<div class="IPBDescription">Lua ftw!</div>Ok so I've got basic (VERY basic) deathmatch working.

I currently don't have a real internet line, so using my mobile phone to post this. As such the testing I've done is 2 clients running on my pc.

Please let me know if it works as intended.

What it has:

- health counter in hud
- lousy death animation
- respawn after 10 seconds
- dead/alive indicator in hud
- score

What it needs:
- maps with spawn points spread out
- everything else

BACK UP YOUR LUA FOLDER
Then overwrite with this.
Please post feedback :)

Dirty hack disclaimer:
I'm on my way out, so I had to rush this. It's a series of dirty hacks intended to get something vaguely functional out there. It can and will be done far better than this.

    Good work. Mouse inverted is kinda ######, you can fix it in Player.lua though.

    Oops yeah forgot to note that. Mouse is inverted in my Player.lua

    Feel free to change it if it suits you better.

    how did you know about the command "Game.instance:KillPlayer()"? I've been trying to find all the built-in functions and whatnot.

    This community just doesn't take no for an answer,
    We'll have a very crappy hack of NS Combat up and running via the community before we even see NS2 Alpha!

    Combine the work of rsd and the guy that is working on bringing multiple character models into the engine and we might actually have a passable DM between Marines, Skulks, and Builder Bots. Of course I believe they will all be shooting LMGs at eachother!

    Anything is possible within the confines of the official artwork, so making skulks bite is definitely not out of the question, especially if the animations/sounds are in there. People could even figure out wallwalking. Though the current maps get you stuck all over the place.

    YES.
    This will be JUST like 1.02/1.03 (I believe those are the versions)

    Does anyone else remember the exploit where you could drop your bite or parasite and pick up an LMG?!

    It's not an existing function, I added it, hence the dodginess. I've only been coding in Lua for about 3 hours now, so any deviations from convention must be forgiven.

    Also you might notice PlayerSkulk.lua and BiteGun.lua. I started working on skulks but got side tracked by deathmatch. Run animations are missing from skulks sadly so I didn't see too much point in bothering. Plus implementing wall walking is a bit daunting.

    I've already got the biting done, that was quite simple. wallwalking...eek.

    Next up is more work on the DM + rifle butt slap though. Animations are there an logic is dead simple.

    Can someone get a public DM server up and running? I want to give it a shot before I have to head off!

    Why do I have to install the Lua myself to connect to a server? Shouldn't that all be loaded automatically?

    After pressing ~ a console shows up.
    In there you type
    connect 123.123.123.123
    Where 123.123.123.123 is the IP address of the person hosting the game.

    Maybe you should should be focusing on creating custom classes and overriding functionality you don't need, rather than editing existing classes that'll be overriden on the next update anyways. To get your custom gametype, there is probably a way to link it into the game. I haven't had time to mess around with it yet, but perhaps subclassing their base Game class will automatically register your custom game type as a valid game to play and add it to the list.

    Also, I disagree with Skyforger2, the more DM modes the better (to a certain point), it creates competition and drives each developer to make a better deathmatch.
