Ok, 2 things: First, I have made a desktop shortcut icon - do you want to put it in the next patch? It's just the gun/wings logo from the banner in the ns2 section.
Second, Can we grab the full console command list for client and server? I figured out a few myself like: r_stats 1 = show frames etc dev 1 = developer mode disconnect quit resetui - if you lose the ui it comes back, but i think you need to spawn again? points # - add points
What I really want is some how to add resources or to change species as kharaa - coz i want to play/practice lerk in an offline LAN mode
No changes with the patch...still crashs and not playable(maybe the server haven't the patches (for next release a version filter for the browser? Grey=old versions?!?)) ...always <a href="http://img3.imagebanana.com/img/qya8y6m7/yxcvy.jpg" target="_blank">got</a> the message out of memory in the logfile. Ok waiting for next patch...or maybe beta.
First, thx for release alpha, it's nice to see how the game is going :). Nice work for an alpha
But i still have some trouble to connect to server even if i tried to delete NS2 and reinstall it, and firewall is ok. i was able to play a little and i'm really suprised of the potential of the game ^_^.
And do you planed a fix for azerty keyboard ? I feel like playing my first time in DoD 1.2 beta xd
I got some positive changes from this patch. I can actually connect to a game now but it takes a LONG time for me to actually load the map etc (as you'd expect at this point).
Pretty fun to finally see another player though, even if he's artifacting :P
It seems that after a match finishes, I do not enter the ready room. The last time I was chomping on things in marine spawn, next thing I know I'm just standing there looking at a bunch of marines running around their spawn.
well every time it fails to connect to a server reason unknown or the cant connect message in console it says it cant load like all these files and i think there all the details or something... i might try medium or low cos it is set to high...
MajorFoley, if you post something more specific on the GetSatisfaction boards (click the Feedback floater on the side of the page ===>) you will assist the dev team. If you leave it so vague as "in console it says it cant load like all these files", you are basically saying there are some needles in the haystack that you have, and you are having problems with all of the needles, the haystack or both and either.
Not teasing, just advising from a programming background how useless your feedback is without specifics.
-----------------
I noticed there was a flashlight, but no shadows at the moment. If they end up anything like the ones in the Left4Dead series, it will be epic fun. But no alien vision yet. Perhaps pressing F could fire a parasite for the skulks, and have vision modes via another key instead (or vice versa). That way, there will be 3 other distinct (new) abilities for the skulk.
Personally, gameplay feedback. It's not instantly intuitive what the 3 icons at the top of the UI for marine comm are. As well, I am not sure where the resources stats are for Kharaa - I know I have to have "res" to evolve up from skulk, but not sure where to look to see if I have enough.
Also, the different abilities took me a sec to figure out what they mean. "Bite", "Leap" I was aware of from my NS1 experience, but I think newcomers may have issues unless there are tooltips or popup hints for these options.
The new patch is working well for me thank you! I got into the first server I tried to join and the game was actually playable (apart from hitboxes etc). Also got to explore all of the vents in ns_tram for the first time. It's still kinda buggy cos you have to look down and push forward to get through some openings, and for others you need to be in a really precise position. There are a couple of openings which are sealed off with a flat grey wall, one of them actually has 'wall 120 x 160' or something written on it :D
the new patch is good, still some issues with server lag, along with bots/drifters idling and not building and the hitbox problem still around. All in due time :)
btw is the shade supposed to do anything? When I click it, it does nothing..
Yay I can connect now on my multi-monitor system. Great work. Progress bar for loading would be great because I have a black screen for about 10-20 seconds after the game is connected and loaded (hard drive has stopped blinking). Please don't burn out...I don't envy the task ahead to get it all polished, but I suspect within a couple months you guys can get to a very playable game.
Overall, great first patch I can actually play the game now.. Can't run my server over 8 players right now without it being totally unplayable just more netcode improvements hitboxes rofl.. Besides that, very nice it's making great progress!

I don't know sorry. You should make a new thread because your post might not get noticed by many people in this topic.

I definitely owed you guys $40 for all the time I spent playing NS, so getting all of this is just a bonus for me. You definitely earned my money, keep up the awsome work. And don't forget important things like sleeping and eating. :)<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
they eat on their computer while working ,and sleep on their keyboard, then repeat :P
Connection to servers is easier now, good job guys!<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--> I agree, like my heart sank to the floor when I saw the patch was released.

Great stuff. Personally I'm glad you're tackling gameplay issues while Max and Kurt soldier ahead on the engine.
But i still have some trouble to connect to server even if i tried to delete NS2 and reinstall it, and firewall is ok. i was able to play a little and i'm really suprised of the potential of the game ^_^.
