Update 317 Live on Steam! - Natural Selection 2
Skulks, Specs and Whips OH MY! Update 317 is now available to the public and there is plenty to sink your teeth into. First off, we’ve added a new training...
Comments
i can probably do that as a mod.. maybe. but i think it would only be fair to have clown skins for gorges and elephant clown onoses too..hmm, maybe i might just..
second lol
The design of the whole mod, the kharaa style speedometer, the little map gimmicks, just genius!
..and Mephilles approves of the crashed train
I just went back into it and there seems to be a lack of "tutorial" element to it. Walljumping needs to be learned in an environment like this, but it just drops you right the time-trial it and expects you to know what to do. Does it give instructions on the first-time and then not on subsequent runs maybe? (I don't remember so maybe it did)
It might be worth it to make text/graphic instruction sheet on the loading page, and maybe even make it so you have to press a key to exit out of it rather than automatically closing, to give people time to read it. I understand that you've made it possible to watch other people's replays but they may not be able to tell what they're doing to get those speeds (especially in terms of keyboard stuff - jump-queuing or holding control to prevent wall stickage)
btw lol at the gorge stuck in the clogs
and Spring is supersonic!!
not sure how many badges there are, but I suggest you to give a special one to the top 10 players. And once you drop down of the Top10 you lose the special badge
Literally unplayable.
edit: Resolution is 1440p.
edit2: I also keep getting redplugs right as the race starts
Thanks for the report, we're looking into that resolution issue now.
As for the redplugging, what are your system specs? And does this happen only with ghosts or by yourself or both?
Essentially if you're redplugging it's because the local server you're hosting to play the race can't keep up for some reason.
Ensure you're playing in DX9 Fullscreen only and limit any background programs.
Happens with ghosts, too. It doesn't happen every time, though. And I only really noticed it when I tried to gain speed immediately before starting. Seemed to be more frequent when I start out in one of the corners closest to the door. No idea if there's a relation, though.
Will try next time.
If I sort for example by players and there are 3 servers with 20/20 then these 3 constantly change their position and I cannot click the one I meant to... while the browser is loading new servers it randomly changest the order.. other example when I order by password protection, they'll never sit still like i see in literally every serverbrowser I have seen -_-

About Skulk Challenge:
It would help if you would get the FOV / Show Viewmodel Settings from ns2+ for example, because it just confuses your learning aspect... And I get redplugs/rubberbanding as well
NS2 Crashes after Hivechallenge when I try to join a normal server...
Also, possibly a bug report. I managed to get the same exact time as my previous best, resulting in a screen overlay saying "New Personal Best" or similar. I guess this is justified if my average speed is higher than my previous run, but the same timing confused me. In code, maybe the time is actually measured in milliseconds rather than the displayed centiseconds? I wasn't quick enough to capture the New Best message, but there are screenshots below.
Badge spoiler below:
Even thou you might want to do hidden room hunting.
This is the stupidest change ever.
The solution has always been to go into the ready room and then back into spectate mode.
Now I can't do that.
- Performancewise being forced to the readyroom when ns2 is still loading it's really annoying...
- Not being able to join via Steam is also annoying because due to that I was able to not use the annoying fiddling serverbrowser and join after friends..
- MarineJump Broken
Lookin forward to testin this out finally!
