Request To Server Admins

ReBootReBoot Join Date: 2004-05-26 Member: 28931Members
in NS General Discussion
<div class="IPBDescription">Subject: Plugins</div> Please put your plugins in the server's name or somewhere else I can read it.
Reason: sometimes, I just want to have a clear game. I mean, the game that was created by the NS-team. I don't want screenspam ("... killed you with ... and has ... hp left") and I want to know what I'll have to deal with. While the rotating medikit on the armory is useless polygons, the electrified IP sux. I like sneaking actions as a skulk and being killed by an ip is stupid. On the marine's side, if I am too stupid to forget the base defence, I'll loose anyway.

    you forgot to say that this is your opinion...

    Some servers have lots of plugin and I don't want to take 5 minutes to read a name of servers.

    a lot of plugin are good (IMO the best at the moment is the cheesy wave respawn in CO)

    The only thing I request is to KNOW what game I am about to play. And I've never seen many plugins that affect the gameplay/game balance at time.

    there is a fairly short limit in the length of a server name... listing plugins isn't always viable - much easier would be to find the clan / community / person that owns the server on irc, forums or website, and just ask them <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    When you join the server, they usually list the plugins in your console when you join.

    Another useful tool is to go into a server and type "meta list". It'll give you a list of all currently running metamod plugins.

    I'm not sure what the commands are to view the currently running AMX/adminmod scripts though...

    why not just become a reg on a server...Find a server without all that and stay on it...

    While connecting, I have no console, only the progress bar.
    Thanks, I will remember meta list.

    If a server I like is already full, I have to look for another one anyway.

    I hate servers with all those stupid plugins that change how NS is played. This is a beta test. How are we spose to test it when people make plugins that change who NS is played?

    All my plugins have public cvars you can see in HLSW etc. If you don't like a particular one set ASE or something to not show servers running them. Here is the code I use to show all the servers running my plugins in ASE:

    <!--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-->1    if nsafk_version > "0" goto 52

    4    if alienupginfo_version > "0" goto 52
    5    if forcejoin_version > "0" goto 52

    You are joking right? They change the spawn system, then make the time limits 45+ minutes, when COMBAT IS MEANT TO BE 5-10 MINUTES. I always thought they called it "Cheesy" because it was stupid

    Well In my opinion the wave spawn is better. Why? because if all of one team is attacking the other team's hive/cc in combat and you only spawn one at a time.. well guess what.. game over. At least with wave spawn it gives you the chance pushing them back and heal your hive/cc and attack.
    Also when you wave spawn you have your whole team, and you can plan/coordinate an attack via mic. I Dont like games where you just spawn and shoot something die and everything starts over...
    Well thats just my opinion...

    Oh and about the whole naming plugins in the server:
    There are alot of servers without plugins, it shouldnt take more then 2 mins to find a good one and just become a regular of it.
    Besides alot of plugins are useful such as:
    Hive/cc health display in combat
    Phase EQ (auto drops ammo and meds upon request)
    Night vision (for those very dark maps)
    Waypoints fix
    Unchain teh chambers (allows you to drop any chamber but lets you choose one ability per hive)
    Unstuck (when you get stuck in something)
    store (stores weapons in armslab instead of having it all over the place)
    As well as plugins to fix MvM maps


    Of course there are alot of non useful plugins.

    Screwing the spawn and putting an artificial constraint on the game ( timelimit ) is a sign that the gameplay is flawed.


    Just put everything as it was before, and remove hability to heal hive and CC


    VOILA !!! no more long game AND no more ENDLESS WAITING TO SPAWN

    HOW SIMPLE !!
