sh_giveres (Console command) and /giveres (Chat command) ~ Current settings: Marines to marines and/or aliens to aliens. No commanders allowed (yet). checks for the reciever and sees if the requested donation is above 100, and give the portion above 100 back to the donater.

//In particular, team res and commanders. 

//If the giver is a commander to a recieving teammate then take the resources out of team resources rather than personal.

So... every alien player pools their rez at the start to get a 30 second onos?

Calego

Usefulness of the mod doesn't matter to me as much as the comments in the mod code, helpful to a novice like me.

30 sec onos with no ups/biomass, and no other lifeforms for half the game?? Could be a problem, but definitely a gamble.

60 res for onos = 3 players total starting rez pooled over to 1 player, so on a 7v7 or higher, you could have 2 onos right from the get go. Even 1 would be able to completely deny one whole side of the map, especially if they have a gorge to back them up.

Soul_Rider

2 Gorge & 2 Onos against lvl 0 marines, yeah, that's gonna end well....

Scatter

Well, I don't really see what the problem is.

The mod is unlikely to be used on a regular server and will probably end up in a mod pack/siege mod type thing (the author did create siege mod) with a range of balance changes that the person sees fit. This mod now gives a mechanism to give res to other players where before there was no such mechanism.

Forest for trees etc.

Archie

Thanks man ! Actually guys/girls this is for siege servers (as scatter said, and as the creator kkyle is working with siegemod.)

Also this is a mod from NS1 too, it's pretty usefull when you have gorge doing more work like building chambers/hives etc. It's pretty much for the siegemod really, you were originally meant to give one alien all the res to build resource towers right at the start, or get hives. In NS2 unless you are playing on siegemod this isn't a problem.

Soul_Rider

Why didn't he put that in the OP?

For siegemod this is perfect, but as he posted it as a general shine plug-in, I assumed, along with others, this was for ns2, and it would be a really bad idea for ns2.

I haven't played much NS2 lately, only SCC map tests, so I haven't got around to trying siegemod. Have you removed the alien commander and given building responsibility back to Aliens and Gorges in particular?
