    I had forgotten how ridiculously fast fades are.

    This game has a pretty steep learning curve. Or relearning curve.

    Played some of this with F7 last night, just a heads up on commanders, HUD might not show up if you're using a 64 bit OS.

    Good thing I keep Half-Life installed on Steam at all times for just such an occasion.

    Now starting to play. Where are all of you?

    There's a few of us in the group's chat room right now. It's mostly been idle conversation rather than game organizing though.

    No kidding. That's always been an appeal of the game but it's such a brutal double edged sword.

    it's not too bad as a marine, as long as you have a comm that knows what he's doing. If the comm is new, too, the entire team is basically fucked.

    After I get done downloading the mod, I'll be ready to play with you guys and eat faces/shotty aliens. Do we have a special server, or whatever we jump into

    Yes, Evolve On is my way of saying Game On. It fits NS, you see!

    I played this years ago when it first came out but remember almost nothing about it. When I get my new computer I will download this and go get killed.

    Thank you Sinter, that seems to have fixed it! I see that many people in the steam group are playing on the msleeper server which is passworded, and the pw is not the usual.

    Resource towers. If you're an alien, Gorges build them, if you're a marine, the comm places them and you have to build them. They get placed on the big circular vents on the floor that spit white gas.

    Just wanted to give Agoaj a hearty thanks for his gift of Half-Life!

    (yes I did have it, but my retail copy was acting up).

    Cheers!

    The subsequent games were good times ++

    Hey guys, just found this thread! Glad to see people using my server I setup. I primarily set it up for F7Lans the TheVille peeps but you guys are more than welcome to use it whenever you want. We are organizing games usually for around midnight EST any night that people are available, so the server might be full at that time but any other time you guys want to organize a game, then go for it. Here's the server info:
    IP: 63.211.110.63:27015
    Pass: msleeperdotcom

    b_560x95.png

    I will probably be keeping the server up for a few months at most, it is mostly just to pregame NS2 coming out. I would like to make it a public server but I just can't justify spending a bunch of money on a server for a 7 year old mod. Anyway, thanks again to the people who showed up, it was a lot of fun. :)

    I tried joining a few games. The game doesn't run *well* on my machine, even at 640x480. any tips on increasing performance? I'm on a dual core laptop with integrated video.

    Also, when and where are we playing?

    It's so awesome that this thing supports modern resolutions (widescreen!) despite being a mod for an old game.

    But it's kind of weird how almost all servers I see have ping > 200, even though I'm in the East.

    I think Valve patched widescreen support into Half Life 1 a few years after it's release. So thank them, I guess.

    I think we are going to try again for midnight EST but I'm not sure who's going to show up. If you guys want to get your own group together for before then you're more than welcome to use the server.

    Yeah, I've already done that, but thanks.

    The game runs fine when there's not much going on, but turns into a complete slide show during a big firefight. Not sure what I can do to help it. it's playable, but I'm basically useless when there's a lot going on.

    Well, I've tried going from a wireless to a wired connection to no avail. The game still comes to a crawl when there's a lot of stuff going on. Specifically, it seems that when there are a lot of sound effects being played, it gets tripped up, but that's just a guess on my part.

    anyone have any more tips for optimizing HL/NS?

    No brainer but have you updated your audio drivers? What are your audio settings like in-game? Are you running any third party audio managers? I assume you don't have any audio programs in the background like Winamp or VLC or Media Player going.

    Part of the problem is that I bought this laptop on the cheap off CL, and it was a best buy exclusive made for vista. I run XP, but drivers are hard to come by. I have the *only* drivers I could get working for everything installed. There's no updating to the latest version of anything for me.

    I've got it set to low quality audio. No other audio programs or anything else running other than firefox and steam. Closing firefox doesn't help, either.

    It's playable, just not well. I'm happy to play, I'm just useless in a big firefight :)

    Ah I understand, that sucks. Any reason you went back to XP? Have you tried Windows 7? If it was built with Vista in mind you might have more luck on Win7 but that's just a guess.

    So hey Korlash and everyone, yeah let's get a game together. I can get a few people right now, and I have bots that we can enable to fill the ranks on the server if you guys want. I'll be in there, see my post above for server info.

    I am down for a game on today. Are invites still being sent out over the NS Group?

    Also totally pre-ordered the 40$ special edition of NS2. Those guys deserve the extra 20 bucks for the amount of time I put into NS1.

    There's only a gig of ram, and I'm interesting in trying to run anything but XP on it :)

    I can play now too.

    So I joined msleeper's server and...

    1) Within 10 seconds of joining, someone told me to fuck off

    2) Everyone keeps bitching about the commander

    3) Not very many friendly players (natural selection is apparently serious business)

    4) Marines camping their base after having clearly lost the game


    That wasn't so great. :/
