NS HLTV screen captures

<div class="IPBDescription">From the upcoming NS v1.1</div> Hey everyone,

It's been awhile since I've done this, but I thought it would be nice to post some screenshots of our work in progress. Please don't ask for screenshots of anything else, we'll post them when they're ready.

Here are some screenshots showing off the HLTV and the new spectator features in NS v1.1. While waiting to respawn, you can go to first-person spectator, third-person locked, or third-person free-cam. It's not fully decided on or implemented, but you'll likely see a lot of other stuff on the HUD when you're in first person. Right now, hive sight, alerts ("your hive is under attack") and health and ammo show up as if you were looking at the screen of the person you're spectating in first-person. If you look closely, you can see the health and ammo readouts in the lower left underneath the letterbox bottom border. I'm not sure this will stay in or not, or what else will be added, but I'd like the first-person spectator to have lots of information.

These screenshots were taken on ns_bast and ns_lost. Without further ado:

    Will it still be the case where, while dead, when you move into the REIN status, the viewpoint changes to another alien/marine? This is a bit frustrating.

    hltv looks good anyhow, i'm guessing it will look like that in spectator mode too?

    i think Flayra might have his in 32bit...not sure, but it doesnt look that different from when i play on mine...just that the colours are slighty richer looking. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I wouldn't be too surprized if it is a sweet setup. I'd imagine it may be as good as a multiple computers setup (one running a debugging program, one running a dedicated server, listen server, or both), or some mini-supercomputer with a video card for each monitor and who knows how much system and video card ram.

    Some more fairly educated guesses can be made from reading his resume and checking out what he's worked on in the past. Check www.overmind.org


    P.S: Flayra, on a win98se machine with directX9 I <i>did</i>manage to get Aquarium Fighter to run...well, more like show the menu screen, control options, and allow you to exit properly. Should I post screenshots here, make a new thread in General or Off-topic, contact you and send them just to you, or just hold off unless I find a way to get the actual in-play action working?

    That overhead map view is just awesome. Can't wait for 1.1. The HLTV support looks very good. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Yay! I guess I will start being spectator more <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> If will be really useful .

    BTW will one day be possible to spectate the commander ?? Seeing all his map and the commander console with the mouse moving around. Like in some demos of being commander , but in game .

    is ns_lost a new map or a custom one availiable somewhere?
  • coilcoil Amateur pirate. Professional monkey. All pance. Join Date: 2002-04-12 Member: 424Members, NS1 Playtester, Contributor
    NS_Lost is Greedo386's map; I believe we will be playtesting it for 1.1, but no official submissions have been announced yet. That said, I'll smack Greedo around if he *doesn't* submit it. (:

    For the record, UhOh - that's not a "new minimap." It's a map for HLTV only - the marine minimap will still be as it currently is, perhaps with some improvements (blips and such). I don't know what Flay currently has planned for it, though.
  • RazorClawRazorClaw Join Date: 2002-11-06 Member: 7413Members
    To be honest I don't think that would have made a that great minimap either, sure it looks nice but it would be too colorful making it hard to pick out stuff.

    Probably great for just observing though...

    Very nice Flayra and the rest of the NS team.
    Keep up the good work.
    2 Questions though.......

    1: What screen resolution is that in? (and colour depth)
    2: What happened to the topic you created about donating to NS
    to get an icon by your name on the score-board? It seems to have
    vanished
  • LucidLucid Join Date: 2002-12-11 Member: 10534Members, Constellation
    What kind of support will NS have in the future for "commentating". I watched a few scrim demos the i got from shambler.net and there was a guy who was calling all the plays. It's tough sometimes though because all you can see is what hes looking at at the moment. I don't know much about HLTV but will demos be able to be recorded with all of the data? Will you be able to switch around views while watching a demo as if it were happening live? I don't know if you are familiar with warcraft 3 but the demos in that game were fully recorded in this manner.

    when u record a hltv demo, it records anything and everything. You can switch views, pause, fast forward, rewind, etc etc. plus hltv has it's own built in commentator stuff, so NS will at least have that option cause it's the basis of HLTV. The commentator can be recorded live (or delayed) according to whatever hltv has setup for.

    thanks regis. All that sounds great. I'd love to commentate for clan matches if anyone is interested! I'll work for cheap too <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Check the mapper forum.
    Think there where som changes coming that will be released with 1.1 because he didn't want to force people to download it again. But since they doesn't realy affect gameplay I would say that it is finished.

    I like HLTV but why bother for NS?

    All that coolness just to watch a bunch of marines bounce up and down wherever they go. Bounce up and down when they are being attacked. Bounce up and down when they are attacking. Bunny hopping has become such a popular tactic, teamplay has taken a backseat to the ability to jump and fire at the same time.

    As far as I'm concerned HLTV is instrumental in making NS a more spectator friendly teamplay mod, this means leagues like CAL will be more interested in making NS an event at one of their tounaments. But will this make a bunch of hopping marines entertaining to watch? In the NS manual we are made to believe sticking in squads of 4-5 Marines is best. In reality a squad of 2-3 skilled bunny hopping marines can do everything but major Hive attacks.

    I don't deny that jumping, aiming, and firing takes some skill. However, as a spectator sport how exciting is that tactic to watch? Could the decline of DM based tournaments be an indication of where bunny hopping, a DM-based skill, is going?

    It's quite relevant to the bunnyhopping thread.

    It's totally out of place here, though. q:

    i hope high porfile matches will broadcasted

    maybe the finals for CAL (or CPL, one day)


    but here is a question, when you join in spec mode in 1.1, will you be able to see text messages?

    Purty Flay. And unless I'm very much mistaken it appears u can have pip in first person. I was very ticked off in CS when I tried to get the lil mini map in first person and no picture in a picture appeared.
