I suppose I did justice to this map seeing as this was recorded in December of 2015, so in reality we celebrated this maps 10 year anniversary.

Granted I made plenty of revisions to the map to make it work with that specific version of NS2Siege which few realize. Other than that....


Armory Walls, "Red Plug" statement from SlickWillie, and marine commander in general. This map looks good with ns2ish lighting compared to ns1ish bland lighting, too.


Oh and Fire Bullets.... leveled armorys (Though broken at the time without knowing it :P ((Incorrect health values??)) )

This version also had shitty marine base power node placement (This version had power controlling structure functionality which was removed sometime after)).

This version also had 100% chance of giving marine medpack for 1 res when requesting it, hence the medpack spam. Didnt effect commander notification at all.


So the TL;DR or the GIST of it is this:
The ability of running an open source lua game as an administrator means the ability to write in gameplay mechanics, and choose to play with the mechanics knowing fully well how it works, regardless if others do. The trick is to make these changes "sub concious" in that having them direct the game without knowing these things take place.

Make sense? if not, just think of it like this: As a player, If you have to take your time and learn how the game works, rather than just adapt and play on the go, then there's something wrong with the game, no?

My conclusions are this: players want to play. Players not want to think, nor communicate. Players just want to shut everything out. Forget about the day. Tune into something that takes them away.

for the longest time my own payment was being able to play my writings in the company of others. The trade for spending the hours learning how to write and implement said thing and bring people to play it. That's almost payment itself.

I suppose that managing NS2siege had its charm, although I did have poor scheduling hours often working 12-18 hour days and sleeping for less than a healthy amount to keep up with the tasks. This map specifically had its first version birthed from a late session such as that.

Filled with nostalgic tears for the ability to be able to create this and honor my ns1 siege memories with this new batch of ns2 players ;)

Note to self:Funny how with the AutoOP system I accepted new payment such as to pay my medical bills. that was when my intention shifted to wanting to write my intention of playing this game into its own automatic, dynamic, and interactive system for others to enjoy. As siege is only a script, a formula, that must be played exactly in the right order from start to finish in order for all to climax!

But.. once again.. As of typing this 3.11, and ever since 3.2, I had quit NS2Siege.. which meant cancelling payments, uninistalling every program and going cold turkey. How pitiful.

Donate @ kyleabent@gmail.com or dont but I had to put this here anyway. I hadn't exactly thought everything through yet. However, I still may have access to the free server. I suppose I just have some business to take care of at the moment.
