    I think he was implying more that they had bile bomb with huge range that affected players and structures massively! It was game over with a bile bombing fade.
    (p.s. babblers were cool, but they were way too buggy, most of the time they'd miss, die too easily, get stuck in corners, or even attack their mother!!!)

    They weren't meant to be smart

    babblers had really similar behaviors to snarks. They even blew up when they died just like snarks. They probably just used the snark code till they wrote a better weapon.

    Not exactly an early NS shot here, but here's a shot of my original planned NS map ns_plant
    At the time of this being built there wasn't even plans yet for a command console or resource nodes :o I think it was more of a Starcraft indoor-map style approach to NS, before the RTS aspects really kicked in.

    This was later turned into a map for the Flaytona race competitions ^_^

    No, but they weren't meant to be buggy either.

    edit: w00t, found a console shot of me killing a guy with one, which in turn blew up a mine and killed another two marines!! <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> , note the weapon name "babblerprojectile" <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    The only thing I would be intrested in pre 1.0 is the nuke. I heard you had to make a nukelab, and research a nuke, and like in starcraft, you need someone to go to the hive to release it.

    Another rumor i heard it was a building you made, and it ticed down, and finally blew up.
  • aeroripperaeroripper Join Date: 2005-02-25 Member: 42471NS1 Playtester, Forum Moderators, Constellation
    that nuke sounds cool, sounds a litle unfair though.
  • ReVerthexReVerthex Join Date: 2005-01-10 Member: 34719Members
    Yes that was the nuke you research it and drop it in the hive a marine builds it and ya it explodes GG. ns_eclipse marines start in 1.04 FTW!
  • aeroripperaeroripper Join Date: 2005-02-25 Member: 42471NS1 Playtester, Forum Moderators, Constellation
    WOAH is there anyway we can still get that marine console in 3.0f?

    No, no matter how much it cost, or how little the radius was, it was too cheap. You can still find the nukegun somewhere in the ns directory.

    Maybe a mod or something?

    XTC, I think he was talking about the 2.0 console.

    No, you can't, but you can get the background I recompiled... <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=91050' target='_blank'>Clicky.</a>

    I searched the NS Dir for "nukegun" and I only found a text file named "weapon_nukegun" with this in it: <!--c1--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->6

    Well this aint that old, back to 1.04

    This one explains why old time players refer to mother hive as noname.

    hahahahaha

    Anyhow, I too can't get used to mother. When people yell mother I always interpret is at mother-interface.
