Nice leak, I wonder what the nymph does.

[vartaxe]

theyre no more using source engine. source engine is good but this one theyre building looks very good too! and as for the tools they look much better!

[brandon9271]

Its WAY more advanced than source.. Source uses light maps but Spark has real time lighting on all surfaces. I'm not a game engine guru but I would say its more akin to Unreal Engine 3 than Source. I still think Source is just a higher res Quake engine with normal maps and physics.. but what do I know ;D

[cssima]

@vartaxe The engine is a lot better too.

The version of the source engine valve lets us mod properly has pretty boring features to todays standards.

[ke4323]

I can't wait to mod with this new engine, looks great

[nanutek]

Is Natural Selection 2 engine a high modified source engine?

[cssima]

I believe it's a proprietary engine, since the Source engine is not open-source, I don't know exactly how much of the Source code you get from the Source engine. But I'm pretty sure this would be beyond what you'd be able to do with the supplied source-code provided.

[nanutek]

Take a look to the videos, it uses VTFs.

Also, the tool 'Create a mod' in Source SDK can drop the Source engine (Better said, the HL2 engine) source code so it's supossed to be open.

[themrfj]

Have anyone else noticed how low down her breasts are?

[norterrible]

yeah its kinda creepy

[themrfj]

Apperently bras don't exist in the future -_-'

[adood101]

they started developing 7 after how much of a flop Vista was. Most people buy Vista because it come pre-installed with most machines on the market, and most people who buy PCs recently arn't computer savy, otherwise im sure they'd go with XP too.

XP is the most used OS across the globe, in the business industry and in peoples homes, making it the most commonly used OS out there, even more than Vista.

I'm sure they use Vista for their tools (and game) because of DX10.

[adood101]

Actually Mac is prolly used more, but i don't use Macs nor really care about how they're doing.

So XP is prolly the most used Windows OS...

[RockTheWhite]

mobile siege cannon = SEXY SHIT

[evilbirthdaycake]

Wouldnt it have sucked if those red letters saved over the original textures?

[LeSethX]

Yes, but it was also a .psd file, which has layer images, so that red M could have been in it's own layer and thus easily fixed.

[evilbirthdaycake]

oh lol, well i guess theyre way past this part of the game anyway lol

[KelseyMFJohnson]

Heh, I'm sure they back their files up more than we could possibly imagine.

[sm0kie420]

Back when NS first came out, server mods actually banned people for bunnyhopping!! Now it's standard to be a decent player. I wonder if bunnyhop physics are going to be purposely included in this game?

[Farao29]

Bann all the PPLS using Bhop ?? i think thio sis a Go0d idea

[DirtyThumbnail]

i want this model maker....

[tommyjones1978]

its a viewer not a maker....

[adood101]

XP isn't outdated, more people in the world use XP than Shitsta.

[14009529]

Agree, fuck Shitsta

[Tasproductions]

How long has Vista been out?

Now how long has XP been out?

Now how often do normal people get a new computer?

XP is old and outdated. I mean, Windows 7 is almost out.

[Tacotruck1166]

XP Is still the primary OS used and is supported for most every game out there on the pc. It's not going away anytime soon. No need for 64 bit memory hogs just yet.

[Tasproductions]

There's a 32 bit version of Vista, too. And as I was saying before, XP is the primary OS because Vista (and, I suppose, Windows 7) have had a relatively short life span.

[KelseyMFJohnson]

I'm a XP whore, but I recently got 8gb of ram, so I just went Vista, and I hate it =D

[cheesybeebo]

Can't wait till the summer!

[epicwarding]

:P First thing i thout when i saw the female model, was, Wheres the boobs? and then i was like . Doh, ive been playing way too mutch korean mmorpg's, theres no way they would make bigger boobies for the female marines ;P

Gorge Boobies are sexiest!!

[MILKE3560]

I can't wait to use this tool!

[DiFFtY76]

You know, it's just a viewer made for preview models and materials. Like HLMV :)

[MattTreck]

they are using there custom made engine and editor, they arent going to let ANYONE have it

[BEASHTS]

Are you stupid? Of course they are going to let the mod community get their hands on this editor. Why do you think he's showing these tools?

Moron.

[Jmort1213]

what modeling program is that?

[pnpublic]

They are using 3Ds Max

[ultramonster]

impressive,

but why are they using vista?

[MeetEliteOne]

Because XP is old and outdated.

[tommyjones1978]

ok, the female is not like a female, is tin ok but inst like a female...

[froggles176]

I gotta get my hands on this!

[dampy02]

Cool video. I can't wait to see more.

[PocketDrummer]

OMG, use a pop filter or something. You're making my sub thump with your voice. VERY distracting... I can hardly focus on what you're even saying.

[JungleFish]

omg this game is taking forever

[HatlabuFarkas]

hey MAX? we are the Hungarian Gaming community, we ahe READ all time the RSS FEED on Mobile phones about your job. :D we cant wait for play NS2 on steam with team mates :D

[kouji82]

Good stuff! Check yar forums for a small suggestion of mine as well ;)

[kaneforrester]

Looking at the file structure being used it looks like youve taken the Valve Source SDK tools and made them so so so so so so much better.

If possible could someone reply to answer this question:

Will you be releasing these SDK tools to the mod community... soon :)

And also is it possible to build maps for say team fortress 2 in your map editor? My god im so sick of vvis and vrad that my interest in mapping for source would be rekindled if I were able to use your map editor.

Thanks

[ZemogTorrents]

You guys are working great, and you're working hard. Keep it up!

[visselke]

Love the work you guys are producing!

Are there plans to release these tools to the community when the game ships?

[DooGie17]

I hope I can choose wether use the male marine or the female one, because I LOVE the girl. It's gonna be so pro when I get spawncamp being a girl yohoo!

[dangerousness]

so, are you all using pirated versions of photosshop and 3dsmax or have you somehow come to a licensing agreement with adobe and autodesk? or is your whole development team incrediby rich? :P

[ortzinator]

you understand that this isn't a mod? they have investors

[kaneforrester]

investors and loans :P

I doubt a company looking to release things at retail would dare to use pirated software and secondly they only have 4 people working on site on this game. So its not like they need that many licenses.

[TerraGamerX]

Wow, looks like you guys are working hard to make this easy on yourselves ... as weird as that sounds.

[BudaTomu]

better sound :p

[turbis]

Is it just me or is the video choppy?

[kaneforrester]

nope its fine, if your watching in ghd and have a slow computer it will look choppy.

[McRed]

Every time you guys release one of these development process videos I become more and more confident that Natural Selection is going to be a huge hit - Keep up the amazing work!

[idurox]

Nice, video these tools should speed up the development process nicely.

I wonder what the nymph sub-directory in alien is for.

[FreshmanThesis]

You guys are doing great work; you should be proud. It's amazing that you're making all these quality models and such an awesome engine from scratch. Keep it up! :D

[rodrigoayanami]

i must say that this will be a real nice game, it deservers some hype.

[Prize5]

*forget*

i hope the "jerking/lag?" is by that record tool you use, because the run animation of the female marine looks very "scary" O.o

[lazyboyselector]

Nice work!!!

[Prize5]

man i hope its so good like ns1 was and not so bad like the ut engine, more the source engine.

your engine looks good but its remind me more to ut then hl2 ;)

great work UWE

[TigersmithGU]

woah thats soo sick guys

[REDxFROG]

hot engine. =)

[ezjamin]

The animation blending is sweeeet..

Looks as though this will be fun and easy to mod.

[AzuiSleet]

Holy shit, this owns HLMV

[kaneforrester]

agreed

[ppairan]

Wow. Looks nice!

[MattyLomax]

First! Keep it coming guys I want NS source!

[akira357]
