<div class="IPBDescription">Post the .rmf or some piccys here</div> Well, I figure that if you know you will never finish your map, you ought to share what you have done... it'll help others with insperation The ONE requirement is you don't rip directly from a map (which isn't hard to tell if you do) so no bootleging from others maps <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

Everything you don't want is worth posting.

I may dig out one or two today, the only problem I have is I recycle old .rmf's in to newer existing maps.

<b>EDIT:</b>

I'm probably never going to use the sources of co_inertia (unseen) and ns_palisade_p1 (old forum thread around here somewhere) so here they are in a zip, I will also link them on my portfolio website some time over the next few days.

<a href='http://jdleveldesign.hlgaming.com/jdns_sourcermf.zip' target='_blank'>Download Co_Inertia & Ns_Palisade_P1 - Uncompleted RMFS (Approx. 123kb Zip)</a>

I'm also happy if people want to use any parts without credit, and if you want to nitpick or whinge or comment in any way about my mapping style, go ahead <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

Tis better to post the *.map so the people who don't use hammer could use the files to of they wanted to

Invader_Scoot · January 2005

Here's everything you'll need to begin work on my map, ns_apoc. It was my first true fairly good looking ns map, and I hope you guys can put the source in use. The .zip Contains everything you'll need to play the map, and the .rmf, the .rad, and the preset I use to compile it in batch.

N_Recoup · January 2005

I'd post all of my maps, from the Gendo remake to the Vertigo combat map I had set up, but I lost all of them. The only one I have was when I was throwing together an idustrial look for co_myrmidon, and thats not very far into progress.

g/j! Glad to see the community rally like this <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

I may post up an early beta of my first map design (it was good looking, but around 2.6 TRILLION pollies in a 500 unit area so... yeah...) if i ever find it <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

GiGaBiTe · February 2005

hmm, i would post the source i made from ns_fenris's cargo hive c, but i dont think that sir_pepe would like that.

maybe ill get around to finishing that map, since noone else did...

BulletHead · February 2005

Well, my own map may wind up here if I can't fix the texture memory issues... damn small limit <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' />

It doesn't matter if it doesn't compile, maybe someone can fix it themselves if they want. The idea of unfinished maps and source files is from people to learn from techniques and others mistakes.

Enzo_Matrix · February 2005

So I was working on this map last year and I ran into too many problems.. also a lack of will power.

ns_vtec

You can dl the .rmf, skybox images, starcraft map file, and a wad containing 2 starcraft textures <a href='http://loc-clan.com/enzo/maps/ns_vtec.rar' target='_blank'>right HERE</a>

Like I said, i worked on it for a couple months then gave up. im not sure if it will even load. The idea was to take a SC custom map and make a full size NS map.

So ya.. if it works and you finish it.. just gimmie some credit. ;D

BulletHead · February 2005

I might give that a shot <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

So long as it has relatively few leaks <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

Thaldarin · February 2005

Wow! I found an old .rmf I was looking for last year after my computer died on me at the start of spring. I thought I lost it last year, but obviously not! I won't use it, so here is the source to download, from the 9th February 2004.

<a href='http://jdleveldesign.hlgaming.com/guard_backup.zip' target='_blank'>Ns_Guard Source DL (approx. 233kb)</a>

If you want in-game screenshots there is probably an extremely old thread around somewhere.

I love finding old floppy disks <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

*WOW*

I had the idea myself long ago but was too lazy to do anything in this direction... hm... maybe some quick "sc editor like" map? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /> will see what I can do about THAT. and btw the massive roller doors will be used, too.

AdvPredator · February 2005

The only problem is that every link are broken.

Carnaxus · February 2005

WHAT?!

lol damn...I wanted some of this stuff...let me check on that one...

@sir pepe: FIND THAT RMF, I MUST HAVE THAT RED HALLWAY TO ADD TO co_escape!

He never said he would give away the rmf.

The point of this topic is not to steal parts from peoples' maps and add them to your own, the point is that by looking at sources you may LEARN from others. I know I sure as hell wouldn't want to put up old sources here if I know that people will just grab them from the rmf without second thought and slap it in their map. "I'm a mapper!", indeed.

Besides, he said he lost the rmf. How is he supposed to 'find' it? And if he could, why should he? So some random person can add it to their map and claim it as their own?

NetBent · February 2005

Yeah the comment sorta ticked me off too, but I decided somebody else better tell him off seeing how I've been absent for so long.

Carnaxus · February 2005

bleh...I have the rest of the map all planned out, I just needed something to fill in an empty spot between the hive and the "double res" room if it was an NS map...lol yes there will be resnodes, but no RTs and they're just for show...oops revealed too much...!

drain · February 2005

Seriously, it'll take you a whole lot trouble if you just create that hallway yourself instead of using one made by someone else. The main reason why everyone is posting their sources is so they can help you. You don't learn from stealing. You learn from observing.

Would be interesting if we could get alot of map source files together, and then played about with them to make an interesting community map which will quite possibly have no hardline theme, but will look good and hopefully play just as good. The author list could possibly reach 20+ though.

It's just given me a thought, NS could be in the guiness book of records for "most people to work on a single map project" <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

Crispy · February 2005

Sorry, no RMF and no screenshots. I lost the thread location in the .org > .com move (from my sig) and haven't been able/assed to find it again since.

Solace is not dead though, just sleeping. I'll take it back up in late summer, along with beginning work on the mapping for Citadel Utopia. In some ways all of this time away from Hammer (5 months) has seen me come up with some really good concept art for the architecture. I've completely designed the Gospel Generator (Hive location), the corridors that lead there, a cool new room near Gospel, some cool corridors for the Cargo Bridge (ICU point) and also added to the design of the Veritas Complex.

Unfortunately, no pics, not even scanned concept art. That's the flipside of the "boredom-leads-to-creativity" coin.

While I'm reluctant to post this as it's crap, well, some people might be interested anyway.

Ron2K · February 2005

Screenshots from beta2 of ns_adrianne. (Beta1 was a complete disaster so I completely redid the map, virtually from scratch.) Some of you might remember the preview vid that I put up in the "Post Your Screenshots" thread in mid-January.

The map was completed, but never released, for two reasons. Firstly, the shell that I had access to (and where I was going to put the map for download) died, and has not returned. My guess is that it's been firewalled. Secondly, I'm very busy in my new job, and whether or not I would have the time to maintain it is very much up for debate.

Hope you like what I did, though...

GiGaBiTe · February 2005

sir_pepe, i pity you. thats like the 3rd map you lost the source for?

and for the rest of the good mappers out there, CREATE BACKUPS FREQENTLY! i would have loved to play some of those maps.

Meat_Popsicle · February 2005

my rmf folder is now several gigs i think, never lost any decent maps tho alltho one (de_cabbage) got corrupted right near the end and the guy who made the .rmf to .map converter (Jebediah) managed to recover enough of it for me to finish it off properlly <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

Ron2K · March 2005

Update: one of my friends saw the screenshots that I posted a few posts up. He's persuaded me to take it up again, and he's going to get his friends to playtest it for me. So it may get released after all. Watch this space.
