Map Idea Req Thing

X_Stickman

<div class="IPBDescription">MY SCHOOL OMGZ</div> Despite swearing i'd never come into this forum again after requesting nancy to be remade (and i found out that A) It's being remade already and b) i'd gotten the name of the map wrong), i've had an idea. MY SCHOOL! I've always thought that my school would make a good game map, so anyway, here it is. Obviously, the whole thing is a bit too big (i'd guess) but the layout is pretty good, especially if liberty is taken with certain areas.
Here's the basic layout anyways.

This is Natural Selection, not a Counter-Strike 'fun' map.

I can just imagine...running from an ono with the theme from Grangehill blasting in the background.

....

I cant see it happening.. sorry.

I didn't mean have textures with school reports and stuff all on the walls, i meant just the basic shape of the thing. Make it into a space station for all i care, i just think the basic shape of the thing (if some rooms are knocked into each other etc) would be good for a map. ns_wodo, heh.

Or it could be your school with school textures but say an area some places got infected and you can actually make a theme out of that... I guess. How cool it would be if a classroom on the second floor had the floor torn out and a hive is in it.

I would report straight to the headmaster <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

I agree it is not a very good idea, especially if you are going to do outside areas. I don't like "fun" maps either as they're usually poorly made. If it is what you like go for it, Lazer has the right sort of ideas flowing around.

Just to think if your headteacher was trapped and surrounded by infestation in his onw office ... hmmmm

Stickman, mapping is not that hard, it only takes time(lots of it) and some patience. It seems pretty obvious that no one will make this map as it takes a fair bit of time and no one seems to enthused at the idea so if you really wan't it done then I think you will have to do it yourself. I'm sure people will help you get started/solve problems that pop up if you care to give it a go.

i tried to do that with my school but my god, what a time sync

Ashaman_Joe

I imagine it would be a lot more fun as a map for, say, Red Fraction, where you can blow up the enviroment <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

Basic mapping takes about a day to learn.

Melancor

Maybe, but advanced mapping ain't.
Ask the makers of the official NS maps how many hours they put in their work. The BSP system is kinda old ya know...

I did a part of my college as part of a CS map once.
All i need is a digital camera to make the textures.
