I've read 3 ns mapping guides so far for NS and reading more.Sorry for going on with this but I have no bad intentions in mind,just learning.OR get some help from the Author himself <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->,Oh and where would I find this NSTR? Actually to tell ya the truth I allready have 25 sniper rifle models drawnout.And no I never mapped before.I think I would have a hard time with quake,doom etc. so I'm going for the big stuff first,or like ya said start low then work my way up to the big stuff.I allready have ValveHammer.
I have alot of stuff drawnout allready,all I need is the tools to do it.

Look friend, most of what you suggest tend to go against the general atmosphere of NS. I'm pretty sure you can write up your own plugins and even go so far as to make custom models and maps, but I dont think any of it will ever be official.
For mapping (Entities and such) look in your NS directory for the NS.fgd file. Learn some coding and how plugins work and I'm sure that in a few months you'll have a minimod of NS that you can be proud of. After that it's the fight for distribution and hosting on real servers, but best of luck to you...
You see, he was trying to explain to us how...
Well, he was basically showing that if we just...
What the hell WAS he talking about?
<b>No cheats for the source guys,what I had in mind after reading about mapping,n stuff was thinking about doing some experimental stuff like drawing up all kinds of weapons,such as sniper rifles,BFG9000 type stuff,dual guns,camoflouge for rines like darker green or light green armor to say like hide in alien infested hive rooms,such as with the cloaking ability for aliens.</b>
Translation: I want to modify NS with new/different weapons and models
<b>Basically just mess around like I said experimental type stuff,have fun n make all kinds of NS versions,But for personal exploration into the top notch gaming and mapping thing,then maybe get some screenies and send them to the Main Man Flayra to see what he thinks or etc.</b>
Translation: He is (probably) fascinated at how NS can be so uber and wishes to add to it's uberness
<b>I've read 3 ns mapping guides so far for NS and reading more.Sorry for going on with this but I have no bad intentions in mind,just learning.OR get some help from the Author himself ,Oh and where would I find this NSTR?</b>
Translation: I'm learning as much as I can about mapping, I dont mean any harm (possibly from previous posts or to clarify his position due to earlier flames), I just want to become more "Active" in the modding community, maybe even attract the attention of the almighty Flayra himself.
<b>Actually to tell ya the truth I allready have 25 sniper rifle models drawnout.And no I never mapped before.I think I would have a hard time with quake,doom etc. so I'm going for the big stuff first,or like ya said start low then work my way up to the big stuff.I allready have ValveHammer.</b>
Translation: I have 25 concept drawings of Sniper rifles that I think would look nice in the game. No, I havent mapped before, I think that mapping for quake or doom would be too difficult to learn so I'm going to try the hardest stuff first (mapping for NS) but maybe I'll try the easier stuff first like someone previously mentioned and work my way up. I also have Valve Hammer and am eager to learn.
Thusly, I concluded that he wishes to introduce his own unique flavour of NS. He appears to be fairly new to the community, so he needs our support, not our flames at the present moment (such as, pointing him to the FAQ's, welcoming him into the community, giving proper consideration to his ideas etc)
Still, you can't help but laugh at those pictures! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
However I doubt that the Jerks that make up the NS community would accept modifications to NS.
Welcome to the NS community, MrSNEAKY!
As for providing the source, I doubt that's possible, but you need to talk to Flayra about that, not us <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
As for your weapons ideas, I think you should probably look at the <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=5&t=739' target='_blank'>Suggestions and Ideas FAQ</a>. You'll find that most of the weapons you suggest aren't ever going to get into NS.
If you've never mapped before I would suggest you start with something easier, such as an HLDM map. Also, if you're inexperienced, <a href='http://www.valve-erc.com' target='_blank'>The Valve Erc</a> is a good place to check out.
And you -do- realise that you don't need the source code to map, don't you?
There was already a topic where he mentioned this. There was some helpful advice posted and then the topic was locked.
you have made two posts on this subject, and you sound extremely eager to show your creativity, however you do not seem to have a clue as to what you are doing, or from what i can see what you are saying.
here is a basic translation for those of you confused:
"hello, i am wondering if i can have the source code, because i want to show my creative talent and make some cool things, like "enter weapon name here" and "enter model name here" i have read 3 tutorials so i know exactly how to do everything and its going to be really easy because i have drawn everything out on paper."
1.) you dont need any source code, and wont be getting one. ever.
2.) some of the items you have mentioned are...lets say, not liked very much.
3.) while it is nice for you to happily scribble away your ideas on paper, its going to be difficult when you get the program(s) to actually make the stuff. for instance, in your mapping thread you provided a list of about 20 maps that you were planning to make. It has taken Nemesis Zero about 20 months to make one very good map. So my theory is that you have alot of work to do, or you are going to litter the mapping forum with "fun" maps.
sorry if i sound angry, i am just making you see sense, i swear. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
And if hes looking for source codes, thats somewhat of a high end type thing only someone experienced in this field would perhaps tackle. Now someone with that knowledge should be no stranger to decent formation of paragraphs and what not. one lil booboo like that in his source, and it wont work.
2. Give me money plz.
And if you want to have lots of weapons why don´t you minimod a mod that support lots of weapons such as Firearms or CS or something like that? You can make whatever maps and weapons you like without the source.
