Let's have some good holiday fun for the whole family to enjoy.

Rules:

1) No cheating, you must draw a map of an NS2 level from memory.

2) All rooms, names, and RT locations.

3) You might know it like the back of your hand in-game but in actuality you probably suck

I will start with NS2_veil.

Score is rated on a scale of Alzheimer's out of 10. This one is a score of 2. Why did C-12 rotate? Where did the region of "clusterf**k" go?

    And how would I go about factoring the age of map and breaking your one rule to draw NS2 maps, into that equation, hmm?

    That's a paddlin'.

    @Vetinari Your map ain't showing up????

    Here's NS2_Summit, with a far better score of 3.14159:

    I have the layout in mind, just can't think of the room names and the vent layout on right side is hard

    I'm going with ns_hera, it was the map where I first played NS and was yelled at for going Gorge and placing a SC, then people started teaching me stuff and I had a blast. It is of course the original hera, I think...

    Although, I feel like I've mixed up a lot of different versions... But WTF, this is what I've got and how I remember it when first playing 14 years ago \o/
    vxrhe9i9uyu5.jpg

    Yeah, looks like you mixed up some versions. But it really brings up memories. Tbh, I think ns1 gave me a fucking precise 3D memory. In my mind I can still re-run almost all ns1 maps by memory - including all the ambushspots and corners... Now that I think about it ns_orbital_ansl ... ns_nothing, ns_tanith, ns_lost, (ns_stargate xD), ns_ayumi which are not in the ns2_mappool I can still remember almost all details...

    or ns_eclipse was my absolute favorite... developed so many trick-moves as fade to blink like a flash at maximumspeed through the map without using energy and getting stuck through so many tight spaces (which was the hardest part of the fade)


    hah, nostalgia :)

    It's a chatroom with login sessions, so that stuff ain't set to public (anonymous) with default settings, I'd assume.

    Why not use the upload function on the forums right here though :D

    I can't see it now, but when I login to Discord inside the browser I can see it, so it is tied to login session of the discord servers. However this also doesn't seem to be reliable :D

    @Kouji_San I fucked up scaling and didn't even bother about room names but here you go
    48ec2161a6.png
    White line = walls
    Yellow lines = vents
    Red Lines = vent exits
    Red Dots = Techpoints
    Green Dots = RTs

    It's still pretty damn recognizable and to get this look, you must've used DooM's cheat code "iddt" :tongue:

    I did this at work. I use this software to design 2d sketches of rooms and how they flow on my map with a correct scale.
