(Nice update! :D)
Also, I love how you threw the skulk off the screen at the end of the video.
PS: I also don't see an NS2 game icon in Steam, this is causing me constant duress :P
Edit: Nevermind, I was using the Launch Pad from the old NS2 folder.

(Launch launchpad from the Natural Selection 2 folder in the Steam/steamapps/common folder)

The FOV on super wide res's such as 3840x1024 is still fubar'd. Would love to post some screenshots, but can't seem to take any...
Oops?
That sounds like an error, rest it will be fixed in the next release (before 30 days are up!).
One would be particle growth, where the longer it lasts, the bigger it grows, and the second one would be particle lift, just in case you wanted it to lift near the end of the particle's life. (And maybe a physics tick box for if you wanted it to drop onto the ground etc. Could be used for sparks and water droplets.)
EDIT: Oh and particle birth spread, for if you wanted particles to start separated instead of starting from a single point.
Turning off snap doesn't work with rotation.
Looking for sensitivity controls, mouse and keyboard.
Other then that, I'll give it a go soon. <img src="http://www.flamehaus.com/bbs/images/smiles/gabeup.gif" border="0" class="linked-image" />

Beyond just using "Particle Size" (which sets the size range for each new particle), you can control size over time by using the "Particle Size Scale." It's a value multiplied by the initial size of a particle, which you can modify in the curve editor for grow/shrink functionality.
For "lift", you'd want to use "Particle Force." For example setting the Y component to a negative value will make the particles "drop." Again, you can edit this field in the curve editor to apply the force you'd like at a desired time during the effect's life.
Generally speaking, many of the properties are editable over time using the curve editor. Just hit the + next to the Emitter in the list towards the bottom right, then hit the checkbox for individual properties you'd like to edit in the curve window. Clicking on the line that appears will add new points to the curve, which you can drag around.

Argh!!!!
Please fix! Or fix the news post to note that we still have to do this.
Otherwise... AWESOME
I look forward to seeing a bunch of videos' created by the community in the cinematic editor
Let's see what is new :)
1. It is like a mother cat holding her babies.
So may be onos can handle skulks by its jaw.
2. Or onos may able to handle rines by its jaw too and smash them to the wall.
Rag doll of rine may be much more interesting !
3. May be when skulks spawn first they drop like this rag-doll mode
Max u are really mad, MAD MAX !
Great Job, Keep doing what you think ! Great ideas !
I'm curious as well about the decoda asking for a registration key. Other than that time to check out the cinematic editor.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I'm getting this message too. I already had decoda downloaded so I'm wondering if the registration period from that carried over to the steam update version.
Now all I need to know is what the best program for modelling props for NS2 is??
Keep up the good work guys!
I believe introductions are in order?

Those would probably be included in general functions like 'scale parameter over time' for growth and 'apply force in direction' for gravity.
Check to see if there are any of those functions around.
