Fun in nstr

<div class="IPBDescription">Omgomogomgomg fun</div>Oh my you guys simply MUST try this.  

Get together on the nstr2 with some of your buddy and play one of the following games developed specifically for nstr use.

1.  Dodge-the-turret - Currently steve and my favourtie.  Get the map ns_eclipse by KFS and build some sentries, then have some aliens run around dodging them for as long as they can/  Award points for the alien that gets the closest to the turret.

2. Welder tag - Have two marines, and the rest aliens.  The Marines run around and chase the aliens with their welders.  It's really quite challenging, because the bobs are so agile.  If a marine kills a bob with the welder, he scores a point.  Bobs are not allowed to camp on the cieling.

3.  Slup tag - Same as #2, but the aliens chase the marines and slurp them to death.  This game works on the honour system because if you as a marine get slurped you must type "kill" in console.  Sorry guys.

Anyways, that's what me, Steve, RBY, Hellocke, Boz and Ebnar just spent a good half an hour doing.  I tell you, it's great fun.

    it was fun but for those of you that didnt know, to make it so you can hurt the marines as bob type this in console


    bind mouse2 "impulse 107"


    then right click and he pounces

    I found a little cheat.
    As a bob, if you press T (binded to impulse 107 by default) in midair, you will fly. FLY!! I was able to get past the turrets this way, but I snagged on the ceiling. If you press it enough, it acts like a teleport.. I went from the Hive room in eclipse to the Triad in under a second one time.
    I must say that us NS fans are a creative (read:desperate) bunch.

    <b>OMG</b>
    You guys are sick! Anyway, that sounds great.

    But, where can I get a map? (dumb question I know, but where to get a map if nearly no map is done already?)
  • ChromeAngelChromeAngel Join Date: 2002-01-24 Member: 14Members, NS1 Playtester, Contributor
    Where can I get ns_eclipse?

    Sono : Some (eventually all I hope) maps can be downloaded from <a href="http://www.planethalflife.com/nsworld/Main.ASP" target="_blank">NS World</a> (click the disk icon)
  • XTS_HighlanderXTS_Highlander Join Date: 2002-04-13 Member: 429Members
    Ack, apparently you can't damage marines by "pouncing" with bob.  You just fly alot.

    I guess I was one of the lucky ones that KFS handed it out to when he was feeling particularily nice one day.  There is a spot to download it from but I don't have it with me at the moment, nor could I find it if I looked for it.  I guess you'll have to ask him whenever he returns.

    There is also NSTR Hide-and-Seek. Marine faces a corner and counts to 30, and the aliens go hide. Then the marine wonders round with his flashlight, and the aliens are not allowed to move. When one is spotted, the alien joins the marine and they go look for more.

    The last alien to be found is the marine next round, and if you are found hiding in a vent, you get kicked by the console. <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->

    Great fun. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

  • ChromeAngelChromeAngel Join Date: 2002-01-24 Member: 14Members, NS1 Playtester, Contributor
    Floppy disk icon on the main list to the left of the maps name.  There are only 5 maps with downloads available at the momment.

    You don't want to see that map.  Consider a lack of ns_bast.wad as some kind of unintentional protection on my part keeping the rest of the world from ever viewing that map again.  (why am I still letting people download it?  aughh)
  • XTS_HighlanderXTS_Highlander Join Date: 2002-04-13 Member: 429Members
    Oh come on Greedo, It can't be that bad.  Whatever you do, just keep working on lost!  It's one of the most amazing maps (lighting-wise) that I have ever seen!  We need another build soon for nstr use. <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

    (Sorry for the Creed remark)
  • DruBoDruBo Back In Beige Join Date: 2002-02-06 Member: 172Members, NS1 Playtester
    Gwahir: make a copy of ns.wad and rename it ns_bast.wad.

    But greedo is right. Runaround does suck. Except for the readyroom, which I think is pretty cool.
  • LPCLPC Join Date: 2002-04-07 Member: 384Members, Reinforced - Diamond
    want a map to play on? why don't you download the alpha of ns_sync?

    you can find it on Badmofo's site.

    As much as I'd love to download Greedo's map, Tripod won't let me <!--emo&:(--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('><!--endemo-->  anyone have a copy I can grab?

    Daxx, if you use IRC just join our channel (#naturalselection on gamesnet.net) and ask for it.  If i'm around just yell "HIGH!" and itll beep me.  I can send it to you.
