It's finally official. The NS team will be releasing a new mapper's technology build in 24 hours! Once again, this build is for mapper's only, and contains nothing fun at all. This is not a playable version of NS. However, it does contain lots of essential tools for community mappers who are working on Natral Selection, including the long-awaited Commander Mode v2.0. This build contains lots of new stuff, including:

Easy-to-use, more efficient, Commander Mode v2.0 New env_fog entity Updated particle editing (compatibility fixes) Updated mapping guidelines and NS mapping documentation New func_resource entity (docs to come shortly) New and updated sample maps Merl's NS map tools based off of ZHLT Half-life Protocol 3.0 Hull support Select artwork for checking map dimensions

The file size is 35 megs. Check back Monday the 24th, 9pm EST for the link.
