    What do you mean he can't parasite it? Parasite does 10 damage, mines take 30 damage before they explode. Was this changed so Skulks can no longer Parasite-explode mines? <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->
    yeah but a lerk will hardly be able to parasite it.

    Hahahaha!

    You're right! You're so right! I completely missed the difference in the weapon model. That looks pretty good.

    OMG look at that health....

    I wonder how much health a lv. 10 Onos has....
  • AlignAlign Remain Calm Join Date: 2002-11-02 Member: 5216Forum Moderators, Constellation
    680, with current(NOT 2.1) health.
  • Quantum_DuckQuantum_Duck Join Date: 2003-10-21 Member: 21851Members, Constellation
    Level 10 onos in combat has 680 health and 400 armor + carapace if they have it, and most do. Unfortunately, due to their habit of sucking up every bullet in the room with the accurate collision box and slow movement speed, they generally don't last long against more than one equal level marine. Basicly, until a patch makes them somehow tougher, they are basicly just there to stomp, and distract the marines from shooting at the skulks that are actually killing things. A 250 health skulk is actually generally better at survival.

    Alright, Someone asked for map overviews, so I got some. This is the first screen I've posted, so it's something of an experiment. The lighter areas are the upper part which include the ship's bridge and rec room. The darker areas are the lower part which include the ventilation and maintainence areas, and of course the infested engine room. Behold, the map of co_angst:

    And here is the map of ns_agora. I think this will end up being one of my favorite maps. The weldable in the bottom left is only accessable by swimming through underwater vents right next to the hive. If you weld it, you can drain the water, making a siege friendly room near the hive.
  • Quantum_DuckQuantum_Duck Join Date: 2003-10-21 Member: 21851Members, Constellation
    Here's a shot of the room just to the left of the top right hive. "The Pit" presents some interesting tactical problems and opportunities for both teams.

    I missed this from the changelogs. That's very cool - I've often found hive sight to get in the way. Huzzah!
  • Quantum_DuckQuantum_Duck Join Date: 2003-10-21 Member: 21851Members, Constellation
    Here is the map of ns_metal. So far I like how this map is turning out. Interesting weldables.
  • Quantum_DuckQuantum_Duck Join Date: 2003-10-21 Member: 21851Members, Constellation
    This is that first weldable southeast of marine start. When you weld it, rather than closing the vent to slow down aliens, it reveals a ladder so marines can use the vent, which opens into a walkable space most of the way down to that res. The other weldable burns a pipe out of the way, creating another shortcut for marines where before only skulks and jp could get around. I hope a few more weldables are on the way, both of the conventional version that block a passage, and the other less common version that make shortcuts or do other interesting things.

    Hey could someone post hp/ap for all forms? At least at level 10... I want to see how hard to kill a lerk can be.
  • IcecreamIcecream Join Date: 2003-05-02 Member: 16006Members
    littel question!!
    will 2.1 only work on steam??
  • LaggasaurusLaggasaurus Join Date: 2003-11-13 Member: 22773Members, NS1 Playtester
    Yes it will be on steam.

    And miracle what stuff do you have to get a frame rate of 100?<!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    In 2.1o, everything gets a flat 20 health per level bonus, although I heard this is likely to change soon.
    So a skulk starts at 70, gets 9 levels, and ends up at 250. Marines end up at 280.
    Gorge: 150-330
    Lerk: 125-305
    Fade: 250-430
    Onos: 500-680

    Note that armor values and some damage values have also been tweeked, and are likely to change more before the final version of 2.1. Health per level is also likely to change in someway. I've heard rumors that it may be removed entirely, and many people have suggested changing it to a percentage of the the base health of the life form rather than a flat amount for everything. We will see.

    im not posting very often at this forums, but my comment to NS Combat: Very nice idea, but its a bad idea that the skulk can have 250 HP...
  • MrMojoMrMojo Join Date: 2002-11-25 Member: 9882Members, Constellation
    Why? It works out just fine.
  • MrMojoMrMojo Join Date: 2002-11-25 Member: 9882Members, Constellation
    Para kills seem to be more frequent now. Random pic from directory. ( Map is angst)
  • amckernamckern Join Date: 2003-03-03 Member: 14249Members, Constellation
    from what i can make out of these co screens is that ns is having a few updates

    text has been changed - dif font type
    spec gui changed
    hive site is now under the flashlight key

    is holding the crouch key let skulks walk on the walls, or is this cl_autohelp redundet still?

    amckern
  • RaVeRaVe Join Date: 2003-06-20 Member: 17538Members
    Actually the text is just Steam, that is the default font for HL on Steam

    But you're right on the other 2 though <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
  • MrMojoMrMojo Join Date: 2002-11-25 Member: 9882Members, Constellation
    The text has been completely changed ( Thanks Max). It's unique to NS, and features a chat "window" where you can use caps lock and other such things.

    Cl_autohelp, if shut off, won't bother you like it did in 2.01.


    Hive sight was always bound to flashlight for aliens.....

    Spec gui has been changed, but it will be changed ( more features) tonight too.

    why would that be? And especially why in combat?

    Not in 2.01. Go try it now - I just did. (:

    All it does is make the alien structures more semi-translucent and brighter than usual.
  • MrMojoMrMojo Join Date: 2002-11-25 Member: 9882Members, Constellation
    That's what it does here too....



    Hive sight ( flashlight for marines) has always just illuminated aliens and alien structures.

    Oh. From what the tooltip said, I thought it sounded like you could turn hivesight on and off.

    Dang, yo.

    [EDIT: for clarification]
  • MrMojoMrMojo Join Date: 2002-11-25 Member: 9882Members, Constellation
    You can....


    It's either cl_autohelp 1 or 0, or there's a checkbox for it in configuration.
