Shaggy, we realy do thank you for your kindnes,, that you share your experience with us, but you're just reinventing the wheel. All the 3 threads you've just opened are well know basic stuff, and very well documented at their respective places (Tips and trick and useful stuff, Console commands in Nexuiz wiki, esteel's CTF guide).
Somehow I'm start to get the strange feeling, that this is only
SPAM.

Thanks for that

I wasn't intentended to hurt you, just look around for stuff, and soon you'll find out, that there are lot's of tutorials and documents for the game.
If you'd like to help, it might be a good idea, to translate htem to your local tongue (if it's not german or english :F)
Remember the links, and if a new player asks, just simply point them those
Anway, welcome to the community, your enthusiasm is refreshing

2) BLOW PEOPLE OF THE EDGE

What's wrong with that?
Or do you mean teammates?

shaggy, i would like to invite you to O.U.N.S.. i started it so people like you and me could provide some help for other players. its not the best solution, it loads a bit slow, but its a start.

4m: Maybe you should make your signature more clear.. right now shaggy would have no real clue about what ouns is

On the other hand, taken that shaggy is just overly helpful which is a good thing, when done right.. i take this as a sign that its too hard to find link to all that useful info.. But i think all the stuff except the wiki (its official but not really adverticed as it does not look that professional yet) is in rather good places, in the General Nexuiz forum and the Gamplay forum and mode sticky.. SOO.. how to improve this shaggy????

inprove what ??

and what r u inviting me for that site what do u want me to do with it?

Shaggy, you wanted to post some tips and helpful information. That's good.

However...

Esteel and 4m are saying that the information you are posting is already available in greater detail in two different places :

1- On 4m's wiki page
2- Sticky threads posted at the top of the forum.

So Esteel's conclusion is tthat the information is not presented well enough. He was asking for your feedback in how to better present that information...how to improve it.

Exactly.. i could only have used other words to express what Dokujisan said.
All (or at least most of) that info is already in existance, in this forum (mostly sticky threads and the search function), 4m's OUNS wiki page and the official wiki ( http://alientrap.org/wiki )
Well the most basic read about Nexuiz should be this one: http://forums.alientrap.local/viewtopic.php?t=1344
It contains links to other interesting threads and also explains the most basic stuff..

1 and 2 are the same thing.... as blowing your enemies off the edge is a valid strategy (especially on mentalspace)

3 is just silly as team messages are very useful for coordination attacks and helping your team (as you want people to do according to 6 and 7).

4, 5, 6, and sometimes 7 are all good general rules.


Btw, put a mini CTF guide on my site too (for those too lazy to read esteel's.

TRUER WORDS WERE NEVER SPOKEN!

no xeno i mean dont use team messages when not nessary like having a conversation that any one can see

but you are right some are not valid

Team messages are fine. The problem is when someone spams irrelevant messages, like PeaceBrother adverts.

yea i didnt mean it like the way it is i ment it like your all saying it

I guess he just gets pissed sometimes and therefore posted this...
Many of the newbies don't know even the basics, many need to think before they know if you're on their or on the other team, and therefore, blow you off the E's tower top in face for example, this happens way too often if you have the flag.

Take the flag, and newbies will think you're an enemy...
Then they nex you back the whole way from your tower to the enemie's -_-

but yea, about those team messages, IMHO, at least on public servers, they should be used more often. And the standard "attacking", "defending" binds aren't -that- helpful, I've made some binds for really coordinating attacks yesterday, and must say, even some noobs were able to reply with a simple "ready" and help attacking, it was great

If they work out I might release them - not that they're anything special, but I like it when people use the same binds. They're just "coord. atk on my mark", "... on your mark", a countdown, a "mark!" bind, a "ready", "wait, not ready, wait for -my- mark", and a "sry cannot participate" bind for when you're shot right before the attack

Those team binds are a nice idea but imo they are a bit overkill. http://forums.alientrap.local/viewtopic.php?t=555 There i propose to use 'attacking' and wait a bit till someone responses with 'attacking' or one of the two 'positive' or 'negative' messages. But i can see that its more easy to grasp what those specific messages mean..
