Test NS server is up an running. I will only have it running when we arrange a game as I can't play CS whist the lan server has people on it. If you want it on at other times ICQ me (see my forum profile for number). I will try and have it up and running each evening this week just as it is the first week so check on HLSW if it's alive.
I advise reading the instructions before hand especially the ways to use resources. It's complex but should be easy to pick up.

I think it would be good 5 a side.
Any suggestions for say a one hour game?
OK, I suggest a one hour game :D
Oh yeah, it has to be either Monday, Tuesday or Friday, cos we have matches on Wednesday and Thursday evenings this week.

i Suggest an evening of NS, me and albert were there for at least 2 hours last night and still came away without hardly a clue what to do. Well i did anyway. :roll:
:lol: Yeah it was a bit tricky. It's a case of RTFM beforehand I think!

After much scouring through source code I have discovered that you can check Albert's server details using the following link - I have added it as a favourite :-)

Hey hey, Alberts a fellow Eclipse ADSl fellow. The service rocks !! 8)
Here is a link for some NS articals some are quite in depth

I've also downloaded it but I think it needs more than a 'whirl'! I tried a game or three online and it is WIERD. Maybe as a marine, ok, but as an alien I couldn't get to grips with it at all. Too much input Stephanie! 8O

I would really hate to see that all get hooked on NS and stop playing CS. Then we would end up in the same position as N42 have.

I seriously doubt that would happen. Have you seen it?

Hi All,
How about a game this Thursday? Everyone can have a look at the tips section BlueBall suggested and we an at least have a clue before hitting the server and (probably lagging out :lol: ) playing.
No way will it even get near CS for me personally but it's nice to keep up to date with these new mods, variety is after all the spice of life, e.g. mix your drinks, change your woman regularly, and change your underwear at least once a month :lol: !
QuoteHow about a game this Thursday?
That would be REAL bad. We have a Ghost match tomorrow at 8.30pm and a Zombie match on Thursday at 9.00pm. :roll:
This was why at the start of the week I suggested that only Monday, Tuesday or Friday would be good. As it is a little too late to organise a 'formal' NS recon for tonight, I would suggest that Friday is the most appropriate target day. Whatever we do NS-wise, it shouldn't interupt or affect the clan's CS matches, so we need to avoid tomorrow and Thursday.
Having said that, I will this evening be playing my normal CS on MH, then installing NS, and then playing a bit on the server if anyone is there......
NS doesn't mean a reduction in my CS time, it's just a reduction in quality time for the missus. :D

Have I seen it? Yes if you refer to the death of CS on N42 and No if you mean the game NS.

I think it is safe for me to summarise by acknowledging positively the latter and negatively to the former, thus easing any tensions that may have existed between the correspondents. :D

No tension at all. I just wasn't sure what he was meaning so I just put down both answers. :D
I know, I found the whole thing amusing and was attempting (apparently very badly) to be humorous. :(

Sorry I can't read :oops: I can't play on Friday as I am working over night, the whole weekend and Monday morning on a network migration :cry: .
I can boot up the server, provide someone with admin access and leave you all to get on with it on Friday :?:
I'd be interested, or we can book a time next week? I don't mind admin'ing if nobody else does it - just as long as someone teaches me the rules, these guides are way too long for me :lol:

I've been looking for a decent admin guide but the official site has been down so couldn't find one. I know enough about HL servers and CS abut nothing specific to NS.
http://www.ns-central.co.uk/ (http://www.ns-central.co.uk/) seems like a good but though.
yeah 5 a side is ok, but if marines dont play with a permanent commander ( ie the marines just pop in and out of the chair whenever they need something) it gets a bit unfair. the aliens cant change roles so quickly so they appear to be a man down at times.
but enough of my whining lets get it on! :D
I think the arrangements for a NS game tonight have fallen apart a bit.
As I'm away working for the next 3 days but will be around all next week, lets postpone it, please.
I can play any evening from Wednesday onwards next week and will be at home to look after the server.
Agreed. Gives me more time to RTFM. :?
Well folks the server is there it works and just needs players.
I will boot it up for one night to try it out. I'm around every day except Friday next week (Lord of the Rings the Two Towers :D ) so suggest a night please 8) .
Any is good for me next week .....perhaps a free day when we have no match ???
oh if you want to read up about NS ....n42 have some nice tips ect on the ns forum
QuoteWell folks the server is there it works and just needs players. I will boot it up for one night to try it out. I'm around every day except Friday next week so suggest a night please 8) .
That means it will have to be Tuesday evening only then. We have matches on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, you are unavailable Friday, so Tuesday is it!
Agreed?

:D fine with me

The server will have a maximum of 16 players as a total of 15 people have shown an interest via the poll a few weeks ago. I don't know how the network will hold up to this but it's only a trial.
Come along and be confused. Or better still, read a guide first. I will be kicking anyone moaning about the game being too complicated because you haven't taken the time to RTFM :lol:.
roger that, me be there.......
Me too. I'll be the one without a clue !!!
....you'll be right next to me then.......never played it before 8O
Now where did I put that bloody manual...... :(

Well I'm going to try to RTFM for a while before I try to run this gosh darned game for the first time........be gentle with me peeps! 8O
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention - if you play NS tonight you have to have amandatory session of PCS afterwards :D

Sorry I was on about Albert's server - I saw Oldie was on it, but I can;t get there... :(
:( sorry guys, failed you all here! I was late and then my missus started giving me hassle. Seemed like a fun game but I'm not much of an admin I'm affraid. :cry:

I enjoyed myself. Frenzy seems to understand the tactical side of the game quite well which prob helped Oldie and I and consequently made it tough for TL and you. If we could get a couple of guys who know the game (one on each team) it could be quite a hoot. I appreciate the time on your server Albert. Thanks m8
I'll echo what BB said. Frenzy made it very easy for us.
Both he and Tutonic play NS regularly so if we could persuade them to both play at the same time it would be a better experience.
Having said that ... I've played as alien before and I hated it. This game should have a Marine vs Marine option IMO.
Cheers BlueBall, I was all geared up earlier in the day with the patches all applied and adminmod installed, then when I tried to join the sever it crashed several times. I disabled adminmod and it worked. So I thought, we'll just play without adminmod running. Then I forgot, I know all the adminmod control commands, but very few of the original half-life ones have stuck in my memory since I learned to set the damn game up on linux. I had also lost my config (had a backup) after the last upgrade which over wrote it.
I can see it being fun when two people of similar knowledge of the game are vs eachother as commanders. Nice try Sheepy, me and TL had a bit of trouble getting the hang of it and your tuition was the only thing that gave us any clue what to do. These damn gun turrests are annoying though.
If you guys still play Natural-Selection. N42 err... TG has a nice server and would like to see some of our DMW Friends. Send me an email and i will get you set up!

i think that NS has died a bit of a death amoung us, although i think tut and frenzy may still play

Thanks for the offer Big B I may just do that in a few months..... Got a lot of study activities on just now so can't really get into too many new games for a bit.
i pop in from time to time but i realy need to figure out the maps ..i just run around following people who are also lost :roll:
Are there any bot programs for this game btw?

thx Big-B ill try it this afternoon....... all i need to do is find how to use it :)
Good games the other night(morning for me) btw on T.G. nice to see it busy...but please tell eternal not to get so upset when i shoot at his head...hehe :wink: Most of the maps were new for me but your members were all a great help in spoon feading me around them :D
LoL yea we had some good games that night..... And if i rember correct you were owning all of us. :D
As far as the bots go, use them for learning the maps, or learning to command, after that they are worthless. You should just come play and learn the maps with your friends... :D
will do m8 ......sorted out the bots.....thx m8.......and ill catch u on the server soon :thumbsup:
