Ever Want To Play The Old Maps Again?

Granted some of them had moderate flaws, but don't you want to weld open the recond res in central processing again, and walk through the old Marine start in eclipse? I would like to see the old versions of the maps again.

    They should add the old maps in for fun, like retro_ns_eclipse <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Old ns_eclipse kicked butt! I think the its readyroom is more atmospheric than the current one too.

    You can download the original maps <a href='http://www.brywright.co.uk/downloads/files/index.php?dir=natural-selection/maps/&file=NS_1.04_Maps_v3.zip' target='_blank'>here</a>
    simply extract to your nsp folder.
    However, be warned the onos willg et stuck on them

    Hey thanks I knew someone had them. Does anyone know of servers that have them in rotation, officially or unofficially?

    well there were good things about the old maps, and some not so good things about the old maps, but I think the retro maps idea would be good

    best map ever is the pre 1.0 Hera. That map is HUGE.

    The problem is with all the changes in the new versions, the maps probably wouldn't be balanced. Though they are fun to look at <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Agreed. Sadly, its entitycount was simply beyond good and evil. I've got to say that Hera remains my favorite map, though.

    Keep the original map nemesis so we can remake it when HL2 come out!!! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Even if it ever comes to that (<a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=35' target='_blank'>which is not decided yet</a>), it'd be up to Merkaba whether and how to port Hera - it's his map, after all.

    Sounds good. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    PS: are we going to release Barney's NS map with "B5" as you call it?

    *i don't think this has been dicussed what we are planning to do with it, just that it exists*

    ~edit~

    This brings back memories...

    If I remember the story correctly (and it's been a while, so correct me if I'm wrong), narby had to move on to paid projects before ironing all of romana's flukes out. Thus, it was not included, and since NS mapping has changed quite significantly since that date, I doubt that a 'revival' of the map would make any kind of sense. It's a pity since romana had a few distinctly nice touches (I have fond memories of being maimed to Kharaa stew by a working tram), but I doubt it'll ever see the light of day.

    aww, perhaps might it be possible to get the map file from him and have someone else finish it?

    You'd be surprised what people will agree to if you email them and ask nicely. I'm not sure it would be at all playable in NS today, though. Note the page says it 'contains 32 spawn points'? Makes me wonder if it even has more than one hive location. But it would be nice to have just as an historic curiosity at least.
  • CypherCypher Join Date: 2003-03-16 Member: 14579Members
    I thought that referred to the amount of spawnpoints in the readyroom...

    You're right, sorry, but could someone PM the servers they know of?

    and on the topic of old maps, is europa going to make a come back? I liked that map.

    Loved original bast - atmospheric enough for a single player game
    Original caged as well. All that random complex infrastructure, and far less orientation cues.
    Original Hera walkway

    Fact : Hera was never a good map.
  • ZiGGYZiGGY Join Date: 2003-01-19 Member: 12479Members
    hera + lerk (1.0) = funnnnnnnnn

    The only thing I do miss about the old maps though is the smooth ceilings which allowed skulks to coil smoothly around the terrain(floor/wall/ceiling) without getting stuck somewhere every 5 seconds.
