Multiple possible hive locations.

<div class="IPBDescription">Aliens could choose from multiple locations where to place the hive.</div><img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hive5.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::hive::" border="0" alt="hive5.gif" />

I have been thinking about this because it would bring something different to NS where the aliens hive placement system doesn't really leave you so much choice as there are 3 forced positions.

First method to do this would be allowing hives to be made anywhere where there is enough room for the hive. This could take pretty much coding and it might be buggy and abused but it would be the proper way to do it.

Second method that could have (maybe) been used on NS1 is that the mapper would place like 7 hive entities but you could still only build on 3 of them. This would be safer way and could not be abused as the mapper would place the spawn points and possible hive locations.


Actually I would love it if you guys could add this to NS1 (yeah I know probably not going to happen <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink-fix.gif" /> )

I don't really know so much about coding but I think atleast the second way could be done pretty easily.


But yeah keep up the good work and please make a linux version of NS2!

    I also think this would be the better way and as far as I remember multiple/dynamic hive locations was already mentioned in one of the earlier podcasts/news and is planned for ns2.

    Yeah I remember them mentioning this too. Particularly in relation to changing up the early game so that it's not the same every single game on the same map.
