<div class="IPBDescription">The time is NOW.</div> <b><span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>Bast Remake Team 2004</span></b>
It's been talked about...
People want it done...
And here it is.
It is my understanding that Lazer is somewhat tired from leading the remake on Nancy, so I will lead this project team.
Although I had some reservations about remaking Bast, the simple fact is, it needs to be done. Flayra has expressed a great desire to see Bast back in action and updateable once again and I feel that I've been waiting for someone to start this thread and finally realized that if no one else was going to, I would. I hope everyone will be as kind and supportive as they were for the Nancy Remake Team. (Which I believe will be included in 3.0 of NS (w00t))
The Goals of this Project Team are simple:
1. To re-create the lost Bast source file and hand it back into Flayra and the entire NS team.
Yup, just one goal! I do not want any additions to be made to Bast whatsoever. The goal of this project is to give Flayra the souce code as if it never left at all!
OK, anyone with an interest, that knows they can be dedicated throughout this long process, please say so and I will give you a place, no questions asked. However, please, do NOT sign-up if you cannot complete your part of the map and stay dedicated to this team for many months to come. Please only serious people.
(Don't forget to stake your claim to a specific area to remake!)
I thank everyone of you for the support you have shown to the Nancy Team and I know you will do the same for this team.
Thanks everyone and God Bless!
P.S. Now we need to know if we can obtain a decompile or if we are mapping from scratch. Mink if you could decompile Bast like you did Nancy I would very much appreciate it. Otherwise, we're mapping without anything but the BSP to go on and I'm fine either way. A decompile would be nice but this is a done deal. If I have to remake everything from scratch I will!

Until I hear otherwise, I doubt that Relic would have a problem in at least getting the source available again to the dev team so that future progress could be made. After all, I'd heard nothing about him wanting the map to be actually pulled from NS.
I am not XP-Cagey. I don't deal with permissions and rights like he does. If this is truly a problem then Bast can't be remade. End of story. However, I am simply at a loss to see how any mapper could not want his map remade? We all want Bast remade because we love Bast. (Well, maybe a few veterans don't...) And I'll be damned if some law or permission's right is going to stand in my way. Some of the laws and systems we have in place as a country are simply screwed and this is one of them. I am not defacing his creation or making modifications to it for no good reason, I am remaking it, entirely and completely 100% accurately.
Getting his permission? I'd love to. But he appears to have dropped off the face of the planet, so I don't think that is possible.
So Cagey, if you would like to give me the word on Virtual Rights then please do because honestly I just don't friggin' know.

Could you guys please wait until we get the permissions and stuff? I was going to lead the project, at least, on my group of people <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

Sounds fine to me Mend. You lead and I'll simply participate. I'll stake claim to Refinery Hive Area to remake if that's OK with you.
EDIT: I see no reason to have two "groups" working, I would have volunteered for your group if I had known about it. Unless it was suppose to be a surprise or something and that's why you didn't make a thread here. If that is the case then I ruined a very cool surprise... lol, hope that isn't the case.

Best of luck on that reply Mendasp, I hope to see some flowing water from the broken pipes in feedwater, to add a little spice <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Just wanted to make sure I hadn't crashed the party. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Well then, just use this thread as your base of operations, so we don't clutter the boards too much or confuse anyone and you take over as leader, oh yeah baby! It's all comin' together.

And if ever you're gonna make any modifications, it's that blasted vent door in MS. Other than that, I'd like to see it all done the way it was.
I also noticed the easter egg is teh b0rked in 2.0 <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
I agree. It's Mendasp's call on this one.
And I doubt Flay will say no, since he has expressed a great interest in re-doing it before but that's just me assuming and you know what they say... never assume... it only makes an -a-s-s- out of -u- and -m-e-!

If we see that we'll need more help, we'll ask for it, so don't worry about that. For now, 8 mappers are more than enough. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
As I said, I managed to get the decompile to work without fatally crashing hammer, so it's a matter of replacing brushes and retexturing some little things, we don't need a 20-man army, heh.
btw, I'd like to start my own thread when we get a reply (hopefully positive), so I can update the first page (like the nancy thread), hope you don't mind.
Hope we get a yes from Flayra soon.
I don't know at all if i will be able ton find time to help you, but be sure that i'll have a look on your work.
Congratulations again to the nancy remake team and to the Bast remake team, for giving those fabulous maps a second life.

Yeah, you have by far enough mappers, so I don't even need to contribute. ( I SHOULD be focusing on releasing a map of my own really. lol.) And an admin can delete this thread once yours gets goin' Mend, no need for this one anymore. I think this time I'll be one of those "Great job, guys, keep it up." Sideline fans and not a contributor. It sounds like you have a fabulous team going there BTW. Good luck and best wishes!

Maybe you could use that to aid you.

Already tried decompiling bast. Wouldn't work. It crashes.
