Schrödinger's Katz	629502655	Defense	Working for build 341. Publish_id = 629502655 The Defense mod gameplay and rules This mod is about marines having to survive against several waves of alien bots. Higher waves are more difficult to survive. You can't join the alien team, for balance reasons, but admins can feel free to force move people on it. You will then be able to select your lifeform and "borrow" it from one of the unspawned bot of the current wave. Special 'hell' waves you can vote for Hell waves are special waves intended to provide a special kind of round. They are meant to be much harder, and feed aliens at a much higher rate than the regular ones. All the bonus balance settings (like the extra bullet damage, and the reduced bite damages) are also instantly turned off. Those can be voted for in the menu. Skulk hell wave A wave with only skulks, a lot of them Skulk hell wave (extra hard) Same as the regular skulk hell wave, but with a much higher skulk count and mechanics for skulks to spawn closer to the front line for extra pressure. Lerk hell wave A wave with only lerks. Lerks will fly high before peeking down on open maps so watch out :p Mixed hell wave A remix of wave 10 with slighty more pressure and closer spawn Survival hell wave An infinite, single wave with an ever increasing amount of bots. This wave is working but not fully balanced or tuned out. List of gameplay and QoL changes Weapons Increase rifle ammo count and clip size. Infinite shotgun ammo, along free catpack upon reloading with an increased duration. GL has a secondary fire mod: right click is throwing a pulse nade Pistol has secondary fire mod: flare Axe and rifle melee damages increased to 100 and 70. Misc RFK (Res for kill). With a small part spread around nearby players and assist. Welding rate increased The armory resupply rate is increased, and also weld armor Increasing the amount of sentries allowed for each battery RTs, meds, and ammo packs are automatically dropped around the map. Jetpack fuel slightly buffed Mechanics Doors can be locked and welded, until destroyed Sentries can be picked and redeployed by players Balance changes between low and high player count This boils down to increasing damages for marines and reducing alien damages. It scales from x3 damages to x1 after 13 players on the server. Aliens also do miss more often and use AoE less. Major optimizations in place The mod is using the server idle rate and the tick rate to balance the load sustained by the server and provide a smooth experience for players. Redplugs should not happen outside the last wave or a hell wave with a full server. Late joiners might suffer some lags but that's about it. The mod is using a bare-bone version of hallucinations to move bots along the map and reduce. Those hallucinations are replaced with fully fledges bots once in combat or close to marines. They are as light as a pack of MACs moving on the map and simply following the pathing mesh. To compare with vanilla ns2, "hallucinations" are fully fledged bots and are considered player entities. That's why they are rather heavy. Removing some sounds on crownd areas, like skulk footsteps, jump sound, bite sound if they miss, etc. Reason is when you got 20 skulks making a ladder, the amount of footsteps can become high really quickly and stress the client. Rework of the AI thinking rountine and update tick rates for bots, along with cached pathing queries Adjusting on-the-fly relevancy distance for newly created entities. Ranging between 16m if the server is heavily loaded and 45 if it is fine. Custom maps to play this mod on Works well with the following TOW (Tug-Of-War) maps: ns2_tow_biodome ns2_tow_combi ns2_tow_summit_defense Note: Be sure to pick the map named ns2_tow_summit_2021 in it, the other one is the original with the broken pathing mesh. Along with the following two custom maps, they play out a bit differently and are harder to win: ns2_def_troopers Unlike vanilla or tow maps, you start with a well established base already and a lot of sentries. Be sure to group them up and don't let the aliens in. ns2_kf_farm A remake from a KillingFloor 1 map, with 2 gameplay changes: You do not have the option to command (researches are done automatically): lose the prototype labs, and say goodbye to jetpacks. Aliens also spawn all around the edges of the maps instead of the hive only. You spawn split from each others, evenly, inside the different buildings.

Mephilles	2819367993	Mephs Mapping Playground	This is my mapping playground. 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. Maps currently in the mod: ns2_biodome ns2_caged ns2_descent ns2_docking ns2_eclipse ns2_kodiak ns2_metro ns2_mineshaft ns2_refinery ns2_summit ns2_tanith ns2_tram ns2_tr4m (alternative version of tram) ns2_veil	Map	No	372.704 MiB	Jun 10, 2022	18-10-2025 08:56:29

delnaxsis	3530134737	ns2_metal	ns2_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. *This is delnaxsis signing off... for now*	Map	No	24.741 MiB	Jul 20, 2025	07-10-2025 13:30:33

Joshua-Boo-Boos	3577177389	Joshua-Boo-Boos AK48	This 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.
