Hugh · January 2014

A mighty bump to open this here comment thread!

Ghosthree3 · January 2014

This might come in handy for some modder. Ideas and such.

antd00d · January 2014

Wow!! Do the same for NS2. [grin]

amckern · January 2014

Nice to see the NS Source - want to find out how the top down view was done

Also need to get people to check Hell (For Ice), and eat Hats - I was promised a few things when the NS Source was public.

SamusDroid · January 2014

Except it doesn't have map source nor model source files. :-<
It's mostly just older builds.

Pyromaniac · January 2014

If anyone is interested in patching out some bugs I can try to compile a list. There are some bugs that were introduced from the linux update for HL a few months back and the ones that were always present but still annoying like fps dependent physics and fire rate, the shotgun reload bug, and floating weapons. Right now people that still play it need to play on a downgraded version of half life and that has his own problems.

Asraniel · January 2014

While a good move, this issue needs to be resolved, clarified:

Soul_Rider · January 2014

The maps and models are probably under copyright.

As @Asraniel mentioned and linked, the clarification of what is allowed needs to be much more precise than currently. What is copyright, what isn't, where do people stand with modding the code, etc?

Bicsum · January 2014

Didn't Charlie say that they had lost the ns1 source code? Glad you found and released it, good move.

MuckyMcFly · January 2014

So... who's making NS:Classic on the source engine?

vartija · January 2014

Juan José Alfaro
[ "Mendasp" :: Leader of the ns_bast reconstruction, co_sava ]

Now we know who took the rotating door away from ns_bast! Get your pitchforks and torches!

Mendasp · January 2014

I'm pretty sure people knew that already :<

I also released a ns_bast_classic with the door and stuff... Guess I could release all the sources for my NS1 maps, I still have them with neat compiling settings and all.

coolitic · January 2014

For a second I thought they were releasing NS2 source code.

Ghosthree3 · January 2014

That's just silly.

Soul_Rider · January 2014

They have released the NS2 source code :P Releasing the game in LUA is another way of releasing the source code...

Now if you mean teh Spark Engine, then that's another story, but then, Valve still haven't released the source code for GoldSrc Engine (Half-Life1) yet, so I don't think UWE will be in a hurry to release Spark source, they've got another 15years and counting on that front...

puzl · January 2014

Especially since the NS2 source code has always been available

Glad to see this old dog gain some new life. Hopefully someone with more time can fix up some of the issues we never got around to.

OMG what the hell is AvHNexusClient and AvHNexusServer?
<_<
>_>

_INTER_ · January 2014

@Hugh back from restful holyday? Can we expect more News in the nearer future? =P~

DC_Darkling · January 2014

aaaaah. memories

Zoc · January 2014

Wow, this brings me memories

Obraxis · January 2014

Now to scan the files for mentions of the Nexus BUS....

DarkflameQ · January 2014

Who records with Fraps anymore? lmao

Bandicam is where it's at!

Ghosthree3 · January 2014

Bandicam is good if you don't like to reencode yourself. Fraps does the best quality, the raw vid it records is insane(ly big). Shadowplay is starting to look mighty sexy though, as soon as push to talk is actually push to talk, I'll record with that.

EDIT: Wait, how did this conversation end up in this thread.

BUS? Wait, you mean that thing we were trying to do that would apply an electric shock to anyone who-
...I mean, I have no idea what you're talking about!

Hugh or who ever made the video was moaning about his lack of FPS whilst recording with fraps, you don't get that problem with Bandicam and the quality is still excellent :P

herrsheimer · January 2014

This is really a good new. Since hl1 runs natively on linux, anybody knows if i can play ns1 too?

MuckyMcFly · January 2014

if ( g_Language == LANGUAGE_GERMAN )
{
// no sticky gibs in germany right now!
return;
}

- Really? Germans don't like gore?

I think @Flayra already took care of that....

Removed really strict anti exploit detection (that was never used)

It was the first thing I started looking for too

Kouji_San · January 2014

Natural Selection GoldSrc code released, if you know what I mean :P

No?
