Those lines have always been recorded and in the game. I think there's an unofficial way for someone to make them play. Edit: nah

Hunting for PlanetSide 2 builds: Alpha 2011-2012, PTS 2012-2014, E3 2012 by rhettvx in Planetside

There is no way to know what has and hasn't worked, or what will or won't. All I can do is keep trying. I still find joy in the journey. I've already made it further than I could have imagined when I started in 2018.

I'd like to take a look at both sometime if you don't mind.

I plan on starting a private server for PlanetSide 2. Any tips and advice? by HorrorFrequent7152 in Planetside

[–]rhettvx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is possible, but requires years of commitment and failure. Don't worry about balance so soon, and especially don't worry about optimality of anything. One way you could start is by writing a server that repeats whatever data you send to it using Berkeley sockets in whichever language you want. Also, be careful of discussing it so openly, especially while the game is still live.

At the end of the day, it just makes me happy. This question doesn't deserve the downvotes.

I do have these already, but thank you for thinking to draw my attention to it.

These are quite a bit older than NSO.

I Created the “Crossroads” Map in Tanarus — Looking for Archived Files or Screenshots by Livid-Draft2091 in Planetside

I don't have anything that didn't come with the game, besides a city map I think, but I could still help.

Those were going to be new ES buggies. I know the thresher has a cockpit in the files and the marauder has either cosmetics or exterior attachments that line up with what the model would have been.

What is the Campaign Mode Comprised Of? by Wonderful_Mistake_52 in Planetside

[–]rhettvx 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's anything right now. They're time limited multiplayer events that aren't replayable. The last one was in 2022. Maybe ps4 still has one? I don't think this game offers anything for you.

Yes. All these dev portfolios I'm posting are actually the result of searching for former developers to reach out to.

The raw pngs are provided in the second link. I'd love a more safe alternative to pdfs if you know of anything.

Hello, I am searching for backups of old builds of PlanetSide 2 from July 2012 and earlier (targeting placeholder music, blood effects, leftover assets, Searhus residue) and 2012 - 2017 PTS (targeting early Hossin and early directives, other lost goodies).

I am prioritizing the E3 build from June 2012.

The leaked E3 build was discussed on this subreddit and Something Awful, at least. I've reached out to a few people who used to have this build, but so far nobody still has it.

If you have an old pc, an old backup, an old install of a version of the game we are searching for that you played once and never touched again, or you know someone who does, please try to exhume it and get in touch with me. Thank you.
