GAME DESCRIPTION
=================

The Sentinel mode has been designed as a training for marines, where they can practice the following:
* Practicing the aim (straffing / dodging / leaping bots)
* Practicing target priority (who to shoot first)
* Practicing positioning (placing yourself correctly to defeat skulks when outnumbered)
* Practicing teamwork and covering fire
* Practicing the objective nature of the game (killing has no impact, marines have to focus on the objective to progress)

TYPICAL GAME ROUND AND WIN CONDITIONS
=======================================

Marines start at a randomly choosen techpoint on the map with a minimal base. An advance base is also created with an armory and a phase gate.
Aliens start with several egg nests scattered around the map, and a base containing upgrades.

In order to win marines have to complete 2 objectives:
* Kill all the eggs on the map
* Power and use the phase gate behind the alien lines.\n\n\nGAME DIFFICULTY LEVELS
======================

The gamemode provides 4 setup: Easy, normal, hardcore and suicidal. You can see in which setup the gamemode is running by checking the name of the bots, the top left of your screen or the lighting of powered off rooms. (blue for the easy and normal setup, orange for hardcore and pitch black for suicidal)

EASY (Base AI)
---------------------

This is the default setup when changing map. The bots do not work together, react slowly and often miss multiple bites. They will sometime try to ambush but lack the skill do to so. This setup is basically a warmup and an aim practice. The lights are blue.

NORMAL (Nerfed Hardcore AI)
------------------------------------------

This setup is a bridge between easy and hardcore. The bots will start to work together and will have more combat capabilities. You won't be able to go on your own anymore without decent combat skills. This setup is good enough
to train everything without too much challenge. The lights are blue.

HARDCORE (Full AI version)
---------------------------------------

The hardcore version contains the full content of the AI. Expect aliens to scout, patrol, parasite, bait, retreat, ambush, and pack up massively, the bots react quickly to any threat or sound nearby and can only hardly be beaten with force. For this you will need to outsmart and bait the AI out of the defended eggs to have a chance.

SUICIDAL (Ultra angry AI)
-----------------------------------

This setup is not intended to be played and won. Bots here never miss a bite, they can hear you throw half the map and will never retreat. They will also spawn a lot faster than there hardcore counterpart. For each skulk killed, an egg is spawned closer to the marine base to increase even more the pressure. If that was not enough already most of the skulks are enzymed, they will use xenocide and have a chance do drop an umbra+sport cloud upon death.

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:


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.
