    Well see, the thing about playtesting is not 'fixing bugs' but playing the game and saying "This weapon is -way- overpowered because..." or "It would be cooler if this thing would work like instead because..." or things like that. Though more of the first one.

    Also.. playtesters when they do find bugs can help the people that are making the mod/game find the bug.For example saying exactly where and/or what the bug in the game did and how it was triggered ect ect.

    Don't mind Highlander, he's just upset because I made Stevie my ##### in the Flaytona...and Highlander is Stevie's #####, so that makes Highlander even less than a ##### to me. <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

    Just took a look at those screenshots... Nade spamming sounds like something I'd do. Either that or taping a primed grenade to my forehead... :-P

    Jedisar, guess what?

    You're ugly.

    Actually please do pay attention to me, I've got some ideas rolling about in my head.  Only a matter of time before one of them becomes cohesive....  Only a matter of time now....  /me waits

    Guess what... Your ugly too... now lets all forget about this and go poke greedo.
  • XTS_HighlanderXTS_Highlander Join Date: 2002-04-13 Member: 429Members
    Hey! I can poke with the best of them darnit!  I backed steve up during the pokefest that ensued after that catastrophe (for steve, at least) that was Flaytona!  And do I get recognition in your signature?  NO!!!  I feel violated.  

    /me pokes greedo

  • BizarreBizarre Join Date: 2002-02-27 Member: 258Members
    hey..can you change your view point as a commander or its restricted to up-down view? (hahaa this one's not in the faq <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo--> )
  • MoleculorMoleculor Namer-of-Bob Join Date: 2002-01-24 Member: 9Members
    Nope. You're stuck in the top down view.

    You know, you may be the first person ever to suggest the idea of doing an isometric view of sorts... everyone else just focuses on moving the commander higher/lower to get around the level-over-level constraints.
  • BizarreBizarre Join Date: 2002-02-27 Member: 258Members
    it would be great..but wont this hurt r-speeds a little? since the commander can roam in places the normal players cant reach
  • MoleculorMoleculor Namer-of-Bob Join Date: 2002-01-24 Member: 9Members
    Yup, it does. That's why part of the mapping guidelines say to try to limit the amount of 'compression' (rooms/hallways close together) there is.

    Alrite, I'm new here so I'm not sure if this has been proposed before, but how about a class/expierence thing? Get enough kills you can use the better weapons/forms/etc.
    You could use the class thing (or maybe just best scores in a room) to stop noobies/tkers/dumb-people-in-general from being the commander. At least keep people with negative scores from being commander.

    Anyways, I can't wait for this to come out. Good job and good luck with it.

    EDIT: Oops,  I shouldve put this in the Ideas forum, sorry.

    Actually, one of the things that Flayra tends to really crave is something called 'Persistence', or 'What you do in one game affects what you are in other games'. Basically, a rank system, making those with the most wins/kills/points have the highest ranks.

    This isn't going to happen any time soon, and personally, while I think it's cool, it could also ruin the 'Marines don't have scores' thing. There'd have to be severe limitations on it (Such as only games specifically chosen by those on the NS team could count towards this) or otherwise you'd have clans bumping everyone in their clan's scores up.

    thats good thinking man but i think ranking should be out all together

    HL Rally is trying to do something like this, aren't they?
