pls fix! I joined one and to my surprise a lot of settings re-enabled, checked the browser and it didn't support ns2+
Mendasp slaves hard to feed the children of the internet world, repay him the respect he deserves and change the official servers to support his work!
(but really, I like to hop on the official EU servers sometimes and command while the rookies play)

good to hear, tons of the options in there are beyond useful
(and alien vision forbidden)
We addressed that this patch. That shouldn't be the case anymore.
Once you've joined the random server your friends are playing on, it's very difficult to say to everyone: right guys we need to move to another server now, let's go.
And if you leave the server to go and install the separate mod (seriously, why would I do this when it's in NS2+, which as we know is allowed for comp play too so is the first go-to place for any modification), then you'll lose your slot there and not get back in.
So yes, you could say 'be prepared' - but the vast majority of my time is spent on NS2+ servers, just when I follow someone into a game and it's not NS2+, these ugly problems rear their despicable heads.
And for the last time on this subject: default alien vision is really a horrible, ugly, useless mess. Huze's Minimal AV is so much cleaner looking aesthetically, as well as actually being useful in the dark, unlike the horrendous normal AV.
Enough on that, it's been beaten to well beyond death already. I see on Trello that the default AV is one of CDT's long term goals to address, hopefully you will do so with a good dollop of common sense
I'm also too bad when I attempt to play on a server without NS2+ but yeah, just join another server.
This AV and all NS2+ relative stuff were not here before & people kept playing anyway. It is not a torture to skip a few rounds without this mod even if I admit it's a bit disturbing.
It's totally understandable for me. (but all hail NS2+!
I guess I don't understand why you (or anyone) don't already have Huze 's mod installed if it's that important to you /them??
Activate it once from the workshop - now EVERYWHERE you go from then on you can play with it.. Forever.. Ns2+ or not.
P. S. You can even do this while in game, and I'm pretty sure it would take effect on map change.. needs a restart
But loads of servers have issues with those....
Come to think of it, I think they work on official servers still but been a while since ive seen a official server used.
Don't forget about ambient noise :P
In game? There's no menu item for mods in game when I look. Is this some hidden mechanic, @Ironhorse? It's definitely not in the menu!
And yes, if I were prepared, then it wouldn't have been a problem (and now of course I have the AV mod on), but the default one is SOOOO bad frankly I'm ashamed for the newbies who don't know there's far less ugly and far more functional options out there. Oh yeah, and when you blink there's weird screen effects which are truly horrible, and taking damage makes you unable to see anything. Ugh. Mendasp for President!
It requires relaunching NS2.. but you can subscribe to any workshop mod in the steam overlay while in game.
But do that once, and bam...
But yea.. i get it what you mean
Promoting a map is somewhat ok when it comes out, but now it's a little irrelevant.
Map cycle would be better instead of being forced to vote for changing the map.
My 2 cents.
And it doesn't work on all servers. I don't get why they have such a strong stance for not changing the hideous default AV.
Probably dont want to hurt someone's feelings
I noticed that as well. So that's just pointless, just add NS2+ everywhere!
99% of ns2+ is must have.
I doubt that, specially ns2 vanilla can't have the millions of options that ns2+ has, that is just too much of a support nightmare. That said, more and more ns2+ features are merged into vanilla
Tell that to Bethesda and the Fallout/Elder Scrolls series.
Don't doubt it. It's absolutely true that the vast majority of NS2+ is basically essential. Once you've got used to it, you return to a vanilla server and it's like 'wtf... vision obfuscation, probably not working alien vision, horrible HUD, worse performance, different hit sounds, no different sens/FOV for aliens/marines' the list goes on and on and on.
I'd like to see all of NS2+ in vanilla
BTW I tried using Huze's minimal alien vision mod on a UWE server after our discussion here, and it's not active at all. It goes back to default AV.
!! Fix plox!!
I'm waiting...
