<div class="IPBDescription">The Old Days of playing NS is Back.</div> Hello everyone On|E is now hosting 1.04 version of NS.
And I just like to post the news if anyone here is interested in playing 1.04 again or if you’re new to 1.04 then feel free to drop in.


Reason for hosting 1.04 to be honest I and the rest of the On|E community have become sick of playing 3.04. Because the game play has changed into more of a FPS then what it was relay intended to be.
First person shooter/Real time strategy.

Now it’s just another FPS that has been plagued by the type of players like <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif' /><!--endemo--> Counter Strike.
I won’t get into why I dislike this type of players but I have been playing NS for over 3 years since 1.03 and I miss this type of game play.
Real team work and real strategy. <!--emo&::marine::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/marine.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='marine.gif' /><!--endemo--> That’s what made me play NS because of the combine nature of FPS/RTS.

We still as always will host 3.04 and still play it. But it’s refreshing to play 1.04 to really get a feel on how a real game played.
Come by if you like you are more than welcome to join us. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Can someone please explain this line of reasoning to me? I really don't get it. In 1.04, the winning marine strategy was always to tech rush to JP/HMGs and send the team into a hive guns a'blazing, and only one person out of the entire alien team ever had to even think about the game's RTS elements(and not very hard at that, with the more or less set-in-stone build orders that came into acceptance). How was that less of an FPS than 3.04 is now? The marines are more reliant on actual strategy now than they ever were back then, and now at least a handful of aliens have to spend their res on structures for the team to be successful.

    Everyone just remembers 1.04 as being so great because the game was still new and fresh, but when going back to play it, you know why things had to change. It is so bugged and screwed up that it isnt worth playing.

    When you put 1.04 and 3.0.4 next to each other, 3.0.4 wins by miles. But it's still nice to remember those days of yore.

    Yesh, hope you have admins on to enforce some rules to actually make it fun. And enough players.
  • airyKairyK Join Date: 2002-12-19 Member: 11126Members
    Make a 2.01 server instead, it would be alot more fun than the 1.04 server. btw your 1.04 server makes your 3.04 pub server lag horribly - 20 server fps? eck.

    This reminds me of those people who loved RSC over RS2.
    The fact was,RSC was crap and RS2 was an improved version to a person like me who had discovered RS2 first. But vice-versa to other people.

    If the old-school 1.01'ers wanna revisit the past,by all means they should,but they shouldn't mock the current NS cos it is what many people are used to. And if the old NS was better,then why would the dev team expand on it?

    I will come on later and check out old school NS,as long as it don't mess up my current version; I hope it's good,cos I do miss old-school cloaking and wouldn't mind a brief game as a skulk. (before NS 3.0,the beta before that)

    An amazing thing I've noticed on the 1.04 server. We have yet to encounter players with bad attitudes. Everyone who has played is there for the nostalgia as I am.

    Of course we know 1.04 will never happen again, but it's nice to relive the memories. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    AS for the server lagging? Check your cpu or settings, we are hosting with servermatrix, dual processors, 100mb uplink, and have no problems with lag ourselves.

    PS. We are uploading custom maps as well such as cydonia, misslecommand, and more.

    Thanks, and all are welcome!

    Fine for fun, but last time I tried playing the older version there was a ton of whining from seldom more than 8 players.

    yay people get to enjoy the single jp/hmg soloing hives. The ridiculous lmg rushes that would win the marine game instantly if played right. Yeah, way to go balance. Whats wrong with you people.

    yes, is unbalanced but the "funny" factor in 1.04 are bigger than now.

    -Good Things

    jets near be infinite
    Welders kill
    Old maps
    Babblers
    Webs more effectives and at 2 hive
    Acid rocket powerfull
    No building radious
    Stacking mines
    better Umbra
    Spikes
    Perma gorge
    No need phase tech for Pgs
    Aliens can use pgs
    Turrets get damage upgrades
    Ocs do a lot of damage


    -Bad Things

    jets and hmgs tooooo powerfull
    Fade blink get stuck every time that you use it
    No onos without 3 hive
    Lerk fly useless in small romms or halls
    Hard to place the second rt in Hera double res
    Upgrades cost to much
    loong time to get upgrades
    Chambers to expensive
    All games must be Dc-Mc-Sc
    Ocs splits are very slow, and you can pass a corridor with 5 ocs and survive
    Sens chamber useless because no focus, and cloack only works in aliens and make noise, and you cant move while are cloaked.


    Conclusion: The game is Unbalanced, but the long games are funny (not all) and if you miss babblers and this old stuff you must download it and play.


    Pd: i play with Vermillion and yes, was funny; but will be good that the server turn off some plug in if host the 1.04 how the Manual siege(one siege hit and fade dead) and the health armory, and turn on the stuck plug in. If it was On dont work for me any time.

    its not my settings 8 ), 1.04 server tends to use up considerable resources, and very high choke is a problem with your server performance. Also steam hlds is not multithreaded so it cannot take advantage of a dual cpu machine. As for missle command.. i would really like to play that lol.

    Getting an error whenever I try to load NS 104.

    Could not load library cl_dlls\client.dll
  • VermillionVermillion Join Date: 2005-01-07 Member: 33615Members
    i had that same error.
    Heres what you do.

    rename your hl folder. make a new one called half-life, and instal ns 3.0, then 1.04. run the switch bat and u shoudl be good
    and remember do this while steam is closed.
