Bry · February 2005

Hi guys, i am pleased to announce that the Bry's NS community will be running another 1.04 steam weekend! This time we will be hosting it from Friday 18th February till Sunday 20th February on our high speed server visit <a href='http://www.brywright.co.uk' target='_blank'>brywright.co.uk</a>.

Some people had problems with the installers last time (mainly due to not reading the readme) so i have provided a online how to install a long with solutions to <a href='http://www.brywright.co.uk/ns/steam104.php' target='_blank'>common problems and tactical overlays</a>. I would recommend everyoen to read this before installing.

The installers are un-changed from last time so if you have the latest version from last time then there is no need to re-download them.

I provide 2 types of installers, an automatic exe (recommended) and a manual zip install (just extract to email/half-life folder)

Half the things you list - hell, more than half - remind me of why I don't play old versions.

i dont need to list the faults of the current version of ns as well do i?

This thread is not about which is better and id liek to keep that argument awau from this thread, as imo current version is better. But, playing 1.04 every now and again is fun as its different and nostalaga plays a good part.

This is not about which is better as there is clearly no contest. This is just providing a server and a few days for anyone who wants to play ns 1.04 again or try it for the first time an opportunity to do so.

EPcreep · February 2005

@ guy who listed the bugs:

i think (hope) there will be an admin online most of the time to prevent exploiting ... anyway if you know the bugs (like hidden hitbox when crouching) youll try to be (and convince anyone to be) fair and wont use them.

ill try to be there bry <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

Talesin · February 2005

A 1.03 weekend would be pretty cool, so long as admins were on to stop the marine-alien glitch, as I'm sure some people still remember how to do it.

A 1.02 weekend would also be useful... I'd LOVE to get in a few rounds of Predator Mode again.
For those who haven't had the joy, one Kharaa builds three Hives, all upgrades, then goes Fade and cloaks. Then the Marines kill the SCs and upgrade chambers, leaving the Fade perma-cloaked (old bug) and silent, with regen. MT is still broken (another bug). Marines tech to full and can use any weapons they like, barring turrets; as they see through the permacloak. It rocks on toast, as you get HA/HMG trains walking through the level.. to have the last guy simply disappear. And slowly whittle down. Last man standing is the next round's Predator. In the unlikely event of a Marine win, the one that landed the killing shot is the next Predator.

wow never heard of predator mode before sounds very cool <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

its very easy to change the mode i beleive just install an older server patch shoudl work fine but ill do some testing.

perhaps will do a run down i.e. next tiem do 1.03 then 1.02 etc.

And yes we will have plenty of admins about, although i am trying to find some of the exploit blocking plugins like the leap one but am running short atm

EPcreep · February 2005

thank you for fixing it for me brys

could not load library c:\program files\steam\steamapps\email\half-life\ns\cl_dlls\client.dll

I get this error the second I open the program.

I installed it while Steam was running. Then I tried running it and I got that error. I restarted Steam and I still got that error. I rebooted the computer and I got the error again.

AlienCow · February 2005

BABBLERS!!!!11

I'm there.

Blue_Mary · February 2005

I got it working.

I never played 1.04(I'm a 2.0x girl), and I want to give it a shot.

read the readme and the help guide, u need to run switch.bat. That error is caused by an in corredt fmod or trying to join a ns 3.0 server in 1.04 mode

I'm there.

SkulkBait · February 2005

Man, I would ahve been there, except that you picked a weekend I was away. Damnit.

Haze · February 2005

If its a huge success can you leave it on 24/7?

possibly it would ahve to be very huge as its generally thought of that having 1.04 al the time isnt/wont be popular as people will eventually get bored of it. but having it once in a while makes it refreshing and entertaining.

But, will see

Sukit · February 2005

Ahh the good old <span style='color:red'>*NUKED.*</span> mode man that alien marine glitch was probably the only one i was so glad to see go. All the rest like no clipping through walls and building outside the map etc Got old with time but while they were still new added great variety to the game.

Man id love to be here for the 1.04 games but im in Australia and im afraid my ping might be a tad to high to play any class other than gorge.

Oh thats right gorges actually were needed in 1.04 so perhaps i can just play gorge and still have fun.

Ill be there !!

Sukit.

DarkFrost · February 2005

If you do a 1.03, can I use the skulk -> marine glitch in the very end game, for funs sake, more to the fact i'd love to see the reaction to it now, as it was taken in humour to most of us back then, nowadays... hummm <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

@ sukit, I don't think you were meant to actually TELL people how to do it, but nevermind :o

Sukit · February 2005

pft sif any of these noobs have any idea what were talking about anway, were talking about a game they have nfi about.

Sukit.

Talesin · February 2005

Bug name removed, for safety's sake if nothing else. I mean, come on Sukit. We're setting up a classic game, and you're reminding people about the old exploits already? Shame.

Church · February 2005

Oh I remember that glitch. I can't remember the exact command to do it, but it was fun when everybody is just messing around. If I rememebred correctly you're alsoa different color?
