Our latest build continues on the path of refinement and stability, and although small there are some nice changes in this patch. Those of you with antivirus woes when opening NS2 should no longer have an issue as all our windows binaries are digitally signed and secure. As stated in the blog post earlier this week, we increased the size of the melee attack on both the skulk and fade and this change is no longer an extension but part of the vanilla code. We have also decided to slightly bump up skulk HP requiring an additional 2 bullets to make contact.

Behind the scenes we are continuing our work on HIVE 2, which is coming along nicely and should see the public soon! Meanwhile FSFOD has not wasted any time on his upgrade of LUAJit and we will be beta testing those changes starting next week. We are very excited to get some of these new features out into the public, but for now, enjoy the update!

Update 306 Details:

Tweaks / Improvements

• All Windows binaries are now digitally signed, which should make AV & Security programs consider NS2 as a validated program. There are some AV programs that will not take this into consideration however (such as Avast Hardened-mode enabled).
• Warmup Mode Improvements
  • Enemies will slowly take damage while in the other team’s spawn location and will receive a notification to retreat
  • Bots will no longer buy tech or evolve, to prevent overwhelming the enemy team with Onos
• Filler bots will be disabled for listen servers
• Disabled many rookie-only checks in listen servers
• Boosted Skulk starting health by 15hp to 85/10
• Size of Skulk melee has been increased to 1.2, 1.2 (was 0.7, 1)
• Size of Fade melee has increased vertically to 0.7,1.2 (was 0.7,1)

Fixes

• Fixed that filler bots stayed longer in the teams than they should which could lead to uneven teams
• The player list now updates properly in the server details window
• Mod names now update properly in the server details window
• Fixed that the sv_forceeventeams command wasn’t working
• Fixed that the “start commanding” text showed up at unbuild hives (thanks NoM)
• Fixed that commander dropped weapons caused phantom item bubbles

SDK

• Texture lock has been further improved.
• Added a new command to the model compiler, “material_path_replace”.  See model tools manual for details.  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ELyjisMUh6TCDubkp5IZTC7SsVrx41j-OdHpHPs4_uU/edit?usp=sharing

It’s been two weeks since our last update, be honest you missed us! Moving to this model has allowed for us to make some much needed changes to our way of implementing and testing changes to the game. This update may seem light, but it has some good fixes and more enhancements to our server browser including a friends filter. This filter will allow you see what servers your steam friends are playing on and get you connected to them.

One of the new additions I mentioned above is “Playtest with the Dev’s,” a weekly opportunity to jump into the beta of next update and play a series of games and give your feedback on the upcoming changes. We strive to make changes that have a positive impact on the community and next to our discord or forums this is a nice direct interface for the players and devs to communicate.

Our newly implemented feedback system has given us some nice results over the last couple weeks. The most selected option for lower rated rounds was “Uneven Teams” and for newer players was “Inexperienced Commander.” To attack these issues we have begun work on a set of new features, the first being a long needed update of our backend Player Skill tracking system HIVE. Hive 2.0 will go a long way towards helping us resolve some old internal bugs, and add some much needed speed to the communication between servers and the database. The second feature is our continued expansion on the tutorials available to players. A new Commander Tutorial is being drafted and developed to give players a better grasp on commanding a team for both Aliens and Marines.

These two features are only the beginning of our Phase 3 plans. We will be starting a new series of QA videos on our YouTube channel to better explain and show off upcoming development on NS2. There will be another blog post next week going into more details on how you can submit questions and feedback for us to talk about in our series.

See the full changelog below and happy hunting!

With the summer sale now in full swing, we decided to take a lighter approach to the update this week. Minor tweaks and improvements over last week’s patch should address some of the feedback we heard. Moving forward, we are adjusting our patch cycle to be bi-weekly. This allows us to start tackling some larger features and helps with our testing schedule.

As many of you know and for those of you that don’t, each update to NS2 comes with not just hours of development time but lots of bug and gameplay testing. Our playtesters are community volunteers and give many hours each week so that you can enjoy the fruits of our labors. Our EU Playtest Lead Asraniel has been around since the beginning of time and given so many hours that I couldn’t even begin to list all the many influences and tasks he has helped address. Asraniel is taking a step back to focus on his next step in the world and we wish him nothing but the best in his endeavors. He has left his mark on not just this game but our community as a whole, thank you and good luck!

Happy Summer Marines! We are ushering in the sunshine with update 303. This is a lighter patch focused on some bug fixes and a couple tweaks and additions to the game. With this update we are introducing a new post-round feedback system, this will help provide us with more details about your games and comparing round data to support future changes.

The last six months has seen a lot of changes and experimentation to the game and we aren’t done yet. We are working on developing plans over the next week to continue to build on the new foundation that we’ve created over these last few months. Be on the lookout for some exciting new opportunities and changes to come.

As always, thank you for being part of our community and your continued support of our team.

UPDATE 303 DETAILS

Tweaks / Improvements

• Added a round feedback UI – Help us to improve the game based on your feedback
  • Rate the last round you played
  • Select multiple reasons on feedback based on rating
• Added new Achievement “Arcade Champion”
  • Explore for at least one hour the various community made custom game mode which wait for you in the Arcade section of the server browser:
    • Faded
    • Gun Games
    • Siege
    • Last Stand
    • Defense
    • NS2 Large

• Removed all outdated tip videos in the training menu
• Updates the “VS. Bots” tab of the training menu
• Commander bots can now generally be replaced by entering the command station
• Restored the spawn animation of eggs (broke a long time ago)

• Fixed that the cancel button of the tundra unpack menu wasn’t functional
• Fixed Gorge structures not being destroyed in warmup mode
• Fixed various in-game tooltip descriptions (e.g. power surge, contamination and mines)
• Fixed a bug that would sometimes cause a research button for a commander to permanently disappear — forcing the commander to either let someone else start the research, or return to ready room to reset it.
• Fixed that marine upgrades stayed available after an arms lab has been power surged
• Power nodes no longer play the flinch animation and buzzing sound when they are infested but their armor is gone. However, the lighting in the room will continue to flicker to indicate the power node is infested.

The ENSL.org Newcomers Tourney is starting right now!

Join up the Teamspeak 3 server now!

Teamspeak 3 Server Details:
Address: ensl.org
Teamspeak is avaible for free here

This week is all about fixes and fun! As you will see in the changelog below we have made many adjustments to all of the maps including our newest awesome addition Caged. After the re-introduction of projectile spores last week, we decided to continue and tweak values and it shows progress but will probably still need some adjusting. Flamethrowers also are seeing some love as before they were just heavy lighting effects, now they do some damage.

New this week is the addition of a new pre-game mode called Warm-up. Our testing has shown that players generally avoid seeding servers, but with Warm-Up players can play a simple format of the game with all the tech unlocked and no resources required. As soon as there are 12 or more players, or two Commanders, the game will flip into regular NS2. This mode will no doubt go through some additional changes, however we’ve seen many positives to it even now.

Additionally, we have decided to extend the ABYSS unlock achievement until 10AM PST on Monday, June 13th. For those of you of unfamiliar with this, players that complete 2hrs of gameplay on the new map Caged will unlock the ABYSS skulk skin.

So get in the game and earn one today!
