I'll post in this thread when it's OK to play first matches. We are currently looking into a potential hitbox issue with skins. I want to make sure the matches are played without an unfair advantage/disadvantage.

Update to NSL Mod:
Both marines and aliens now have forced default skins only.

Reason for change: Aliens need to have forced skins in order to ensure the correct hitboxes are used for comp play. Also, it's fair/consistent for both sides to have default skins.

We are still looking into latest changes to vanilla game, so please continue to hold off on matches till admins give OK in this thread.

Female or Male forced for marines, because the female has 100% better taunts

^We are looking into having NSL Mod updated to allow for more customization for: Marine models/weapons/shoulder patches. I will provide an update when NSL Mod is updated.

Update: There has been a game mod created that will work with comp mod for the upcoming season. So how it works is:
the new game mod will freeze the ns2 code of build 317. This will make it easier on modders when UWE makes an update to the game that could affect game balance. First we would like to test to make sure the mod is working correctly with comp mod on comp servers before we give the OK to start the season matches. I will continue to provide updates here.

Another Update:
Comp Mod is ready for testing with the new build 317 that needs to be put on Comp Servers. I will be getting in touch with the server owners to have the servers updated. Then people can test comp mod with pcw's/gathers. Let me know any issues or feedback. I want to at least have some pcw's/gathers tested before we give the OK for matches.

Comp servers ready for testing:
NA server
Preda server
Thirsty Onos
Russian server

Just as an update the only thing that's bugged/wrong at this moment is dropping weapons. It's already being fixed

Mod is updated. Issue is still happening. Please hold off on any matches till we get this issue sorted out.

Nsl mod update:
-default alien skins only allowed
-default marine armor, default exos
- you can pick marine male or female model, can pick weapon skin, and shoulder patches should be customizeable.

Let me know if you see anything not working.

Mod should be updated, you can drop weapons now. Let me know if you see any issues with comp mod.

Please delay all matches till the dropped weapon bug is fixed. We will update you when it's fixed.

Everyone is good to start the season.
Please make sure this mod is on all comp servers:
