Ammo, And Meds By Way Of Pg?

Tyr_Of_War · March 2003

Hello,

I've played on a few servers where you could call for meds or ammo and got it with out the Cmder doing it. I know it has something to do with using the PhaseGate, but how is it done?

You can only do that if the server has the phase equipment add on.. It's not a standard NS feature (neither are Marine sonar radar and Lerk carrying Gorgs).. You do that by dropping the hp/ammo on to the phase gate. .And the last person who requested ammo/hp through the marine command menu will obtain those.. Works wonderfully for jp/hmg rush.. Because the goodies got dropped DIRECTLY onto the marine.. So all he needs is bind a key and kept requesting hp/ammo.. All comm needs is spam the hp/ammo through phase gate.

Thanks.

How could you tell if a server has the addon?

Xenogearz · March 2003

They'll usuaully mention it in the server message when you try to connect

anyone know where to download it?

MeltedSnowman · March 2003

I think it's called the "PhaseEQ" metamod. Run a google search for it?

Oh goodie, another way to make the jp/hmg rush more effective, just what we needed! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'>

Lerks carrying Gorgs is funny, I tried to fly one up to the top of the viaduct so he could web up and put a couple of OCs on the catwalk but he fell off near the top and went splat <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'> cos is ping was rubbish his corpse gor redemed to cargo bay <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>.

Gorgs kick their little fat legs really fast when they fall, it's quite funny to watch.

Try flying a fatty into a marine base full of mines and turrets and irritated marines, dropping him off, and then flying out.

Now thats a good laugh. I used to have a screenshot of that.

Spam chuckle the entire time for maximum effect.

Does anyone know if the PhaseEQ mod work with a lan game?

LeetVegeTa · March 2003

it should work the same for both lan and online games. you would have to set it up on ur server for it to work tho

Rue · March 2003

sounds possibly the worst add on yet for NS , the lerk and gorge thing is funny and could actualy be a good feature but the sonar type radar and the lasers comming out of ur gun makes it just stupid =/

Then don't play on their servers. The sonar radar and laser sights were added to make the game more similar to the Aliens movies. I don't see how it makes it "stupid" though... [...must...resist...flame....]

Tyr_Of_War · March 2003

I am tring to get the Phase EQ metamod plugin, but the siet has been down (www.metamod.org). Does anyone know another site I can DL it from?

GreyPaws · March 2003

Man, tweaking NS is a serrious problem. THe changes these mods provide do not take balance into account. The people who make these mods just want to take credit for being "part" of the NS scene, and before you "supporters" flame think about the fact that if a new player joins a modified server first they will never be exposed to the intended feel of the game.

Ben128 · March 2003

The reseason most people say that making it more "Aliens" like is "stupid" is because it seems to bastardize the purity of the game, it makes it into something its not. Not that its really that bad, its all up to the player what he wants.

As for the whole phase thing, that and the Armory/Health giver mod are the only ones i really dont care for. But if the metamod site is down, I am not sure. I will ask my main server guy where he gets his stuff from for our server. I know we have lerk lift/unstuck mods.

INeedAName · March 2003

I've seen servers where the armory gives out health along with ammo. I think it's a great relief on the commander who's probably busy with better things than to jump across the map dropping health to his rambo marines. But the game wasn't programmed for that, and the only plug-in I support is the unstuck programs. But I don't get stuck anymore, I've learned not to drop offense towers on myself. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

i'm posting this link here not to say i am in favor or opposed to server mods. i am posting it only for your personal enjoyment and experimentation. our lan group is having great debates about the phase_eq mod. the three mods we use right now are /unstuck (of course), statusbar, and commghost, all of which we feel are not exploitive.

all the current mods can be found here in the forum section:
<a href='http://modns.org/' target='_blank'>http://modns.org/</a>

btw, all the mods will run on a lan and even a non-dedicated server.

enjoy!

Alright, I'll bite. Be aware that I have not seen a laser-mod server in a long long time (months), but this was my opinion when it was popular.

The laser sights make it stupid for two reasons. It's a huge tactical disadvantage, and it defies the laws of physics.

Without a doubt, that stupid laser going all the way across the screen has given me away any number of times, to the point that I have to switch to knife or look at the floor. This is an obvious disadvantage - I'd much rather win than look cool.

Laser sights do not travel through the air like a piece of string. You only see a dot at the target. To see the entire beam, one must assume the air across the entire map is filled with a light mist or dust that you cannot see but still reflects the laser. Occam's razor suggests that the modmaker was simply ignorant.

There you have it. I hope I never see another laser sight mod again.

dms · March 2003

more similar to aliens? wasnt there a game called avp a while back?

seriously though, anything which takes responcibility away from the commander in the game is a seriously bad idea... I'm all up for avp style hand held scanners or something which forces marines on the ground to work together, but anything which makes the independent should be boo-hissed.

that the point of ns as opposed to a group of marines playing avp together!

hehe - yeah its a bother to get dust in teh air to see a laser beam, but very cool when you do, i find plummers smokes/flares very useful (oh sorry this is real life . Why would people need laser sights in teh game? They have a crosshair for gods sake.

That_Annoying_Kid · March 2003

the metamod makes it easy for marines to rush, even though it would make sense in life for something like that to work, but lerk lift is good.

Ammo, And Meds By Way Of Pg?
