Ns is based inside of spaceships right. aliens invade and the marines are sent in. what bothers me is what happened to the crew of the ships? all of the kharaa killed them right , but you never see and blood or bodys from the crew. shouldnt there be some evidence of the ships crew maybe a puddle of blood here a skeleton there. this might have been mentioned be for what do you think. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'> <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tiny.gif'>

it's a shame because that would add alot to the atmosphere for older gamers who can "handle" that level of gore.

uffo · October 2003

err... you can ALWAYS do a map with gore and blood, but it just wouldn't be ever official map.
But you'd have to those textures/models all by yourself

DarkATi · October 2003

Yes, sadly they do not want any such thing. No dead bodies, body parts....

Actually until 2.0 they didn't even have blood. Remember? When Marines got bit they didn't bleed. They added blood there to make it more apparent that you wer being bitten. Ahhh, makes me long for the 1.04 days, with nomblizkikkoman04. Heh.

nomblizkikko5 will be released later, right now I dont feel like compiling it, some parts still needs tweaking, but its almost done.

Im lazy. :x

The idea wasn't that the NS dev team was catering for "kids" who couldn't handle gore, the idea was that NS was supposed to be a vibrant Science Fiction game, not a dark Horror one.

aegix · October 2003

Seems silly with HL having am M15+ rating that allows for blood and gore.

Unless I imagines it didn't the Mapping Guidelines say something about being a "family friendly game" or something, perhaps I did indeed imagine this, anyway, dude GET NOMBLIZKIKKOMAN05 out the door IT PWNED ALL! (Though a little imbalanced once the rines got JPs, heh.

im not saying to put alot of blood or piles of bodies what im trying to say is put a little of blood on the wall or my be a skeleton or 2 in a hive so you can sort of know what happened to the ships crew

Tequila · October 2003

There's nothing really gory or horrific about a skeleton, it can just be used to show that a lot of time has passed and that there used to be a human presence there.

Arawn · October 2003

Skeletons are a bad idea..way too complex to make, and even then it probably wont look that great, if you use a solid skeleton texture it would look lame.

Kage · October 2003

There was a skeleton model in OpFor, not sure about HL though.

in half-life when you found the gauss rifle there was a pile of bones next to the gun. the textures where not that bad

Lt_Gravity · October 2003

maybe... I know Im evil but...
the server controls the entities right?
ok lets say you have a "under 18" version of your map, a normal ns map with no fancy things like blood, bodyparts etc.
FOR THE PLAYERS!
but server will get another version... tadda! oh, look, I found a way to make our server more popular XD

neone play one of nippers LOTR maps for cs? it was i think the 2nd moria one with a skeleton model that looked sweet. Plus i just finished the triology last week and is Gandalf one of the three?
<b>Three </b>Rings for the <b>Elven-kings </b>under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordo where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
