<div class="IPBDescription">Not to every game atleast</div>Hey, I'm new here i was wondering a few things; such as

1. I have noticed a lot of hype about this mod and i was wondering if there was a past release, otherwise why is there such a hype?

2. With all of the other mods, like CS for instance, would there be some sort of cheat protection? If yes, do you think that ogc might find this mod interesting? Because i would worry about things like that. (maybe its just me)

3. I have seen the design maps for this and they look VERY NICE. I just thought I'd ask how you thought this mod up, hehe.

I know im asking quite a lot of questions, but you dont have to answer them. I dont mind, but if you do wish to answer them could you answer the one about the cheat protection :-).

    1.) There is yet to be a release, but there is a lot of activity in these forums and the community is very supportive and mature, so Flayritis spreads (Flayra is the Big Man on Campus).

    2.) Sorry, thats a question for someone on the inside.

    3.) Im sure that Flayra and Friends will be glad to answer that. They have before. From what I know, it's been an (Cough, pun) Evolutionary process with a lot of time (years) of incubation inside Flay's Brain Box. Some of the ideas have come from people like you and myself, contributuing ideas in the forums. The basic principal is pretty much Flayra's brainstorm. I'll let him elaborate in more detail if He so desires.

    Welcoem to the forums, join the shotty fan club.

    1. the hype around this mod is becouse it's more a "proffesional" game then a mod and it would rule when it's released.

    2. it uses the standard HL anti cheat protection 4 sure

    3.  no idea
  • MoleculorMoleculor Namer-of-Bob Join Date: 2002-01-24 Member: 9Members
    1. Nope. No past release. It's just -that good-.

    2. Valve's cheat protection, and if it does become a popular mod, hopefully all the PunkBuster-likes will design anti-cheat software as well. Flayra may be planning his own personal version of anti-cheat stuff and has just never told us (it'd be smart not to publicize it). Dunno.

    3. The maps are designed by community members. Or do you mean design docs and game info and such?

    Check out the General Forum FAQ for more info (it has a LOT of very useful links, such as one to the ReadyRoom).

    Yeah it was The Readyroom that took me here, hah. I "stumbled" upon it while browsing through valve-erc. It seems you guys even got their attention, Good Job! I do hope that this does become a popular mod, not to those of such who have to go as low as cheating, but to more mature (hehe) players. I for one know still think that Counter-Strike is still a fantastic Mod for Half-Life. Too bad there are those drawbacks. Well, enough from me on the Anti-Cheating subject :-/ its giving me a headache.

    Welcome to the community, Neph. That is, if you are staying with us. =)  This is a nice solid community, and it's growing a little every day. Hope you stick around, this game will surely turn a lot of unexpected heads come release date.

    Looks like its up to me to plug the ever-growing, ever-so-friendly IRC channel, <b>#naturalselection </b>on <b>Gamesnet IRC</b>. Be sure to visit, we won't bite (except for coil, where its considered a greeting <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo--> ).

    Nice an irc, usually people give me the website for it so i dont know the server that its on. So it takes me quite a while to find it on Tracer Script. Anyways, sounds good ill be sure to idle there. <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->

    To answer #3, this is the mythology behind the idea of NS.

    one day while Flayra was *experimenting* with certain things, he was playing starcraft, before he knew it he was playing CS, after time they sorted of melted into his mind and he began to tell everyone he knew he has been playing this cool RTS FPS game.  Well much to his disbelief, it was merged memories of SC and CS, before you know it, Flayra wants to make NS.

    Motivated with his buddies LSD and POT he will show all his miraclous dream.

    The End.

    <b> Moderator note: This is in no way how NS was created.  You might think it's ridiculous that some people would believe this but I've seen it happen...</b>

    Haha, that sounds like a fun filled happy story to me. I always wondered how people thought games up, can you remember what happened after you took lsd though? Hehe, nice story.
  • EdoEdo Join Date: 2002-05-13 Member: 606Members
    Thats the moral of the story, you can, since he couldnt tell the difference between starcraft and counter-strike, it all just melted togehter.

    Good Job Flay.

    *gives flay an astoudning thumbs up*

    what the hell is irc?  where might i get it?
  • JedisarJedisar Join Date: 2002-03-03 Member: 264Awaiting Authorization
    www.mirc.com

    Download the free trial, it lasts forever.

    IRC stands for Internet Rely Chat.

    I am not sure, but I believe MIRC stands for Massive Internet Rely Chat, but I may be wrong.

    LOL! Wow that was funny  <!--emo&:0--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'><!--endemo--> You should also get tracer script, if it's any different than mirc. I don't have mirc, but I do have tracer, and I know its very cool and easy to use. If you have questions on it just pm me.
  • GreedoGreedo Bounty Hunter Join Date: 2002-01-24 Member: 37Members, NS1 Playtester, Contributor
    Do not get tracer script.  A lot of the ops in #naturalselection absolutely hate tracer script.  It is really, really annoying.
  • Ph34r-NephronPh34r-Nephron Join Date: 2002-05-22 Member: 659Members
    Wow please burst my bubble more while your at it <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->. I won't use tracer when I'm on your irc I guess, ok? Ok <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    A reason I just remembered about why there won't be much reason to cheat:

    The existance of the hive mind/motion tracking will make wall hacking near-obsolete. The game is designed with the fact that you can see people through walls (and even all the way across a level) in mind. Heh, it's practically a cheat coded right into the game. But since everyone has it, it's a level playing field.

    Wow that is so cool, I want this game to release so much. More and more information is going into my brain and ideas are just popping out of nowhere. These maps are incredible, and the models are fantastic. This will be better than any other mod!
  • CubicVirtuosoCubicVirtuoso Join Date: 2002-05-15 Member: 620Members
    I know I loved this:

    They released the tech map release and you can play SOME maps on there and check out the RTS system its pretty cool if you are going to burst with anxiety. I know i musta built a million turrets just to keep me entertained <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo--> . It was rather ammusing actually, especially since I didn't know what to do with the bots. Anyway get the map release pack it will quench your thirst for NS. Also about cheating in the game I think it will be as frequent BUT not worse than CS. Sure there will always be people who cheat but every NS server should have a cheat protection, NONE SHOULD BE WITHOUT! Even if it doesn't block certain cheats it still scares the people who use them. LONG LIVE CHEAT PROTECTORS!

    PS. Don't you find it wierd that CS and SC both have C and S WOW!!!!!!!!! I AM AMAZED
    PSS. JOIN HOD! gamesnet server join #hod
