player server with their home comp (Let's say a Windows 98, 733 P3, 128 ram) on a ADSL connex.

    Can you say 5000+ ping? I CAN!



    It played as if everyone suddenly entered the matrix.

    I do too. Even servers with 1.01 in the name aren't updated.
