Droggog · January 2004

I'm pretty sure its a server plugin, not a photoshop edit. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/marine.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='marine.gif'>

Apocalipsus · January 2004

It was there on the server

Charge · January 2004

I run that plugin on my server, so nothing special. kthnxbye

Do you get any additional upgrades or is it just another big anus for the marines to flame?

UnderDOG · January 2004

I havnt played on a server with it, but it seems it would be used when the marines relocate, or in the case of a multi-hive lockdown.

Or cheats could have been set to "on" and you can use the spawnhive command to spawn a bucketload of hives to fill up your entire right half of the screen with hive icons.

But yeah, it's still fun to see <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

It's not a plugin, it's not photoshop, it's just cheats set to one and "spawnhive" entered.

edit : I see I've been beaten

actually, give team_hive and spawnhive, but that is a plugin.

MrMojo · January 2004

It's not a plugin, all you have to do is turn cheats on.

Jumbalaya · January 2004

i heard of a "marine start hive" plugin
maybe it really exist

Roger_Dodger · January 2004

It is a "plug-in" and a cheat, but i dont know how to tell the difference between them. Does the extra hive have different names in the plugin or sv_cheat?

It's on both. On the plugin, it places another hive location at marine start, which means if marines relocate to a hive, aliens still can get all their upgrades/hives needed.

im_lost · January 2004

When you add a hive using sv_cheats, it does not create spawn points. It uses spawn points from a nearby hive location. You can also use this to create hives in the ready room, but they won't actually spawn players.

hey, I HAVE THAT plugin on my server, and the hive is EXACTLY in the same spot. ITS A PLUGIN in that screenshot. OMG. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

MrMojo · January 2004

Hey, I've tested bugs with grepdashv ( on a 3.0, non plug-in server) and we spawned a hive in the exact same place with the exact same name.

So, it could be both.

Squinage · January 2004

Its a plugin go <a href='http://www.modns.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=114' target='_blank'>Here</a>

Wrong, spawnhive just spawns a hive at a hive location. If you use it when you have already 3 hives, nothing happens.

SuperTeflon · January 2004

FFS ITS A PLUGIN STOP CALLING HIM A LIAR.

im_lost · January 2004

It is most likely a plugin. However, it <i>could</i> be done using cheats.

Bry · January 2004

As Squinage said it is a plugin that is on modns.org

its purpose is to create a fourth hive location whereever the marine start is. This is to help try and end really slow or deadlocked games where marines have relocated to another hive. Therefore, aliens can still get 3 hives.

I can't say that's entirely true...

Using that command when cheats are turned on gave us roughly 20 hives on ns_bast in NS 2.01, three of which appeared in marine start, which was rather funny because 6 marines died because of instant siege blasts (ff was on). Might want to think that statement over. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

Can we settle for the fact that the "hive in a strange place" effect can be achieved in a plethora of ways, two of which are the "cheatmode" and the "plugin".

Does spawnhive actually build the hive not instant?

MrMojo · January 2004

When cheats are on, the hive is built in a second.

I just tried this on my computer (about a minute ago). You must use give team_hive, then spawnhive, to get these hives (or have a gorge build them after using give team_hive).
