Build 281: Tutorial and Editor Update! - Natural Selection 2
Hi Ho, Hi Ho! Work continues and shows no sign of slowing up. Today we are releasing what some would consider a smaller patch, but for us it shows our...
Comments
That's a hive issue, nothing to do with the patch, hive is fucked, you will have to wait til hive 2.0
Damn, because i see other people games being logged and updated while all my hive stats stopped January 8th and its frustrating since im level 199 lol it pisses me off quite a bit actually seeing it stuck like that with no kills and no assists aswell haha or maybe im overthinking it.
Does that mean we'll be able to write non-latin/cyrilic by default at some point ? As I try to type hiraganas/kanjis (japanese) I find myself unable to see or send anything.
Also there doesn't seem to even be one line of japanese in the whole jp translation. How was this tested ?
Now when it's populating the servers are being scrambled so it's impossible to click on one until the its done.
This means watching 2-3+ servers at once for an open spot via refresh doesn't work anymore. Most of the time a spot opens up, it gets taken before the list is done populating and you can click on it.
Rather annoying to say the least.
The blogpost about B281 couldn't be more confusing. Romanian, Japanese and Chinese are now supported ingame but according to the translation page http://translate.naturalselection2.com/ on which you can make an account and help translating the game, suggests that only 68.19% of the Romanian translation is done, 42.99% as for the Chinese (simplified) language and 21.61 regarding Japanese.
So yeah, you can switch to Japanese (for instance) ingame but since only 21% of the game is translated in this language, you may encounter many strings which remain in english. I don't know why the newpost isn't clear at this regard.
It was my understanding you need to have the japanese fonts installed prior to changing language? I mean, why wouldn't a japanese player have japanese fonts? lol
I had this also.. Should've been the server is full message. Instead it was blank.
Okay this might be a little confusing but this patch only added those languages as selectable options to the option menu.
NS2 still doesn't support kanji or kana natively yet! That's the reason why half of the menu doesn't get displayed if you select Chinese, Korean or Japanese. However there are a few mods avaible at the steam workshop adding support for those:
I hope we can add support for asian chars to the vanilla fonts as well in one of the upcoming builds. Also we are curently looking into transfering the NS2 translations to the new UWE translation page which is used for subnautica as well.
The problem is, with current build, a JP/CN/KO might choose its language, do "wtf, sigh" then quit/have to revert. It would feel "right" to at least get the mod for you when you choose those languages.
If someone has confirmed that their server is indeed updated (try updating it again because this build had a hiccup and was reuploaded some 4 hours after it originally went out) and a client is still getting this (after they have verified their game files) please provide us with your log.txt or your zip file thats generated from running techsupport.exe (after you've closed ns2)
As for the server sorting issues, the server now remembers your sorting preferences from the last time, so are you sure that its not changing/ sorting based on your preference?
I will try to reproduce this now myself.
EDIT: It takes 2 seconds for my server browser to be entirely static (waiting on 2 servers on avg) when sorting based on ping, so I am not seeing what the rest of you are seeing? Anyone have a video of this?
EDIT2: Ahhh I see what you all mean.. It is not actually remembering the setting if you navigate to the main menu or restart NS2. Reported, thanks. As a workaround in the meantime, click any sorting preference AS ITS UPDATING and it should refrain from doing that for the most part. (I click ping)
Before I could go into the browser and every single time it would put my favorites first... Now they're scattered throughout the list and I have to click the favorites button first... A minor annoyance sure, but it gets more annoying when you click that favorites button then see a spot that was open suddenly gets filled... and you know that if it had been at the top when you first went in, you would be on that server happily playing instead of sitting in the browser still waiting.
I don't know.. I guess I just don't understand what was wrong with the server browser in the first place? It always worked and sorted the servers just fine for me. (up until now anyway)
Hiring @remi must be bringing them in
I would think it's the sale bringing them in. It doesn't seem like many people are happy with the latest builds.
I was actually on a server last night where the admin was promising a rollback to b277 soon and everyone was like "oh thank god"
Which server was this exactly? lol
The server with the most mods and the only server which doesn't have NS2+ that I know of.
Yeah.. I wish DMD ran less mods (so many redundant ones it seems) and LuckyFkers would use NS2+ (don't know what they have against it)
I especially wish DMD would get rid of that annoying ready room rave mod... All it does is spam insanely loud and annoying disco music that (according to them) you need to move like 5 feet away from to not hear it anymore (though it's more like halfway across the map!)
Even with all their problems and annoyances they're still two of the best servers in NA though... Man I miss MCG and KKG.
