What NS2+ options / settings do you guys use? Have you your view models enabled? Hit sound, transparency map, different sensitivity, swalkmode, so forth :)

i got lölöbimode :), no viewmodels, and different sens between sides :) and ofc Transparency map

Viewmodels are usefull for me, i can't aim shit without

Transparent map, Quake 3 hitsound for real epicness.

Obviously swalkmode on.

viewmodels disabled on aliens, hud with ammo/energy, health around crosshair, custom map colors for entities, fov max for aliens, half for marines, nsl lights, no ambient shit, hitsounds quake3, damagenumbers/points popup changed so i don't think i killed something when it was someone somewhere else killing something i have assisted with. Weapon pickup behavior and maybe few other small things.

- no viewmodel
- different colors on the map
- no ambient sound
- transparency map
- old health & ammo counter
- quake 3 sounds
- different fov between alien and marines
- no particles
- ragdoll = 0
- serversided blood
- nsl lights
- no damage numbers
- no auto-pickup weapon

Oh, serversided blood is new to me! What a nice option.... it's like preventing the game from taunting you after the hitreg soaked up all your bullets :)
Love you mendasp!

What is the utility of the "Max decal lifetime" setting ?

Same question for "decal life time" in the vanilla options ?

You can increase the time before a decal (blood, bullet holes, et.c.) is removed in order to increase visual fidelity. However, decals seem to be client side, so it only works for decals that were made in your vicinity.

The vanilla option lets you turn decals off mostly.

Lol swalk, is there a file that you can c/c for showing all the settings ? :p

No, Alt+TAB :(
Really hoping it helps SOMEONE.

I could easily make it write a file somewhere with all your settings.

Like a .cfg file with listing all the settings as you mentioned? :) Or maybe there is one, havent touched the SteamApps for a while :)

No, I meant a .txt file like what swalk posted. The settings are stored with the other NS2 settings in options.xml in the Steam Cloud folder (which is inside the Steam folder).

A way to load and save complete configurations would be cool so like that save it as a text file then you can read or edit your config file and load it up again

(if every setting has comments in that configtextfile what every setting does it would even help quick editing it)

I think he meant that he could make an output config file, meaning it would only dump the settings into the txt file. The game would NOT read the file and load the settings in game, like what you would recognize from for example the old half life engine configs.

But yeah Mendasp, I think that would still be a pretty good idea. It would make it alot easier to dump your settings to a friend or in scenarios like this topic.

mendasp saves ns2 with autoexecs

Added "plus_export" console command to save the settings to a text file for sharing settings or posting it to a forum, etc.

Nice, thanks Mendasp.

This exploit is not caused by NS2+, it's a bad consistency check by the server, this was fixed in vanilla a few months ago.

Look @ build number on the screens. Screenshots were taken 2 weeks ago

Read my post again.

Edit: To be precise, IN VANILLA (as I said), this was fixed in Build 273 released 2 months ago. The fact that you could repro it after it was addressed there is because the NSL mod didn't apply the same fix until recently so it was still there.
