Early Screenshots Of Natural Selection?

Cereal_KillR

Yeah I was looking for screenshots... Now if someone can find that .txt with those early ideas on NS <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I remember an old bug that when the marines woould weld the vents a lerk or fade could shoot through them but the marines couldnt shoot back. i took out so many marine bases like that. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

WOW! Those are really old! That must have been in the first few weeks of making the mod

Renegade.

I don't think the nuke would be overpowered... considering pre1.0 they had something called a "hivegun" (still in your NS directory)... sounds pretty bad-**** to me!

Also, with the progress bars, way back in 1.04 I suggested they change them to look more alien-like. I even went as far as comparing gestating to looking like Windows!!! (*gasp*) <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo-->

edit: those laser mines just scream danger! (and don't bug me about redemp skulk... everyone was doing it back then <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> )

hivegun was the hive hand from half-life... at least the model

i remember seeing that somewhere like.. a year ago..
was wondering where that went.

Yeah, NS has jumped leaps and bounds and it really is amazing. The community's changed a lot too, cant say it's for the better though :/

But I'd kill to see shotguns that shot slugs <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I want armor peircing bullets!

Mineshaft WILL prevail -- The community will make it so. Do I smell an e-petition?

I want a OMFGROFLHAX gun... and a bite gun... wait.. I have one of those....

I always liked mineshaft :-/

sounds like one of mcheifs ideas.

if you dig around in the ns entity definitions for 3.0F, you can still find the nuke entity, im pretty sure the code is still there, just the ns team did something to disable it, because my jerry-rigging was unable to get the nuke to work without causing the server to crash. maybe someone will have better luck than me?

also found babblers down in there, but its just labels, all the code is gone.

From english_titles.txt, and it looks like the devs got around to making an autohelp for it, but no actual nuke. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> I do believe I've seen the nuke death sprite before though.

Swift

Any slay gives you the nuke sprite.

Jesus look at the res tower! It's fugly!!!!1111111

aeroripper

cheez no kidding, talk about low res

Renegade.

Just to be clear, that's not indicative of NS 1.0, but rather indicative of really horrible graphics settings <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Poor server cpu...

urinalcake

All these old screenshots.
*has heart attack and dies*

Iunno, I dont remember seeing much nuke usage back when I was playing.. or maybe it was because I was a total idiot in early NS. Although I know it was cool.

Thaldarin

This make's me want to ask Flayra if he can dig out any playable RC versions for us to have a run around on. I'd love to see one released for the public to view.

DrSuredeath

Ooh, boy, I remember sneaking into Marines base as a skulk, evolve to gorge, and wall of lame the command chair. (In maps like caged)

Fun as hell.

Flayra

I'm sure you probably didn't' want concept sketches, but here is the vast majority of them:

There's quite a few here I don't remember seeing posted before. From what I'm seeing, some of the scrapped ideas seem too reptilian to fit the mammalian looks of the Kharaa, so I can see why they've since changed.

Hmm...a guy with some free time to be imaginative could make quite a fan fiction work regarding these now-unused concepts...

urinalcake

Yeah, Marik's got it. HINT HINT, NUDGE NUDGE. This is where the fanfic people come in.
And some concepts in there are ones I haven't seen before/in a while too.

Theres a black and white version of this dude somewhere.

Some of the alternates would still look great ingame, imho.

aeroripper

woah imagine what that alien could look and move like on source :-P

its tentacles reach around everything as it crawls along

Zavaro

And then theres... the Kharaa llama. Yes this is real concept art.

aeroripper

lmao at the llama

I remember playing a game where somebody put down a nuke and it beeped and counted down for 30 seconds and when it exploded it ended the level... i think it must have been an admin plugin because the game had gone on for a hour and was getting nowhere really.

We finally convinced him to shut it off with 4 seconds left :-P
