<div class="IPBDescription">and interesting building locations...</div> Was bored, so I put sv_cheats on in my server and ran around building things in interesting and useful locations. Here's a little bit of what I learned...
ns_bast has the best turret places in the marine base: On top of the light poles, stack around the ring of the support poles, and best of all <span style='color:red'> you can place turrets on the big elevator</span>! Put a line of turrets on, lower the elevator, open the big door, and watch everything on the other side get turned to jello!
Here's another thing I made.
Now you're saying: "WOW THAT'S A LOT OF TURRETS! But wait, the turret factory is right there in the middle! You could just acid rocket it to death and all that money is wasted!"
BUT:
Look up, right next to the resource counter... look closely, it's hard to see... a turret factory! Up there!?
<b>YOU CAN BUILD ON THAT BLUE PIPE!</b> I put a CC in the corner (Above my head) which is damn near impossible to see casually, and since aliens don't have flash lights it'll be neigh impossible to find. You need a jetpack to get up there to build and the pipe is hard to stand on. I also put three siege turrets up there in the corners, making the room a deathtrap.
EDIT: If you want to see the TF, you might want to switch to full-screen browsing, because the white contrasts and makes it hard to see... and just think: You can't find it WITHOUT the turrets shooting!

Unless the marines boost each other up there but that would take so long, I'll just keep building on the ground thx.
I took a snap from the same place...
So bright..it almost looks like A HLDM map <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

hey while your at it admit your cheating aswell the NS gamma adjuster is there for a reason! sure crank up the gamma and loose the entire feel of NS why not just go back and play CS... <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->
And now we're calling adjusting brightness/gamma cheating? Might I say.. lol?
Oh, has anyone tried using the turrets on the elevator to clear out the lower room? I know in some matches, that room will be loaded with aliens.
when you use a CC and then exit you come out exactly where you came in
again, most of these things are either exploits or imposible with out cheats
With as many turrets as there were in that pic, it may take a few tries, but it's VERY do-able to ruin that whole installation unless you get some chap to stand guard by it the whole time.
And changing gamma isn't cheating just because you haven't heard about ********* doesn't mean you have to whine and **obscenity** about it... I won't tell you the name of the PROGRAM you use to change the gamma in ALL games out there - it was NOT just made for HL and I can show you proof if you want too <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

er, FYI Ankan, the brightness/gamma in my screenie has nothing todo with the external program you are talking about. Brightness/gamma that bright is easily achieved through normal Half Life variables.
I've never played using the gamma adjuster thing, I'll give it a go - personally I think it'd be far more enjoyable playing when its dark like in the first pic! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
That's the kind of game where I leave. Noted it's probably not a real game, but the fact that it is possible is sad.
Guess what this means? Infinite RP... guess where you don't get infinite RP? In online games!
In the refinery room you can build turrets up in on some pipes, on others they sink through to the floor. On the exposed pipe with lava flowing across it is the best place for turrets, and the ledge near it can be used for a comm console.

well to be honest i also cant see any other reason why you would have the game so bright, other than....
YOU BIG FAT CHEATER!!!

I'll admit that I also play with the brightness settings as in pic 2. Is it cheating? Well... the thing is ANYONE can and many WILL play NS like that. Why should I turn down the brightness and be at a disadvantage to others that turn up the brightness?
Does it ruin the NS atmosphere, yup it does,... and I'd rather play with the darker settings if everyone was forced to play it like that. But... that just ain't gonna happen. It doesn't just ruin the atmosphere it also makes the game alot uglier.
I don't consider myself as a cheater (cause I know alot of others do, Im sure of it) because I play it like that,... what you should ask yourself is how many use the brighter settings? While you think you're hiding in a dark corner in reality half the players can actually clearly see you. It's stupid to play with dark maps... sadly.
