Avatar [OAG] Devnull2569595369Devnull - Fair StartThis mod is designed to give both teams same information about the other teams start location.

It will do this in two ways:
- Changed team message that will be displayed during countdown and at start of round.
- Perform a map ping for the team with other teams start location.

This is Blast to the Past (B2TP)

A vanilla-flavored Natural Selection 2 mod aimed balancing the game 6v6 to 8v8 conditions, the original intended size of public play of ns2, back to the time where 8v8 servers were commonplace.

While stats on ns2panel.com show an almost 50-50 winrate (which is a good thing), in our experience most players have a higher marine than alien hiveskill, a rare 5 sight years ago.

As a consequence, the hive skill system, using the per-team-hiveskills feature that didn't exist back them can simply solve these imbalances by slightly stacking the alien team with better players. This, in turn, creates a 50-50 winrate.
However, if teams were to be sweapped then it would be expected the stronger,team would crush the opposition.

In conclusion, while the game can be 'balanced' for single rounds, it's not truly balanced until a 50-50-ish winrate is achieved after teamswaps.

This mod aims to attack the causes of this, by doing the least amount of changes whenever possible in the most impactful places. Most of these changes revert some values to what were vanilla values years ago, or were present in older or present compmod versions.

Changes are as follows:

**Aliens**

Tunnels cost 5 Tres --was 8
The total cost for a tunnel and 2 PVE is the same as in previous B2TP versions and 6Pres cheaper than vanilla. However, into the lategame this keeps a consistent scaling with more hives, while curbing excesive PvE proliferation in stalemate games.

Lerk Spikes do 11 damage -- was 10
Leap costs 55 energy -- was 45
Boneshield has 600 hp -- was 1000, balanced for 10v10
Vanilla Stomp moved to Bio9 --was 8, completely and utterly broken
Vampirism Affects Exos and was toned down to 3.77% per shell

Aura doesn't reveal health

Cysts take x4 flamable instead of x7 flamable. Build at 6 seconds and get a x1.5 shift hive multiplier (compmod change, since vanilla cysting is broken in normal player counts)
Mature Cyst Health changed to 300 (was 400)
Lerks have 170 hp --was 180

**Marines**

Marines start with 1 IP (vanilla!) but
+5Tres on 7v7
+10Tres on 8v8

This serves as an interpolation between 1IP and no bonuses for 6v6 (vanilla behavior) and +1 IP for the arcade clusterfugg that is 10v10, which is essentially +20 Tres. The only way to give "half an IP" is to give Tres. Giving a straight IP for 8v8 ammounts to nonstop early marine pressure and can snowball easily into marines choking out the aliens.

ARCs are limited to 4 and have 2000 hp -- was 2600

Weapon drop costs normalized: welder drops cost 2 (from 3) and mine drops cost 5 (from 7)

Sentry Battery costs 12 Tres --was 10
Sentry costs 6 Tres --was 5

Marines get Medpack Tech #1 and #2 from S13 compmod:
Default meds: heal 25/25, identical to vanilla
Medtech #1: unlocks in the command station, requires armory. Heal 30/20.
Medtech #2: unlocks in the command station, requires AA and Medtech #1. Heal 40/10
This makes medding scale as the round progresses, since vanilla meds are truly lacking in the end game.

All Weapons (including shotgun, FT, GL) scale by 10% per weapon upgrade instead of 7.84% (?!) (this changes a W3 meatshot from 210 to 221 damage)

Shotgun falloff start changed from 5m to 7.5m, and falloff end distance (where it does 50% damage) changed from 15m to 17.5m (this is half of the compmod change. Vanilla shotguns aren't terrible now. There's a reason the 10v10 meta skips them over entirely for AA)		No13.765 MiBFeb 13, 202523-10-2025 02:56:03

There are multiple maps in this mod and all of them are variants of official maps that address either things that personally frustrate me on the map or what I perceive as balance/gameplay problem.

The maps in this mod are called like the original maps but have "_mmpg" added to the end.

Avatar delnaxsis3530134737ns2_metalns2_metal - A remake of classic natural selection map (ns_metal by quazilin).

"For those of us out there still out there playing this game"

***Summary***
This is my first 'released' map which started as a bsp to level import of the original ns_metal where i decided to play around with the level editor for NS2. Over the course of many hours using and learning the NS2 Editor the map has been modified and updated to suit the functional gameplay within NS2 using gameplay with the bots as a key initial driver.

The map has had a bunch of internal play testing (mostly from the Player vs bots perspective) using the Bishop Bot mod for which vent support has also been added.

***Background***
I did play with the NS2 leveling tools over 10 years ago, but back then rather than getting involved with the map creation scene i assumed that most classic maps would have been remade for this game and it was great to see that many did and some were made into 'offical' released maps.

Looking at the map scene currently there were a few classic maps (metal, agora, bast, lost, nancy, hera, altair, eon, machina, shiva, mineshaft) that were left either unfinished, never started, in the greybox stage/lacking complete detail or some that were so critically close to being finished that it hurts :P (altair).

So with the above in mind my aim was to try and bring this classic map (ns_metal) into NS2 to allow me to play rounds with my mates and the existing bot mods (bishop/bot maintenance) for nostagia purposes.

This was originally just going to be for private hosting however as noted above, during level development i've opted to release this out for others to experience and provide feedback rather than the map site on my harddrive for years.

***Original Author and Credits***
All credits go to the original map author Quazilin

Quote from the Original Author on the Steam Forums - "Hi, too long has metal been on my hdd unfinished and cos of lack of time it is still unfinished. Here is the file if you want to take a look of it or do a own version of it be free to do so" - Quazilin (June 2016)

I did find the work in progress upload of quazilin's ns2_metal on the NS2 forums, which did inspired some of the layout changes to the map i've upload.

As above all Credit goes to the original map author of ns_metal, quazilin and anyone else on the NS1 dev team. Quazilin, who was recreating his map for NS2 but later ceased development after 2016.

So quazilin if your still out there looking back as this old but great game, thanks for the original ns_metal map which i spent many countless hours in while playing natural selection 1 in my youth.

Feel free to reach out if you have any issues/suggestions with me posting this remake of ns2_metal up.

***Details***
As noted above, there have been some changes to the original ns_metal map layout (mainly new areas) which were made to support gameplay with bots and the fact that the original ns_metal map contained multiple elevators which are not present in natural selection 2.

I'm open to feedback if people would like to see a more classic version of ns2_metal released with those 2/3 areas removed.

New Areas Added
-Add 'Depot' Area between Heating Room and Fluid Processing
-Added 'Recieving' Area between with res node between Cooling Sys and Cooling Storage
-Added Alternate Path from the left of lower Storage D to the upper area.

Areas Changed/Updated
-Map now has 12 resources nodes (original map was 10)
-Added a res nodes to Fluid Processing and Recieving (new area)
-There is a a connecting hallway between Storage D and Heating Room. (no longer just a vent like it was in the original)
-Moved the Hive location in Cooling Processing
-Modified Vent between Cooling Sys and Supply Way with exit now near Sector F
-Added Vent between Cooling Sys and Recieving
-Layout of Storage D was modified and alternative path added

***Current Status of Map***
Please note this map is in a 'beta' stage, and with this being my first map there might be some bugs or things that i might have missed.

If reported i'll fix major issues or bugs and at some point i'll run through and do another 'full detail' pass of the whole map and also update detail in the vents which has been left very basic.

Gameplay wise the balance between aliens/marines on this map is probally wild (not sure which side it favours but i've had alot fun with bots (the Bishop mod) running around on it. Overall it's been great fun to revisit this old classic map within the gameplay of the NS2 engine.

***Future Project(s)***
I've had a few thoughts about creating another map based on a classic ns1 map that either hasn't been finished or updated in while such as lost/hera,eon or nancy but those maps have had at least some love.

I've ended up deciding that the next map that i would look at bringing to NS2 is a lesser known map (ns_agora) which was in one of the natural selection 3.0x beta releasess but later removed due to 'balance' issues.

I did realy enjoy playing that map back when it was around, as i liked it's theme and layout so i intend to bring that map to NS2 now that i've had a few hundred hours of experience using the Editor.

Additionally i might also have a look at doing a updated version of ns2_hera, but as i've found map creation is very time consuming so this will all be time dependant.

Avatar Joshua-Boo-Boos3577177389Joshua-Boo-Boos AK48This is a new weapon intended to be used in both NS2 and Combat rounds.

The AK-48's features are: 12 damage per bullet at Weapons 0; a 60 round drum magazine and is quiet when shooting.

At the time of upload of this mod there to be my knowledge is not another suppressed weapon for NS2.

The weapon model (aside from the suppressor and partially the drum magazine), gloves, textures and sounds were not made by me.

This weapon is to be assumed not compatible with the CBM mod.

Updates will be made to this mod over time which may include new weapon models based on Weapons level, an Aim Down Sights mode among other things but no promises are provided.		No19.204 MiBSep 29, 202530-09-2025 12:54:08
