Lul, lets re-implement an ability that people became very agitated with in NS1 which took you out of the game for a couple of seconds and implement it into a "fast paced" mod of the game, YES that sounds brilliant.

well to be honest we did lower it to 5 seconds and that is a pretty BIG change from how long it took to kill you in NS2, we are also trying to make those few seconds interactive so its not as boring as just staring at the screen.
So if you kill the onos within those 5 seconds, is the person saved or do they still die? It was nice in NS1 where you could chase the onos down and potentially save a teammate.

Currently, you are saved, but as it's only 5 seconds it's happened to me only once. I don't believe they have any desire to change that.
I was thinking it would be nice to see the 24 player limit removed or at least increased to 32, i know there was some spawn issues originally but with the changes coming it would be good to let us have the option.
About exos, i was wondering if instead of being limited to only one of each why not allowed two of the same?
Also hows build menu coming along, are there any other improvements planned?
The build menu is coming along - most of the code is written but there are some bugs to iron out and we need to work on the GUI - it won't be available in this version of combat but will definitely be in our rewritten code/Xenoswarm release, in a few weeks!
I've seen normal servers with more than 32 so im not sure its a hard limit in ns2, i only ask as all combat servers have been 24 and i tried running my own a while ago.
Looking forward to new combat/xenoswarm, i have played around with the bots in eem and they're not bad, a bit simple but they work, though i couldn't figure out how to make them stronger?
Okay, can we get some conformity - should all maps be just co_name or ns2_co_name? I'm happy to republish my maps as just co_name, but we should agree on a naming scheme to make this easier for servers.
i miss ink! why completely remove it? thats one less alien upgrade did you guys take out emp or scan?. dont take out things without replacing it! come on guys. tweak it lower the radius raise the timer! but don't give up on it.
Ink presented a BIG problem, specially when used multiple times at the same spot so we removed it for now until we figure out how to reduce its radios or maybe even make it more transparent.
on an another note, what do you guys think of the latest version we published yesterday? video of change log will be coming soon btw!
Just a quick question: in the changelog video you talked about the new pwer node thing and said mappers might have to convert their maps. Do combat maps REQUIRE power nodes now or is it still optional? What are the exact effects for power nodes in Combat now? Is it only the lights or does it have an effect on preplaced structures (like an armory at Marine start), spawning, etc.?

My suggestion would be co2_name. So players don't end up downloading old maps from the internet and wonder why they don't work (just an off chance, I know). It'll also help so there's no confusion when talking about a map if it's an original one or a remake:
"co_faceoff" <-- original or remake?
"co2_faceoff" <-- clearly the remake. while "co_faceoff" refers to the original.
I don't really mind the ns2_co_name version, either. Conformity would be nice though

I personally don't care for co2_name. If it's a combat map that works in ns2 co_ is fine; it's not like people are confusing a .bsp for a .level. People will just know if it is a remake or not, the delineation seems unnecessary.

Oh yeah, sorry. I should have been more specific!
The power nodes are still optional and structures in Combat don't require power. If you add power nodes into your map they will only affect the lighting and the auto-heal mechanic stops them being too annoying!
I think the changes add more depth and give a more powerful gameplay. This mod is getting better each release, really god job
Pd: devour add is as nice as it can get, gj.
Thanks, we also feel it made a big empact on overall gameplay, the devour really is looking good thanks to Ice our awesome modeler hopefully we will see more new models now that a new modeler have joined us and will lift some wight off of Ice.
On a different note dude I love your map, maybe work with "Who is Mike Jones?" to finally finish it? it still needs some props, lighting and texturing. http://forums.unknownworlds.com/discussion/121430

Error in the latest build...
the cause?
type miss sry.
EDIT:
Test is now done, thank all of you who joined and helped us!
haha oh my you did not create a 'devoured by onos minigame', did you? I'm excited to see the new patch, when is release?
Currently, you are saved, but as it's only 5 seconds it's happened to me only once. I don't believe they have any desire to change that.

Also hows build menu coming along, are there any other improvements planned?
New buy menu will go into the new version of combat and not current one, too much work to do it twice.
Looking forward to new combat/xenoswarm, i have played around with the bots in eem and they're not bad, a bit simple but they work, though i couldn't figure out how to make them stronger?
