<div class="IPBDescription">New here</div> Hey all, I'm new in this forum but not new, I'm already into some forums, I request from u guys 2 help me.. Can some1 tell me an icq of a team member of NS so I can give him my idea (not a small idea or a change for one of the teams, an idea that will change the NS for good) I would like to share my whole idea with one of the team members before sharing it with any1 else, this is very importent, all I can say is that it's about a new side.. I got all the plans for the menus and the stractures, all I want is 2 talk about this with one of them on icq, thanks..
Comments
as for using ICQ , i would sugest that u get IRC from<a href='http://mirc.com' target='_blank'><i>Here</i></a> and join the gamesnet server and all the people u would ever want to know live in there.
personly i dont know if any1 uses ICQ but IRC is better and most used program to talk to other players and clans ect.
Edit: Use the ideas and sugestions forum to ask people about ur idea , gets a wider audiance.
It is unlikely you would get a 1 on 1 with the developer I'm afraid. Try PMing Flayra if you want, but he doesn't always give you the most prompt of replies.
[edit] OMG 100th post!!!! [/edit]
I really hope you do have an awesome idea that will change the future of NS. However I highly recommend posting it in the Suggestions and Ideas forum. Flayra checks it pretty regularily, and if your idea is really good and original people will tell you.
On the other hand, if its horrible (or suggested before), they will tell you, and you wont have wasted precious dev time <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
You have thought it all out, but 1 or 2 things of your Idea might not be possible or may conflict too much.
So it's always best to post it in the S&I forums first, or try IRC like the others have said.

But I wonder if it'd be possible to have a different race based on map?
I like consistency as much as anybody, but variety is cool, too.

Still not possible. The HL engine only supports a certain number of weapons, and they only have 2 or 3 weapons they can add before they hit that limit.

Incorrect. As long as no more than 32 different weapons are loaded at one given time. In other words, you could have two different races, however, in order to do this, you would need extreame measures and a SH!TLOAD of coding to make it all work, maybe as drastic as different installs of NS to play the game, for example. (Wanna play Aliens vs. Marines? Load up the AvM version. Wanna do aliens vs. Cyborgs? Load up the AvC version... etc.)
Anyhow, Hi. Use IRC, as it has already been suggested. About your idea, don't get your hopes up, and you should really post it in the Suggestions and Idea's forum. It's there for a reason.

Hmm, I stand corrected. Still not going to happen though <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
I am sure that your idea is great and well thought through, but as mentioned by posters before me, the HL engine is quite old and has some strange limitations. If I were you, I would read through the "Suggestions and Ideas" forum to get a general idea of what is possible and what is not, before I worked further on the idea. Perhaps it will be possible to implement all of your idea if the developers and the rest of the community like it, or perhaps only part of it. At the very least it will inspire to new creative thoughts, so go ahead and post it up in the S&I forum.
