Leftover Res?

what happens to the res you would normally get when you have over 100 res as an alien?

i know before 2.0, it would go back into a pool divided among the rest of the aliens. does this still happen or has it been changed? it's a question that's sort of been nagging me for the last few days and i'm not sure why :\

    good question, i'm not sure...


    I really don't think a situation with 100 res for a long time occurs in 2.0 becuase of the fast pace

    it gets sent off to the Fast Food Factories before being re-distributed to Store Chains like McDonalds and KFC for use in their 'chicken-based' products =D

    alternatively you could just say it vanishes and gets wasted ^^

    well i only asked because lately i seem to either have quick two minute games or long drawn out games where it's a stalemate with aliens trying to take out the marines who are making a last stand at their base.

    in this situation, you have some onos and various other kharaa lifeforms. i know for sure that today, at least one of the onos had had full res for quite awhile. i was just wondering what happens to the leftover res, because it would really help the other aliens(who seem to have no great end-game push, or at least never the aliens i play with) that left over res would help the rest of the aliens get onos or fades and end it quicker then the 10-15 min stalemate :\

    Its a good question because some guy refused to spend his res to give us overflow, why half screamed at him to spent it, and the other half sat there confused wondering " hey thats a good question. Is there overflow"

    I am failry sure the extra res gained from kills goes to waste, but I think by having full res your share of teh res nodes gets distributed to the other aliens. I do agree that pushing extra kill res to the rest of the team would help eliminate those long end-games, but might be overpowering if this happens mid-game where marines still have a chance.

    Yea, all extra res is dropped.. it would be nice if it was redistrubited though, I can lookat it and see if I can make an amx plugin that does it

    It goes to the Island of Misfit Toys, with the water gun that shoots jam and the train with square wheels...

    In 2.01 there is no overflow. The res is just gone/wasted.

    In 2.1 I *believe* there is. I'm not totally positive so I don't want to see posts like "OMGZ OV3RF10W 1Z T3H B4C|<!!!11". Thanks.

    There should be an overflow IMO. As previous posters stated, it will most likely end the stale mates faster.

    If a few aliens have a 100 res, then the game should be over quickly anyway, I think overflow should be evenly distibuted, if its only 1 guy mid game it would hardly make a difference imo <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Personally I think overflow from one alien should go to the others, but if ALL the aliens on the team have 100 res it should be wasted.

    This suggestion brought to you by alcohol and lack of sleep.

    if i was onos and had 100 res, i'd go on a suicide mission to take down the tf or something.

    IIRC there isn't any overflow ATM but it is to be implemented.

    We're looking for some good, useful, balanced plugins to put on lunixmonster. If someone makes a plugin that makes overflow go to the rest of the team, please tell me.

    I'll work on this plugin <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
    I think I could get this to work

    Edit: I'll get it working in amx, then changing it to adminmod shouldnt be that hard for whoever wants it.. the hardest part will be changing the functions for ns2amx to small :/

    If anyone knows how to capture when a player gets res from small, PM me, or email, or grab me on irc <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
