<div class="IPBDescription">where is it?</div> I've been looking for the 2.0 manual, but as far as I can see the NS 2.0 installers just makes a link to the old manual. When are we getting a new one?

I understand that a manual like the first one with lots of graphic design and backstory could take a while. Not needed. Just a text file with a description of how stuff works and some numbers (like walking speed at various levels of celerity, weapon damage, armour system) would already be great.

    i guess if u REALLY wanted to find info about 2.0, u could read the old manual, then go view the changelog. and theres some internet programs doin the rounds that show u how much damage it takes to kill a 'rine/kharaa/structure from each type of attack. very handy - an lv2 marine can now kill a fade in 48 LMG shots <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    No more 'ahh theres a fade active, lets base recycle/dig in'

    The 1.0 manual doesn't cover things such as the 'new' command system. I say 'new' because its supposed to have changed slightly with the addition of assigning squads etc but I don't know how to do that, I also dont know how to give players orders other than "move to waypoint" orders. Whats happening?! <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Squads are made by holding duck and pressing a number (1-5).
    Hotkeys are now in a 4x3 grid to match the box in the lower right
    <u>q|w|e|r
    a|s|d|f</u>
    z|x|c|v

    The round button at the top selects all marines.

    I don't know how to give alternate orders either <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    alternate orders...

    (assuming u got some 'rines selected)

    - right clicking on a soldier gives 'guard soldier' WayPoint
    -right clicking on a dropped structure gives 'build structure' WP
    - clicking on a built structure gives 'defend target' WP
    - clicking on a weldable gives 'weld target' WP
    -clicking on a kharaa gives 'attack lifeform'

    (this isnt a WP per say, but left clicking on a lift will bring it up/lower it. this is sooo handy for the marines, as it can confuse enemies, block off an enemies path to ure troops, or prep a route for ure team. its very underused IMHO)

    btw jaxx,

    you can right click on any useable door/switch/etc. like you said; very useful but very underused.

    When <b>I</b> right click a marine to a building, it just gives a normal waypoint! Of course, that's because everything hates me.

    On a lighter note, anyone know if there's a way to easily scan an area? Finding an obs, clicking on it, and scanning is painful.

    assign the observatory to one of your hotgroups (select it and hit Ctrl + a number from 1 to 5)

    When I right click on structure to give a marine an order, its always a "move to" waypoint too. I don't know whats wrong, it used to give them build order in the older NS.
