Maps: How Far?

Lt_Gravity · July 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">mapping progress</div> so guys lets get serious: I want to know how far your maps are. I saw some really great screenshots and some really amazing architecture. but the only thing that is released are "funmaps" that nobody really needs. where are all the promissing projects? cause Im custom hungry and this hunger gets stronger every day...

esuna · July 2003

Right now, i'm at only about 10% through my map, ns_deus (see my sig for the link). But this is 10% of EVERYTHING, mapping, textures, models and music. So it's not going too badly at all really.

No ETA as of yet since i've got a full time job to do and other commitments, so it's not that easy to find time.

Fam · July 2003

Probably at about 90% with ns_thea. I just started work on it again, look for release in August (hopefully). Heres another little teaser of a work in progress room.

Nay · July 2003

about 97% with ns_colony <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

Nemesis_Zero · July 2003

I'm working on a project I must not publish pictures of for various reasons. The feedback I got so far was pretty positive.

DrunkenMonkey · July 2003

I'm very close to finish my first serious ns-map: <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=4&t=37768' target='_blank'>Ns_Ayumi</a>. All main rooms and hallways are built and the things that's left to do are some vents, and some detail work. I'm working on the ready room right now.
But I don't feel there's and meaning of releasing it before 2.0 comes out, so I guess you have to wait a little bit longer. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'> Expect it to be released sometime in August...but I can't promise.

Mendasp · July 2003

I'm almost finished with ns_phobia (RC3), pics at my sig <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

Just take a look at how many map I have to do yet:

I've been working so many time on this map... D:

quazilin · July 2003

Here is ns_metal, still 2 hives missing and some hallways etc. More detail, tweaking....and....lots of work.
Something like 30% now maybe?

KungFuSquirrel · July 2003

Final 2.0 Veil compile was last night, final Nothing 2.0 compile going right now, and starting final Eclipse 2.0 compile immediately afterwards.

Look for them July 31st. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

It'll be a while before I do too much else NS-related, though - I've got Nightwatch and a commercial gig to focus on in for a little while. Things are in the works, though. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

Insane · July 2003

I'm about 80% through Spirit, but I'm taking a bit of a break from it. Look for some new shots soon!

Moconnor · July 2003

I've got about 90% of my level done!
I'm doing a compile at the moment so hopefully
I'll have pics up really really soon. But i probably wont
realease it until 2.0!!!

ChromeAngel · July 2003

NS_Gammu is a serious NS map and has reached a playable state, probably 80% finished. I can't post any pics for the same reason as Nem Zee.

NS_Justice is also a serious NS map, it's layout complete but I have't put in any details yet, so there's nothing to show you.

You can now show the completeness %age of your map on NS World. If enough mappers do this I will add completeness to the map listings pages.

blueman · July 2003

ns_mystic is 95%, main arquitecture is done and only needs some polish and maybe updating old strcutures.

Im testing a new lighting throughout all the map as i was told that light in Mystic sucked a bit. I think there is no point in releasing maps now as v2.0 is so near itll be stupid to then make a new build of the map just to fix the new gameplay.

about ns_angel...im like Chrome and Nem, cant post any shots right now, and map is 20% maybe.

EDIT: Fam that pic is SEXY.

Nay · July 2003

nice thread this <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'> i like seeing decent maps for once

SjN · July 2003

<span style='color:white'>***EDITED - No funmaps, proper maps only***</span>

*edit* btw, how do you make that map thing(*picture*)? (the ones quazilin and Mendasp posted)

The_Real_Quasar · July 2003

Ns senria is going to be out within 10 years, promise!
Work progresses.

Mouse · July 2003

Hydrosity 1.0 - Complete
Hydrosity 2.0 - 95%
Valley Forge - 12%
Frigid - 7%
Attrition - 1%

Lt_Gravity · July 2003

RPG_Jssmfulhud · July 2003

Well, I've been working on my NS_Deep for quiet some time, but work has stalled now, I'm afraid... I'll have to concentrate and get my energy back. Would love to post screenshots, but the compiling time is eating me alive... Can't even get myself to press the compile button... Would take a day... <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'>

Anyway, the map is about 75% done, if anybody cares...

I just felt like posting the progress of my map.
well, maybe it's a fun map. but, it's also serious <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

Insane · July 2003

Nothing to see here.

KungFuDiscoMonkey · July 2003

NS_Altair about 35-40% complete. I have a bit more than 1/3 of the archetechture done and some detail work. Working on adding more routs, vents, and weldables.

Check the Mapping Forum FAQ, attachment in the third post -- those pictures are dev overviews normally used for HLTV.

I haven't worked on my NS map in a month or so (it's in a holding pattern while I work on the new tools). It's currently around 40% finished.

You guys have the 2.0 new textures hmm ? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

My map is about 30% done (layout is finished, all rooms are there, basic lightning, almost no details yet). I can't post screenshots cause i don't want to post crap.
Just to say there is another serious map growing here, in a year or two i may be releasing it <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif'>

Lt_Gravity · July 2003

WHO CHANGES MY THREAT??? FAM? WTH...

never played the map, hm?
I take this for an personal attack at my person <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'>

@blueman: do you now know what causes your maps to crash on some machines? I will try it again... plz fix it because the screenshots look NICE!!!
ok guys I will give you a deadline. in one week all your maps are at least in beta stage! or I will <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'> some buts off!

just kidding <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>
but I start feeling to cry because all the cool maps take so terrible long.

oOTOo · July 2003

NS_Subway (temp name) is 80% finished.

RR: 100%
CC: 100%
2/3 hives: 100%.

Mainly NS.wad textures at the moment + some customs in a close future.

Moose · July 2003

ns_Reactor 70% completed.
ns_Rust 50% completed.

DFA_Haplo · July 2003

ns_tempku 50% . I lost some motivation because the "post your screenshots thread" died out for awhile. So until the creative juices start flowing again...

I really want to have it done before 2.0 , because once 2.0 is released Im probably scrap tempku and start all over again with the great new textures. I mean who's gonna want to look at an out dated map <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'> Not to mention people will be busy playing the new maps , and most of the custom stuff will be shelved until everyone gets bored of the 2.0 maps. Just my opinion though.

Some_tall_guy1 · July 2003

Well I'm about 20% dont the my map. I've got the marine spawn and most of the way to one of the hives almost done, and that hive is also done.

No Blueman! Mystic is ace! go ahead with a new build so we can test it again! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>
