Avatar twiliteblue2002317130Action NS2 (broken)Action NS2 (7758ef4a) -- a faster paced NS2 mode with balance and quality-of-life changes.

Early game mistakes are less crushing, while late game attacks are far deadlier.

For a full list of changes: https://pastebin.com/7VNaxWwi

Key changes:

Avatar Tik1644462234Captains Mode

Captains Mode


A plugin for Shine.\n\n\n

Features


  • Pick players through an intuitive to use GUI.
  • Ability to hide picked player names, and in consequence the pick order to everyone except the captains. This way your last picked cones won't feel bad.
  • Ignores spectators as an opt-out mechanism.
  • Support for people quitting, joining, going in or out of spectators while in the middle of the pick process, and (hopefully) not breaking it.
\n\n\n

How it works



  1. You and another player enter !captain in the chat.
  2. The GUI opens. Each captain's team is internally assigned to marines or aliens randomly in this step.
  3. You can now start picking players when it's your turn. First turn goes for the captain with the less hiveskill.
  4. If one or N players that were picked quit or go to spectate, the corresponding team captain will be allowed to pick N extra players to compensate in his next turn.
  5. When no more players are remaining and you're done, click ready.
  6. When both captains are ready, all players get force moved to their respective teams and the game countdown starts.
\n\n\nThe process can be cancelled during the pick phase by either of the captains, or if one quits. Also an admin that has Shine permissions (sh_cm_cancel) can issue !cancelcaptains.\n\n\n

Configuration


You need to enable the plugin in either BaseConfig.json or Shine's admin panel. The plugin's config file will be generated at shine/extensions/CaptainsMode.json.\n\n\nAnnouncePlayerNames: true/false (default true)
Show the picked player name to everyone. If false it will still notify that a captain has just picked a player, but without specifying exactly who.\n\n\nShowMarineAlienToCaptains: true/false (default true)
As soon as the pick process starts, each captain's team is randomly assigned to marines or aliens. This option enables showing to the captains which side they will end up in, to better refine their picks in advance. You decide if this is good or bad for match quality.\n\n\nCountdownSeconds: integer (default 60)
How many seconds to launch the game after the captains are ready.\n\n\nPlease report bugs, suggestions and dubious grammar in the comments.\n\n\nMod ID: 6204809A

Sacrifice -- Alien drop a healing orb upon taking (110/93/76) damage and on death, maximum once every 0.8 second.

Healing orb lasts 4 seconds, can be picked up by any alien player to heal for 15 HP.

Up on drop, there is a 0.2 second delay before the orb can be picked up.

Avatar Deck1992245484FreeFormFreeForm - Goals/How it works:
- More time to practice Lerk and Fade during typical rounds.
- Lifeforms are balanced by biomass restrictions.
- There is no cost to go Gorge, Lerk, and Fade - so there is more freedom to the player once you hit the required biomass.
- Since there is more freedom to the player with other lifeforms, Onos (the tank) is now seen more as a game ender or a lifeform aliens receive when they earned a potential winning position.

Changes from Vanilla NS2:

Marine changes:

-Shotgun cost changed to: 15
-Grenade Launcher cost changed to: 15
-Jetpack cost changed to: 10
-Weapon Pickup Time changed to 15 seconds

Alien Changes:

Evolve Change:
-You can now only evolve on infestation

Biomass Restrictions (lifeform will appear in evolve menu):
-Lerk requires biomass 3 - then will show in ("b") menu.
-Fade requires biomass 5 - then will show in ("b") menu.
-Onos: requires biomass 7 - then will show in (b") menu.

P-Res Cost:
-Gorge: P-Res cost changed to 0
-Lerk: P-Res cost changed to 0
-Fade: P-Res cost changed to 0
-Onos: P-res cost changed to 80

Upgrade Cost:
- 5 P-Res cost per upgrade for: Gorge, Lerk, Fade, and Onos
- Skulk upgrades are still free

Skulk Health Changes:
Health = 60 Armor = 10 HealthPerBioMass = 5

Gorge Health Changes:
Health = 115 Armor = 30 HealthPerBioMass = 10
CarapaceArmorFullyUpgradedAmount = 75

Lerk Health Changes:
Health = 60 Armor = 40 HealthPerBioMass = 15, CarapaceArmorFullyUpgradedAmount = 55

Fade Health Changes:
Health = 260 Armor = 30 HealthPerBioMass = 10
CarapaceArmorFullyUpgradedAmount = 60

Regeneration changes:
kCombatTimeOut = 5
kAlienRegenerationPercentage = 0.15
kAlienMinRegeneration = 20
kAlienMaxRegeneration = 90

Metabolize Changes:
-First Level of Metabolize: biomass 4. Still requires research.
-Fade Metabolize Health Upgrade (Advanced Metab): changed to biomass 7. Still requires research.

Umbra:
-Biomass 3

Onos Charge
- At biomass 7

Gestate Times:
-Gorge: changed to 10 seconds
-Lerk: changed to 10seconds
-Fade: changed to 20 seconds
-Onos: changed to 30 seconds

Known Issues/Things to look at:
*May add a small cost to go Fade.
*Vanilla Umbra may be too strong at biomass 3, will review.
* Upgrades on skulk are free. Not an issue but a consideration. One time purchase upgrades for skulk are an option.
* Lifeform Health and other variables including hp per biomass may need to be adjusted to balance free lifeforms.
* Lifeform icons should show on the tech tree when pressing J.

Redesigned cloaking shader to be more visible at close range. (Thanks Nin!)

Upon declocking from taking damage, cloaked alien units briefly gain improved invisible for 0.5 second.

Changed alien cloaking effect to be completely invisible when stationary at long distance (12m). Sneaking aliens are totaly invisible at 18-24m range.

Cloak now has 5 levels. Each Camouflage level gives +1, Shade gives +1 and Ink Cloud gives +5.

Each additional level of camouflage increases effective range by 16%.

Camouflage evolution decreases the cloaking delay after decloaking.

Increased cloaking delay after decloaking from 2.5 to 4.0/3.0/2.4/2.0 seconds (lvl 1/2/3/3+shade).

Cloaked aliens moving at slow speeds (<75% max) count as fully cloaked and no longer show up on marine minimap.

Ink Cloud protected aliens and structures count as fully cloaked.

Ink Cloud now removes the Detected status from aliens in the cloud and allows aliens inside to remain partially cloaked.

Clinging Babblers spawning from a Gorge start as cloaked.
Cloaked aliens that are stationary are no longer detected by Observatory.

Observatory can detect and mark Shade cloaked aliens, but no longer prevents cloaking.

Aliens are considered fully cloaked are ignored by Sentries, such as when sneaking.

Slowed the decloaking process from 0.25 second to 1 second to make cloaking effect more resilient against stray bullets.

Lerk max speed for cloak calculation purpose is now 9 instead of 13. This allows Lerks to remain fully cloaked when moving on the ground.

Detected status duration reduced from 3.0 seconds to 0.7 second.		Must be run on Server, Gameplay TweakNo109.94 KiBMar 21, 201812-02-2020 11:58:37

Sprinting reworked:
-Time to reach maximum sprinting speed reduced from 1.5 to 0.6 second. Sprint can be used as a short term evasive move.
-Weapon weights have been adjusted (increased) to allow marine to sprint faster with Axe. Stowed weapon weight reduced from 70% to 50%.-Jetpack lift adjusted.
-Mine and Hand Grenade weight reduced. Pistol weight increased from 0 to 0.02.

-Ground acceleration reduced by 40% and friction reduced by 27% while sprinting, so direction changes are a little more predictable.
-Sprinting gains greater speed from Catpack (increased from 1.125 to 1.725)
