The Nuke And Power Armor

Zaggy · March 2004

<div class="IPBDescription">What where they? In which version?</div> I've played since 2.0, so I never ever saw a Nuke or Power Armor, I tried searching for the Nuke but I couldn't find much info, the same goes for Power Armor.

Could you tell me what they were and what they looked like? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

They were both pre-1.0, so anyone who wasnt playtesting wouldnt have seen them.

if you have a pre 3.0 version of Ns you can look at some of the commander HUD sprites, they are still in their <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />, maybe there still in 3.0 i cant check right now

Yea, you can find a lot of traces of the Nuke...I think theres the comm button (see Rue's post) and I remember seeing the death sprite. Theres also random mentions of it in the codes and such.

Power armor on the other hand, just dissapeared without a trace :/ Probably got written over by HA.

Every 4 months or so someone comes and asks these same questions.
So to anyone who doesn't know yet. READ THIS THREAD and spread the word!

Wow, how/where did you found that?

Power armor was simply the standard HL chrome effect, in white.

The nuke was just a white flash and a screen-shake. There was no artwork for it; the "nuke factory" was the nuke from Op4.

Legat · March 2004

How did power armor actually work? was it deployed like HA and just a better armour or was it some kind of upgrade? Or was it a temporary effect like the catpack?

Oh man, oldskool processing - when sieges auto-hit any structure in range and could kill 2 hives from there. gg ns_processing

coil · March 2004

Power armor was 190 armor and automatically regenerated over time (fairly quickly, maybe 2 points per second). Horrifically overpowered.

Nemesis_Zero · March 2004

Also, it was a one-time-fits-all upgrade without of any kind of temporary effect or other possibility of negating it. Needless to say, I never got to play marine in the versions that included it <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' />

Thrillhouse · March 2004

whats that think under the ammo pack in the Com HUD?

And it'd be awesome if Flayra released the pre-1.0 version of NS for fun.

Petco · March 2004

Nuke thing looked like the pic below and i only saw it in 1.04-2.0 where the admins always nuke everytime a team really have lost like aliens no hives and hiding and marines about to die

Petco · March 2004

half-life armor and jump packs <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

BigBull · March 2004

thats g4b2s custom map server.

Not pre 1.0

Da_Sarge · March 2004

Power armor.....Hmm, I could have sworn I read something about it being electrified or something and it made crackling noises while players walked as well. Maybe I'm just going crazy.....

Rue · March 2004

just noticed this but when you try to reply to a locked thread, the symbol they use next to the word 'Closed' is the nuke <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

Winter · March 2004

Yeah thanks Rue.

Yeah that last screenshot is from that Jump map. Pretty fun. I played it a few times on.... Guns I think?
