NS 3.0 tommorow (Saturday)

[Varsity]

http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns/

It's finally ready. NS 3.0 (final) will be released to the public on Saturday, March 5th. If you would like to mirror any files after we release, submit your mirrored file here.

Thus, we conclude a long and colorful product cycle with a as we believe very worthy batch of features and updates. For details, read the changelog since NS 3.0 Beta 5.

The development of 3.0 saw a number of personnel changes on the extended team. We'd like to take the opporunity to thank Max "maxwell" McGuire, Spencer "voogru" MacDonald, Tom "ElvenThief" Grim, as well as the trainees, contributors, testers, and other volunteers we worked with during this version's development, including those who had to move on.

We, specifically myself, would also like to thank Greb "Wither" in den Berken and Jim "JazzX" Olson for taking over on managing the Playtester program, as well as Nicolas "Marik_Steele" Winocur for taking the community management position, thus allowing me to concentrate on my role as project manager on the NS team.

Special thanks go to NiteOwl, whom we have to thank for our outstanding new manual (to be released shortly).

NS 3.0 is in many ways an end to an era and marks a reorientation of big parts of our development procedure. As a first marker of this, I'd like to welcome Petter "tankefugl" Roennigen on the team. Petter, an outstanding programmer, and first of a number of trainees to become a full developer, will help us in creating the future of Natural Selection.

It's been a crazy ride so far and we're just getting started. We're glad to have you with us.

No "1337" commander can only handle one map. I'm an average commander myself, I got better tactics than I have speed.

Yup. Only a direct port at first, though. I was hoping for high-poly, fully normal-mapped models and maps - But I guess they'll be doing that eventually.

 

[rpgprog]

my hl1 isn't working at the moment. So direct ports are good for me. I can play the mods again.

 

[Jintor]

Will they ever convert to HL2?

 

[kenyo]

ARG! i don't have hl1!

 

[DiSTuRbEd]

Anyone know what time they will be releasing it today?

 

[Jack Thomas]

Whoopie! Thanks!

 

[Shamrock]

Do we still have to pay for it? I remember a while back I heard it was becoming a Retail game where you actually have to give money to play it.

Dammit! None of the DL links work except one that ended in the middle and corrupted the file

 

[Ames]

Stupid gamma issue with Radeon cards is the only thing holding me back.

I wish the links would actually work and not be slow....

 

[Pilo]

Downloaded it, installed it but it can't find any servers even when I add one I know is a server. Grrrr, I really want to play

 

[guchi]

some pretty cool changes, but the sc is very overpowered, but it had to be done as it pretty much allways went dc -> mc -> sc

I heard somewhere that this is for Source. I played it and its pretty good.

Is this mod coming out for the Source engine? I really want to see it on the Source engine.
