Whit al do respect NS team , dumb-job.
Some servers? Seems like all of the 1.03 servers want to screw us customizers over <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
Hmmm . . . I'd written this whole little thing up on your fantastic quote, but I've decided to ditch it and just take you with an enormous grain of salt. Yeah, that's probably for the best.
i dont think it will be long before totally orginal creations are being made for ns too. ive seen some excellent concepts already for replacement aliens and marines, and im probably not the only modeller to do so. i know you feel the ns back story has been somewhat coopted with these types of models being made, but i dont think anybody is fooling themselves if they think there playing avp2, that simply isnt the case at all i think. people just want cool (different) content than the original creations. eventually even the custom models will become tiresome and people may even revert back to the original creations because once again they will become "fresh".
Well, I pulled it because I didn't want it to be taken incorrectly by the NS modeling community-- there seems to be a fair number of people in it who think that the dev team simply wants to silence them. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
Anyhow, here's the post:
Model consistency is a server setting, like any other mod. Off by <b>default</b>, because of how much complaining went on, I'd guess. If it's off on a server, that means that the admin running it <i>explicitly</i> doesn't want it.
So, Duo, let's see--
On the one hand, we have you-- who cried that he would completely stop playing NS if he couldn't play with his ripped pulse rifle. Oh yeah, you're a keeper, all right. We should definitely bend over backwards for you.
Now, on the other hand, we have server admins, who dedicate time, energy, and their own personal resources towards growing NS. We also have the leagues, who need some sort of model enforcement in place in order to take us seriously. But, as Duo seems to think, we should definitely not allow these guys any sort of choice in the matter. He needs his pulse rifle, after all!
Dumb-job? Hardly. Run your own Damn server, if it's that much of a problem. Or, better yet-- just go play AVP or AVP 2.
Now, custom modelers-- I have no argument or problem with you guys. I <b>want</b> to see people getting so excited over this game that they design, experiment, and try to put their own spin on the NS TSA tech and kharaa lifeforms. People like Wattz (currently designing his own <b>TSA</b> weapons) are what will truly allow this forum to flourish.
I'm sorry, but so much energy was put into creating the NS universe backstory that it's somewhat disappointing to see it immediately co-opted and reduced to a vehicle for the Aliens characters and weapons. But you <i>then</i> have the balls to chastise the team for not <b>completely</b> enabling your conversions, even though that might come at the cost of the game's league and server livelihood? Get a **obscenity** clue.
End post.
Flame away, but I hope some people see my point.
However, in the end, I realized that his stupid post didn't really merit this much of a response. As I said in my edit, all it needed was a huge grain of salt.
It was just frustrating that after things were set up the way the modeling community requested (with the default for consistency being off), we still get posts that tell us we're 'dumb'.
All across the forums, it seems that we're in sort of a "Damned if we do, Damned if we don't" rut.
In any circumstance I don't and wont think of you as stupid or "dumb"... I will play your mod maybe not as happy or on my favorite server but I will play
