Early Screenshots Of Natural Selection?

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!!!)

Zavaro · March 2005

They weren't meant to be smart

aeroripper · March 2005

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.

Merkaba · March 2005

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 ^_^

aeroripper · March 2005

Wow looks good

Swift · March 2005

[me being noob]Merkaba! Any giant new maps you have in the making?[/me being noob]

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!! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /> , note the weapon name "babblerprojectile" <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

I want to be Merkabas heterosexual lover.

xtcmen · March 2005

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.

aeroripper · March 2005

that nuke sounds cool, sounds a litle unfair though.

ReVerthex · March 2005

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!

aeroripper · March 2005

WOAH is there anyway we can still get that marine console in 3.0f?

Wow! Look how fugly that placeholder progress bar was.

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?

Swift · March 2005

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: </div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'>6

Fangs · March 2005

Well this aint that old, back to 1.04

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

Zavaro · March 2005

Hey, I remember that!
And when people were yelling mother over the comm I became confused, and thought they were swearing.. or something

Thaldarin · March 2005

hahahahaha

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

MSPaint and CS with "Resources:" added? :S
Surely that's not NS... :o

coris · March 2005

@Paladin that is AWESOME!

ReVerthex · March 2005

I am so glad NS doesn't look like that!!
What I hate about CS you say? Everything isn't enough.
