Stupid Stupid Stupid Server Addon :/

DOOManiac

<div class="IPBDescription">"NS Admin"</div>Ugh. I just got done playing off the stupidest server to date. The server was running some sort of server plug-in that raped the core of NS. Quite stupid.

The server had things like Nightvision for the marines, the armory dispensing health in addition to ammo, gibs, and other silly things. Changed the way NS was played, for the worse. :(

There were also a lot of unmentioned changes. Damage felt as if it reduce for marine gunfire though I can't back this up. Perhaps skulks health was just stronger instead, I'm not sure. Also turrets seemed to die just when the factory was being upgraded. None of this is mentioned anywhere... quite dumb...

DOOManiac

Armory has a floating, rotating medpack above it...

DOOManiac

Resource nodes glow similar to the flag in TFC...

DOOManiac

and worst of all...

Techno-Kid

first of all, stop killing me. i hate you. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

second of all, yes, that's quite silly.

domesticxdispute

Jeeze, surprised this came out already. Voogru made the same kinda thing for TFC, tons of new features and stuff. Personally, I hate it. <a href='http://www.voogru.com' target='_blank'>voogru</a>

OMG that is crap! Wtf! Someone do something, Ns is already getting spoiled. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->

Blahman

The rotating health pack I've seen in normal servers too. It's quite funny <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Shadowics

Isn't NS supposed to have anti-cheating code? Or does that just apply to scripts? I would certainly call that a cheat and then some.

Gazaar

Unfortunately I had been stalking DOOM this night, and followed him onto that server. It was horrendous. We completely destroyed the alien team due to a steady stream of health that didn't cost anything in the long run, and the ability to see things in the dark. Ban Voogru from ruining games!

Phalck

It's simple really. Dont play on servers running his petty NS admin!

Ahnteis

Just don't play on servers with this.
It's like the NEO mod for TFC. Makes the game completely different (crap IMO).

Teufel_Eldritch

I stopped playing there because of that. Its a shame too because on that server I ping low as 30 and hi as 90. =(

ekent

Yeah i've been on a couple of servers with that health thingy. It completely changes the dynamic. There were armories in every room.

Wyked

i play on voogru quite often (just because the pings there are always absolutely beautifull for a 22 man server) and it really doesnt phase me too much.. i never use night (probably because im lazy) and the health is an added bonus that any competent comm would be able to handle without the armory. but ya, its still kinda weak.

Unleet

I played on a server that added a lazer sight to the lmg and pistol. It looked pretty damn cool but the down side was that it made it easier for the aliens to know how many marines were comming. It didn't really seem to effect the gameplay much though.

Teufel_Eldritch

I didnt like it either and thats funny because earlier I had been thinking how cool it would be. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

You know you can put healtrh into the armory on any other server... right?

j0e

it IS a server option. no reason to outlaw it - if people want to run a server with it, don't play on that server. but if someone is injoying it, and apparently 21 were, why stop them?

Vektuz

If the game did have something like that, the commander should have to drop health packs 'onto' the machine in order to recharge it, it should not be free... just basically a way of holding healthpacks that the commander has dropped so that they don't go away after a few seconds.

This on the other hand is horribly unbalancing and obviously the admin wants marines to repeatedly win.

Tempest

I'd never play on a server like that. :/ The armory giving health is just lame, it's for people who keep crying defense chambers are overpowered. As a marine you depend on your commander, and he'll heal you if he's good (and you deserve the heal, he aint gonna heal you if you go off deathmatching). Oh well, more power to them, next thing we know they make a plugin where you start with all upgrades and bases are indestructable so you can deathmatch all day.

Terr

I have no problem SO LONG AS they are clearly differentiated from normal NS servers in a filter-able constant way, and any changes are explicitly made known.

voogru

hmm didnt see this thread.

1. They need a observatory first to use nightvision.
2. Armory's giving out health was to relieve stress off the commander.
3. I am unable to change anything with the NS weapons except ammo counts (i could have 99999 HMG shots if i wanted) but i cant change the damage of ANY of the weapons.
4. Skulks were not touched.
Turrets dont die, maybe they get, destroyed? <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->

If you dont like my mods, im not putting a gun to your head to play on my server, if you dont like my server you can type disconnect in console <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->

Whatever you do, don't start a flame fest. It's not fun to be insulted. When you post, think about the other person. Would you like it if you were blatantly insulted like that? If the person is acting like a llama, calmly ask him to stop and include reasons for anything applicable. If that fails, report the thread to a monitor and have him/her deal with it

I think you just violated that:

You insulted my server, Also i didnt "RAPE" the ns core, i simply injected new code, same way AdminMOD/MetaMod works.

There is no cheat here. Everyone on the marine team can use nightvision IF they have a observatory. Just like the aliens can use the "F" key to make things glow.

btw, dont worry about ever coming in my server again.

PseudoKnight

LOL, voogru.

Criticism can't hurt you.
I think it's cool that someone's trying unique things with their server.

H_U_M_P

I like NSadmin! Works easyer than adminmod/clanmod. easy install REAL easy yo addadmin's. Easy to use commands.
Ammo despencer's dont half to giveout health. that is an admin op. Plus when a alien starts to attack a ammo despencer the health stops giving out till it is fiXed again, still has ammo though.
Nuthing has changed in my server cept that is is easyer to admin now:) thX Voog!!!

Knuke

Thats lame, im never going to play in 1 of those servers. <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->

H_U_M_P

That's ok you dont half to!

DOOManiac

thanks! now i can't join on accident :)

voogru

Acutually ill make it hide the connection message for you, then once you get in unbind all your keys, overwrite your setinfo lines, overwrite config and drop you back to the desktop.


Just kidding.

DarkSpawn

hehe a parallell: Some halflife player tries out a server and discovers it is runnin ns and goes; OMG they have destroyed halflife, lamer omg2k+withsugarontop, now I will go and play some leet halflife on my own listenserver instead.

Same thing I guess, in a larger scale.

Pardon my language in this post btw. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

Bill

Does anyone know how to figure out my wonid so that I may politely ask Voogru to ban me from his crappy servers too? It's going to be annoying when I want to play a normal game of Natural-Selection and accidently enter these hokey servers.
