Reserving Idea

Ego

<div class="IPBDescription">its mine all mine!</div> im sure its been thorughly whored a few times, but im more than 60% complete with it, and im reserving it..

ns_myfreakinmap

lol jk, but its a mining facility, well not so much a facility, as a place where once there were workers that mined in the mountain side for erm...stuffs.

but alas, a tsa marine ship was overrun by kharaa in orbit and crashed down into the mining facility.

tsa marines were sent in for a rescue, but no survivers.. instead, the found that all of the mining facility was slaughetered and the kharaa have spread out throught the facility.

why not nuke it?

a civilian outpost is less than 20 miles away from the mines... the kharaa must not be allowed to spread.

Ego

[FACT] - I have to take a poop right now

Ollj

heh.
I already wondered that noone suggested a mining-map for a long time.
you are the 10th or so...

Ego

ollj, your lucky your my idol, otherwise id flame you for even suggesting that im not 100% original

fact is, im going to be done before those people. im to leet!, and everyone knows it. phear me 1337 hax hax hax


Ego

[FACT] - when i was 7 i fell off my bike going really fast down this huge hill, i still have the scars on my kness, wear a helmit

hrm, it seems I'm not the only one doing a below ground facility for their next map. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
WEll, good luck <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

IIRC, NS_Shaft (by Ekaj, currently being tested for possible inclusion in 1.1) includes some cave areas. It's not the only one of the 1.1 maps with rock areas, either.

*bangs head against wall*
Figures, I should have known other people would beat me to the punch, so to speak.
Well, I guess I'm going to rethink ns_downfall then. My idea was an abandoned mining facillity, with caves, machinery, and such...lol, it never pays to try...oh well

Ego

blast you coil! lol, vote against the playtesting maps <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

no prob though, heh, mine totaly differnt <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

so far doesnt even look like a mining facility

more like a sweet crashsite, im thinking of using the NS_nancy ship as part of whats broken down and what not, looks good though <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

[FACT] - ive been up for 2 days straight.. i no longer see color

Ego - by name by nature eh?

As for rock ideas and mining ideas they ARE NOT RARE. I don' even think I have to elaborate on this. They just are not uncommon in idea.

quazilin

When I started my ns mapping(last year or something) I was going to make mining facility with drill hive etc. then I read some forums and found out there were something like 3 other mappers with the same idea <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->

Windelkron

darn I guess I have to redo MY map as well, that featured a crashed spaceship and a kharaa infestation and a civilian town 21 miles away... oh well

Guys, no map will ever be 100% original. Don't scrap your in-production maps just because someone else is making or has made a map that has similar concepts. Go forward with your idea, and make your map the way you want it <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

yeah...i mean, most of the official maps are all set on space stations... <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Ordos

Besides, just look at CS maps... they're all just clones of prodigy lol

Fantasmo

Complete the map.

If it is as good as you think you can do than it doesn't need to be 100% original. Aim for 100% fun is what I say.

hheh ns_intrepid was also a mining facility at first. is now a Asteroid Based Resource Extraction Facility (ABREF, for short). k sounds like a mine still but its very different.

hasnt this been said and corrected before? ns_hera, ns_eclipse, ns_tanith are planetside maps, ns_nancy is a spaceship, and i think ns_bast is aswell, that leaves only ns_nothing as a space station?
