There are limits, you know. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
was that map ever released?
That was my map... (got a name change <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->)
Anyhoo, source was lost during one of my (many, many, many) reformats...
When I get some ideas I'll start a new one.
<i><span style='color:yellow'>ns_attrition
co_dante</span></i> <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->
I lost the source to both of them in a power surge, at the moment I've only rebuilt co_dante and I should be finished early next week.
I'm not sure if I'll start ns_attrition again.

yes, I imagined all this, of course...
but I'm more like searching for a <i>"confirmation"</i> of these statuses by the mappers themselves... <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Mouse: too bad, but great (on co_dante)
CaboosyDoodlyDoo: too bad, looked nice
Hybridclaw: I think you mean ns_temple, which I think is still being worked on
come on, you other ****! show your face! <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

still alive and kicking, but I haven't done ANY mapping last couple of months since I really should read to the final exams and decide to which school to go next and and and

That map was one of my first ever attempts at mapping, and I really had no intention of releasing it. However I am currently working on a new map and may use the same name.
ns_attempt was, like it says, an attempt, it was my first attempt a mapping for NS, and I got burned out after awhile, it still have it and considered trying to recover it, however im currntly over worked with other things and only have time to work on my newer map co_interred
ns_shiva was looking to be a great map and i would like to know what happened to it
ns_hulk, Rendy is currenly w/o internet i think, but the map was simply to big and he had to stop, he said he will combine parts of it into other maps
Hyperion2010: too bad about ns_hulk... 'twas looking mighty fine... let's see if anything comes of this piecing together you mention... good luck with co_interred...
supernorn2000: hey, that sounds good... any piccies for the "Post Your Screenshots" thread yet? Interesting name...
Mendasp: D:
so, what about the <i>rest</i> of ye?
NOOO PLEASE!!!! AAAARGH
PLEASE PEOPLE!!! PLEASE MAKE BACKUPS!!!! BACKUPS!!!!
[/outburst of madness!!!!]
So now thats out of my system I can translate it <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
ns_nancy, ns_bast and more of the great maps have been lost with the evil <span style='color:red'>"source being lost/damaged syndrome"</span>
My request:
Please mappers, do like I do. Make backups!!! Backups I say... From my map I have like 5 backups if not more variating from cd-rw, hdd01 pc 1, hdd01&hdd2 pc2, laptop, usb stick, my backup acces @ college etc...
And no I'm not paranoid i'm just extremely cautious. Not only hdd crashes and file damage is a problem, the virus is also dangerous...
<span style='color:gray'>*looks back at what was typed, searching for flame. Remembers a Kouji San can't flame somehow, but he can scream <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->*</span>
mapping is not an easy thing. but building rome wasnt either <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> maybe it was even easier...
<i><span style='color:yellow'>ns_sun
ns_naide
ns_overture</span></i><!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
A these three maps are officially dead. Ns_Overture actually turned into Co_Overture, and was more or less finished, but it didn't exactly turned out as I wanted, so I chose not to release it. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
But just as I said in Mendasps quote, I do have plans to revive Ns_Naide. Maybe as my next ns-map. Who knows? ... I do. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
D.M: damn! all dead? that's mapicide! you, sir, are a mapurderer! o_O
Reese: not just me... everyone always likes a new map, I would think... <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I'm actually suprised and quite flattered that people remember (and possibly care about) the existence of this map.
Don't worry, it's not dead. After I get co_halo done, Spirit will return...
working on it, so long it is to make a good ns map :s
I wish like anything I had more time to map these days. I'm taking 61 units this semester, which is supposed to translate int 61 hours of work per week. 12 of those 61 units are 'Operating System Design and Implementation' which has a reputation for being a 40 hour a week class all unto itself.
I most certainly haven't given up on it. I'm a bit flattered that people remember it <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->.
