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.

Mod ID: 2332684940

Notice to server operators:

This mod now requires Shine's basecommands plugin to be loaded.

What is this?

A mod that allows all players to talk to players in their proximity.

There's lots of mods like this on the workshop, although none are as
complete and as bug-free as this.

Features

- Team-only proximity/local voice chat
- Non-team-only proximity/local voice chat
- Proximity voice chat works spectator, dead player, commander, etc., but with restrictions
- Static voice chat bar placement, so that the bar of a player does not move around constantly
- Different color for each voice channel (team-only, non-team-only, global)
- Customization of proximity/local voice chat colors through NS2+ (bottom of HUD menu)

Bugs fixed compared to competitors
- Spectators not being always able to hear proximity/local voice chat when in first person mode

How to use this?

First you have to set your keybindings in Options -> Mods -> Local Talk Extended.
Once you've set your keybindings, you can use proximity/local voice chat
on any server that has this mod enabled.

Voice chat restrictions

Spectators
Spectators can not use local voice.

Commanders
Commanders can only use team-only local voice chat, and can not hear voice chat
from enemies that he can not see either (obviously).
The reason for the team-only restriction is due to technical limitations.		No15.688 KiBDec 24, 202010-12-2022 01:22:25

Avatar <BAD>Nightmare2889179927Nightmare's Original Alien VisionNightmare's Original Alien Vision. Forked from Wraith's remake of my original alien vision from 2017+.

Because ns2+ was integrated in the game and the ability to customize alien vision was removed from the game, Wraith was kind enough to remake it for me. Because he's altered the alien vision to no longer match what my preferences and original alien vision were, I have decided to upload it here. I may experiment with it and make minor adjustments in the future, but I really feel this is the best alien vision for me.		No6.841 KiBNov 16, 202216-11-2022 00:45:18
