Interesting Server

I found a server today:

SpurtysPub Natural Selection v1.01 (205.159.169.141:27040)

That was pretty laggy (felt like pre-patch) but despite this had some innovative server-side tweaking.. when something became damaged -75 would float above it in red (for a skulk bite).. it was like the +50 that appears when a marine picks up health, but in reverse. I dont think it was official because it wrecked the balance a little bit (lerks couldnt spike a building to death silently) but it was nice to be able to see the damage being done.. maybe something similar to this, but that only the aliens could see, could be added in a further patch?

    Scent of Fear lets you see any damaged marines, but I dunno about buildings. Maybe if it only shows up when your crosshairs are over it?

    its actually an available toggle in server setup. Draw Damage or something like that, any server can set up to happen. I think its interesting to have on and see how grenades and bile bombs and xenocides actually affect buildings.... there is definitely some inconsistency in this area <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
