Hi... im new to thse boards...
Just wanted to know..
I started playing recently.. and that new beta came out...
I installed it.
Before installing this version, when I played with my friend in a LAN game even a normal game, we could just get 1 skill pts(In COMBAT maps), put the points in whatever we wanted to, for exemple, I could gain 1 pts as alien and put focus, then, I could rejoin(F4) and get the skill pts I had used back and so on...
So we could both play with fully maxed chars...
I had a lot of fun with that...
And now, with the new version, it doesnt work anymore...
I tried Enabling cheats like I did on old version ... but still, it didnt work...
Did anyone knew this thing?
was it a bug and they removed it?
Please help me cause i really wanna use that again and have fun with my friend...
THX

    Sounds like you were playing with Hambone mode.

    I can't remember the variable exactly, I think its mp_teamplay 2, but I know the value is 2.

    It sounds like he's saying that at level 2 he could get every upgrade possible by repeatedly going to the readyroom and rejoining. This sounds like a bug, and since it's gone it probably won't come back. Maybe it could be incorporated into cheats somehow, but I don't think there's enough reason to bother with it.

    It very well may have been a bug, but if you want to try out different upgrades, try Hambone. When you die you can rechoose all your upgrades, letting you try out different configurations. Hambone right now isn't fit for public play, but could be fun in a small controlled server.

    mp_teamplay 0 - Regular NS
    mp_teamplay 1 - Tournament mode
    mp_teamplay 2 - Hambone mode, Combat only.

    Yeah, that's a bug to be removed. There's probably a command you can use to give yourself XP, though, but that's definentley a glitch.

    Yeah, definitely one of the bugs that was crushed in the patch. And a pretty obvious one, really... I mean, think about how ABUSIVE that could be in a regular pub. Glad it was removed before too many found out. ^_^

    I actually think Hambone is mp_ironman 2, but I could be wrong. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I think the give exp command is giveexp or givexp.

    Givexp still only lets you get 9 levels of upgrades, whereas this bug would allow 15 for aliens or 17 for marines (if I counted correctly).
