"marines win" when aliens kill the last cc, "aliens win" when marines kill the last hive. This has happened at least 10 times for me, only on servers with ns2+. First thing that came into my mind was this:
@remi.D I just played a round that marines lost but it was reported as a draw. Couldn't see anything about it in the log. Can post it later if you want.
If its related easy solution would be to remove this "draw games is a thing"
I have never seen a game end up with draw in over 2000h of gameplay.

@zenef If you see this again and get me a server log it would be immensely helpful. It's likely a conflict with another mod, but if it's something wrong with the code I really need to know.

@zenef I found one logic flaw where it would attribute auto-concedes (team unbalance) to the wrong team. Potentially this is what you saw. Please post if you see this again after the next NS2+ update.
@Mendasp@remi.D Not sure if it's NS2+ causing this or if it's something else but I got complaints from players on my compmod server that they were moved to the readyroom as soon as a round was about to start. Compmod server log
I was also able to reproduce the error on the Combat server with the round ending after a player is killed. In the log it says we commited suicide but we were killed by a player on the opposite team. Combat server log.

Fun script error right before it. Not sure if that could have caused the issue but I'm fixing it for 267. Game ended because both teams had no players. Not sure what caused that.

Thanks in advance guys!

My bet is Combat replaced that function and NS2Plus is overwriting the replacement... I shall investigate.

Yup, first bug should be fixed (incorrect win attribution on games ending due to team imbalance)
Second bug (combat mod incompatibility) is fixed on the NS2+ side but won't be compatible until the Combat guys do a fix on their end.

Thanks! Too bad about the second bug though. I'm guessing the combat team is too focused on the stand-alone to update the mod.

Is it possible to have mines have a hit sound? Would love their own custom hitsound, but its handy to hear a hit when your mine kills something across the map.

I made a little mod that extends the max decal lifetime to 1 hour, so you can get a much more battle scared appearance to the map over time. Tested for an hour with 12v12 bot match and performance hit is negligible. Unfortunately, you can't really use it anywhere due to most servers running consistency checking. Would love to see an option for it in NS2+. It is a single "kDecalMaxLifetime = 3600" value in Globals.lua. It's a purely cosmetic mod, and doesn't alter gameplay in any way.

@aeroripper
What needs to be changed in the consistency check?
The lua file (Global.lua) he has modded. But be aware that bad modders ( not looking at anyone ) could use that security lack And its a pretty large one.
By the way @aeroripper why don't you open a pull request at github ?
Basically by pull request you can present changes you did for your repo fork to the original repo owner and ask them to look at your changes with the request to merge them into their repo fork (with one click).
Overall thats the power of git in generall. Everyone can modify and fork a repo then work on his own changes in his own fork and branch and then let the original owner merge all those changes in with one click into the original fork.
That would save both of you (mendasp and yourself) alot of time for now and the future.
In this case you just need to find a ns2+ file were you the variable change fits into.
Maybe add a option in the ns2+ options to define the maxtime of decals. That would be the best way to include it.
- Added Lerk Bite icon.
- Enabled hitsounds for Grenade Launcher.
- Made unsocketed/blueprint Power Nodes show up properly in the minimap.
- Added option to choose the color of the minimap arrow representing your position. Available in HUD tab.
- Alien Commanders can now see the energy of the players.
- Added high contrast colors for armor in Insight.
- Added max decal lifetime option. You can set how long decals last (still affected by the vanilla setting). Available in Visual tab.
Edit: There was a problem with the patch and I've had to roll back. I'll update as soon as I figure out what's wrong.
Edit2: Figured out the problem. Republished!

Great work! Looking forward to trying changes out when it updates.

Changes are great. The only feedback I have is changing the gray color of the alien energy bar (from the khamms view) to the same shade of yellow it appears in insight (spectate).
- Made unsocketed/blueprint Power Nodes show up properly in the minimap.
This is great, but im confusing blue things on the minimap with dropped structures. It would be great if unsocketed nodes were grey rather than blue and only turned blue if they are blueprinted.
Maybe this is just me being a picky bitch though ^^

Bug report: if you're in spectate mode and you go from overhead commander view back to battlefield view, atmospherics get reset. You have to go back into the menu and nudge the slider to get it to "fix".
When loading the map i'm working on with NS2+ active map will not load. Without NS2+ mod it loads just fine. This is when I am starting my own server on my comp.
Hope you can fix this.

Here is someone using it in tf2 for reference,
This would make the immersion levels go off the charts. I don't think NS2 can handle this.

Oh yes. I would love this a lot. Please Mendasp!

I'm familiar with github itself but not a pull request? What's that do?
