Any Unused Concepts?

BulletHead · June 2005

<div class="IPBDescription">I'm dead on my feet</div> Well,I'm looking now for any kind of project to take up. I need a layout. It's as simple as that. I suck at making my own, I don't know why. I'm half thinking of using the old ns_eclipse layout and making a map based off that layout... but I don't want to steal from an old goodie like that

Any out there that i could use?

heh, meant a little more detailed

As in, you have a well thought out concept laying around and no time to use it <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /> Eg, a difference between hallways and rooms <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

Thnx for the effort though

* Points down (the mapping forum)

Can people please stop caging layouts in square boxes...

KungFuDiscoMonkey · June 2005

You just seem to have a lot of problems BulletHead

BulletHead · June 2005

Meh... I spent nearly 24 of thelast 48 hours reformatting and resetting my PC so it was up to snuff... my brain is fried

Mapping by layout sucks.

what, then? veil style? that works too of course, but so does the "square box".

Caged anyone? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' />

LupinThe3rd · June 2005

caged, for real? i just drew it, it looks completely different, and much smaller....
at least IMO... but i guess the dbl and hive positions are SIMILAR... other than that i dont see a resemblance

Crispy · June 2005

caging was simply a coincidental use of the English language. I could have just as easily said "boxing in" but caged has a more suppressive connotations; I was trying to help you understand that map layouts are much better when you think about them as a real construction, made by intelligent lifeforms. Don't let your maps end up like <i>ant farms</i> because of a poor layout.

Absolutly right Crispy !

I'm sick of maps with a square footprint, sick of maps which consist of rooms without any obvious purpose, ... sick of maps which may be part of a labyrinth ... cause the layout doesn't fit for any space-ship / -station or what ever.

If a room is called Cargo Bay ... there should be big Gates ... things like stacker lift trucks, and good old crates. If it is in marine Territory ... make it look clean ... if it is near a hive, let the crates be knocked over ... broken ...

If it is satelite communication ... there should be loads of monitors ... maybe a big mainscreen, analysis computers and so on ...

Make the rooms look like they have been in use some hours ago.

Just imagine a scenario from the war TSA vs Kharaa ^^

I will post one the next days <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /> Maybe you like it.

ok ... here we go ... ns_sheba

This is Version 0.1 ~~ so it is not completed yet. This a classic NS map.

Backgroundstory:

err ... I will write a good one as soon as I have some time to. ^^ But so far: The map is a docking station. It is one of multiple Platforms Spacestation "Sheba" has. An infected Ship arrived at one Bay and Kharaa flooded that Platform. But Spacestation authorities managed to quarantine that docking platform and called for TSA to manage the thread. A small group of marines arrives in a small gunboat. They are forced to get in from another Dockingbay on that Platform.

If anyone already decided to take something from that idea or design ... just don't forget to name, and contact me <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

nice its sertainly not square, the only issues i see with multi lvl maps stacked directly above one another is, possable segine of lvls above and below

but cool concept man wd

It's caged man... you just traded one vent for a hallway and offset the nodes and hives a little.

Naigel · July 2005

Damn, I should've asked for the same thing ages ago... I might even have had finished maps then <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' />
