<div class="IPBDescription">because 005 makes me cry</div> So I finally decided to get to it and update siege so it sucks less. We’ll see how it works out. <a href='http://cloakofletters.homestead.com/files/ns_siege006.zip' target='_blank'>ns_siege006.zip</a>

good work on 006 <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

Jezpuh · June 2003

Played it many times now.

Very good gameplay, we relocated to some high level outside marine base, teching up, without problems.
Waiting untill siege room opened and pwned some aliens.

And make the commview higher in 007, I could build as comm :\

Lightning_Blue · June 2003

A few things:

more info_locations!

Seemed biased towards aliens, especally on smaller games.

On a 3vs3, the door opened and two onos and a supporting gorge popped out <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'>

We were smushed.

Nice monkeybars <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

CheesyPeteza · June 2003

Yes definately more info_locations. Also I had trouble upgrading things outside the main door.

Another thing, the timer for the door starts automatically when the map loads even though there might not be anyone connected. If you change to using a trigger_random set to trigger at round start and a trigger_relay as a delay you can get the countdown to start when the round actually starts.

Lightning_Blue · June 2003

Yeah, the door seemed to open awful fast sometimes.

5 mins to door open, and two mins later it opened.

We won by a thin thread as the hives were being sieged, and not much can stop 4 onos, 1 lerk and 1 fade. We made it in the nick of time. Onos pwns HA, so gg.

Lesson to marines: Recycle the phase leading to your base <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

SMOOOOSH!

Crash you dont play it enouf, love the new map seems to be more balnaced with good people

DEADscott · June 2003

I put it on our server at 3 Pm central time yesterday. Just siege005 and siege006 were in the map rotation, no other maps. The server was full until 4 AM this morning. Dosn't matter if you love or hate these maps, the public loves them!

On siege 006, only 1 res node seems unuseable, all the others can be built, but you must be looking into the coners to place some of them. On the 4 times I played 006, aliens won 3, marines won 1. The marine win came by pushing into the alien side of the map and sieging from there. If the aliens get Onos quick enough Marines are toast. The marines need to push fast and hard to keep the aliens from getting Onos.

I have emailed you about this but recieved no reply. I see you had email problems. Please settle a dispute we have inside our clan. Did you intend for Fades to be able to blink through the siege window in 005?

Cloth_of_Letters · June 2003

I haven't played much yet. Are all of the rooms being used? Has anyone found the secret room yet? How DOES Barney die? When will func_tanks be able to kill people? How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop? Is heavy armor being used at all?

<b>If you change to using a trigger_random set to trigger at round start and a trigger_relay as a delay you can get the countdown to start when the round actually starts.</b>

Good call. We'll see if I can get it right next time.

<b>I have emailed you about this but recieved no reply. I see you had email problems. Please settle a dispute we have inside our clan. Did you intend for Fades to be able to blink through the siege window in 005?</b>

I don't want fades to be able to blink or shoot through the glass. I've done a few fade blinks through the glass myself, though, but only when the door was closed. I don't have a server and I don't remember ever saying it was ok; I've even told some people they're exploiting when doing that stuff.

Cloak_of_Letters · June 2003

Ok... it looks like it will let me use "Cloak of Letters" now despite still having never sent the conformation email.

DEADscott · June 2003

Most of the rooms are not being used, just the ones near the bases. We run 1.05 which means we us the jet pack nerf, so JPs are seldom used anymore. Lots of heavy armour. They found the secret room in the pit by the siege door on the first map. Most of the time someone "uses" Barney and gets him to follow them around, usally the gorge. Guess he dosn't feel so lonely then. It dosn't seem like the siege room get used alot, as the HA marines are busy pushing the hives. Pick a time and date and we will run the map for you repeatedly. It will fill up fast. We love havimg mappers play with us.

{EDIT}Thanks for the window answer, clears this up for us.{/EDIT}
