Gravity, in the package w have uploaded to our server the minimap is missing.
Do you have one ready, since people are already complaining <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' />

DEADscott · May 2005

Yes, the minimap is missing from the zip. Or is it the ns_source_b34.spr located in the root folder of the zip?

Pretty close... I'd say Source looks better then ALOT of the official maps however... In terms of looks it's up there with mineshaft and agora and bast no problem in my opinion.

thats nice to hear. bast allways had been one of my favourite hl1 maps because of its fantastic looks.
but a nice looking map is nothing without gameplay.
one thing I realized during play: for ns beginers this map may be perfect. marines have some areas with long hallways and large rooms. on the other side there are some passages where aliens can hide and ambush. but if you take a look from the competative side... but I really dont know for SHURE.

last time I played it there was a really nice second base at energy supply. we had some trouble to defend the ore melter hive. although the hiveroom is pretty open its not as easy as it looks to kill the hive. you cant siege it from outside. you need at least a siege in the last doorframe at one of the entries to reach the hive.

there seem to be too much people out there REFUSING to test it -_-
Im afraid there might besome bad errors left. and I have to excuse for the zip file. I put the minimap in the wrong folder by accident.

Cloist · May 2005

Great work Lt Gravity , i got a chance to walk around and was very impressed but i rarely see the map on any server rotation. This sucks tbh as i cant play the map on pubs <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' />

Kobayashi · May 2005

lol =D

people seem to enjoy your map pretty well.

Their main comments on the maps was that they were too complex and that in quite a few places, eye-candy got in the way of gameplay. Some designs were taken too far and became maze-like without serving real purpose, which served to frustrate people.

I'm not entirely sure which maps specifically they wre referring too, but there's generally less complaining on your map than others. =D

which bodes well for your map, but about teh others... =/

<img src='http://fft.blackmage.org/Members/Crabby/NS_Source/skinnedminer2.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' />

its pretty much finished. maybe I get the new dropship skin in time *teases mr. headcrab* <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' />

I will take up work again this week and start fixing some problems.
to do:
- change the hallway from vehicle parking to surface elevators because it looks ugly
- possible changes on the garages so you can see the new vehicle more clearly
- fix the door bug
- add a vent from cooling sewers to connection hallway (vehicle parking to surface elevators)
- add a decent "join alien" entrance to the rr
- fix know stuck areas
- fix the rumble effect (the earth is shaking without any sound if you are too far away from the origin of sound)
- fix the story (as good as possible)

havent given up yet

you mean "skin it", not modelling it. besides that he didnt want to do the skin. mr. headcrab did a perfect job in my eyes. Im curious on how the dropship might look.

the vehicle looks pretty awesome ingame, I will post a screenshot when I get home.

but now I will HAVE TO rebuild the garages <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' />

Im TERRIBLE interested.

but...

"login"

the 20th account this year...

edit (to avoid spamming my own thread):
I decided to take up work at the evening again. although I have doubts that this work will pay out. well, ...

however, just completed my "to do"-list, featuring tons of statements from forum members, players and myself.

this list is about 13 pages long.

this will be a hard one, Im still surfing on the edge of exceeding limits...

Ignore admiral, he seems to be the sort of clanner that thinks that NS maps were commissioned on the day of his birth to be perfected to his specific competitive needs and that NSMAPS is a small moon currently in orbit of a planetoid inhabited by clanners in the CAL system, located somewhere towards the centre of the Universe.

KungFuDiscoMonkey · July 2005

Be careful on the CAL forums. There are a few people who will try to give some useful feedback, but far many more who will post just to say the map sucks.

Lt_Gravity · July 2005

Im used to people who cant express themselves.

"I dont like it."

nothing more to say.

Im sad about I couldnt work at the map this we. sometimes there are way to much voices against it all. I envy moultano: he works out every single piece of his map. but Im kinda tired of it all. especially when reading motivating statements like the one abouve. its not that I care too much but sometimes ...

since april 27th there is nearly no progress at all.
