Hive Build Time

<div class="IPBDescription">sprite replacement</div> Hi!
The Ares-Clan has released a tool for showing how long a hive being built still takes to finish. There is also a percentage display above the hive symbol in the upper right corner. It is NOT a cheat, it's just a simpe replacement for the hiveinfo-sprites. Just extract the hiveinfo.spr in your \half-life\ns\sprites\ folder.
There are some ingame-screens:

    is it possible to add more pics into this sprite sequence?
  • TacOneTacOne Join Date: 2002-11-05 Member: 7070Members
    You could probably edit the sprites, but I dont think you can make the game show the new frames without changing the code.

    Useful like those marine upgrade numbers on the bottom right corner thing i downloaded many months back

    Nice job man
  • WurmspawnWurmspawn Join Date: 2002-01-24 Member: 19Members
    great idea, should be very helpful
    but could you change the font to look a bit more
    'kharaa-ish', it's far too clean and tsa-like currently
    for my tastes.

    I and Promentheus want to make a sprite pack with more usefull replacements like this an. If any Body have some new idees than say it, and we try to make it.

    And yeah, we want to try the kharaa font looks more kharaa ^^. I do what i can <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Without a plugins it is inpossble to add more frames, but if somebody know how to code metamod plugins, com'on and do it <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Even metamod can't help you here: sprite drawing is handled completely by the client, and metamod can only modify server-side stuff.

    Metamod can add a realtime Hivestatus thats over the hive sprite, I think thats possible.

    I believe it said somewhere in one of the changelogs that they fixed it so the sound plays. It said something about how it plays rarely, but I've played the game for a long time and have never heard it. It does however play the sound if you start up a lan game and type spawnhive with sv_cheats on.
