Mappers Profile?

Jim_has_Skillz · October 2004

<div class="IPBDescription">Whats the deal?</div> Little more info on this Zunni, seems pretty cool but is this gonna be a weekly thing or what? Liked the first map of the week so far, would love to try it out. This definately seems like a good idea as it will keep us content until the next version comes out.

Anyways feedback! oh and other people may post and discuss this in general here since this is the general discussion forums.

GW Zunni!

As I say, first in a series...

It's a good way for people to see changes to maps before B6 is released. Obviously I'm not showing all, but giving people a little more insight into the mappers themselves as well as how the maps have changed for B6 seems like a good idea while we work on gameplay components (and then I can tell you about those).

I think it will be more frequent than 1 a week.. I'm already working on the next one..

Steel_Troll · October 2004

What a great idea!I for one found this interesting, especially since i like altari, overall, and am glad to see that it is being worked on... This mappers profile may also give some mappers the push they need to start working aand fixing their maps off to give us the great maps we so often take for granted.

Quote "Note: since this map is still under development additional corrections/changes may occur"

Im happy to see that you have decided to trust the forum community and let us have a little peek at upcoming stuff even if they are subject to change, now people dont let Zunni down, no whining if anything is taken out!!

Great work again Zunni, and keep it coming!!

>>me downloads Videos...

The last video, the bottom hive res node, looks so nice. I also like what he has done with the purple lighting. Overall... I'm lovin' it.

KungFuDiscoMonkey · October 2004

I should point out that the build Zunni walked through is a bit old so I've already fixed up some of those areas even more <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

But mostly I wanted him to show that I had been working on it and had him show off some areas to show that some of the more major complaints were dealt with.

Steel_Troll · October 2004

Well keep at it KDM, at first i was going to complain about it being too light , but, eclipse is very light aint it?I watched the videos, and i realised it is looking very sweet, and you have made loads of changes for the better....good work

Ooooh!! ohh! can i make a sugestion? have the pipe room spew out steam!, lots of it! And have groaning noises, just to have a nice scary point in the map...
Just a suggestion though <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' />

zunni, great work, keep the info coming

this again reminds me of MonsE's map PR blitz, which was excellent

KFDM, that is some sexy mapping, I really favour the purple hued area, I can hardly wait.

BobTheJanitor · October 2004

See, KFDM? I told ya the purple was awesome. The people love it. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' />

ThE_HeRo · October 2004

Pink and purple ftw irl tbh. GJ KFDM

SaltzBad · October 2004

Oh wow, its actually purple? I thought that was just this LSD pill I was poppin'.

Quaunaut · October 2004

The Purple's okay, but now it seems *too* lighted. Can anyone say "Marine Advantage" again? I'd rather have it be dim but lighted enough to know where the hell you're going, with bad lighting in specific places.

Zunni · October 2004

Probably not a good idea to speculate too much Quan... It would probably be better to wait til you actually get to play it <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

That, + this isn't the real altair atm, as KFDM said it's an older build. We never know what's been changed! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' />

Windelkron · October 2004

zunni rulzzzzzzzzzzzzz

semipsychotic · October 2004

I've gotta say, the purple is just fab... erm, awesome. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /> It really gives a little spice to the map where it needs a little variation.

I like the third-to-last pic with the resource node, and I LOVE the second-to-last pick with the pipe room. The color blending in that shot is extremely cool.

douchebagatron · October 2004

has anyone else thought that altair would look amazing on the source engine? thats the main thing that i noticed the first time i played altair. the barrels would be cool, so would the big panels laying around, and the water and one specific thing i recall is a big panel leaning against 2 barrels. source engine would make this great.

KaMiKaZe1 · October 2004

I'm glad that the lighting has been fixed, but it still looks way too open. =[

To be honest, the map does need a make over, and KFDM knows it. The quickest way to make over is re-build. Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day.

Jane · October 2004

I love the purple too, there are quite a few rooms with the pretty purple-ness, it's so cute. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /> I think he is doing a great job with it.

Gneralas · October 2004

More information for the mappers should be added.

Zunni · November 2004

like what? I tried to think of additional questions, but every other question I came up with would be answered pretty much the same by all mappers.

For example, "How would you feel about mapping for a future version of NS (Source or other engine)?" Of course every mapper is going to say "I think that would be cool"

So if there are any other questions that would give unique answers, that you are interested in finding out about, please let me know.

Jane · November 2004

Favorite part of any one else’s maps -

Was there a story to go along with your map? (like altair is under water and has doors everywhere, I asked, so now know why there are so many doors, but do you?) <img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

Are you currently working on any other maps right now, and could you tell us a little about it / them if you are?

*edited for spelling*

Grunt · November 2004

The purple looks nice in the screen shots, but it dosen't seem to go with the gray/metal textures.

In the first clip, the barrels would be better if they were a model.
