<div class="IPBDescription">as in earth quake</div> Ok, some of ya's may know me, have seen my recent questions in the mapping forums.
Anyway ill throw it out there, lets yas pick at it what ever yas do, how yas case it and go about sorting out who does what but i would like sevral of yas to put ya heads togthers and give it a soild shot/attempt
i currently have a huge head cold just got it last night, so pls dont bomb bard me with questions tomorrow : ) keep em simple
ok back ground/story
a relatively new tsa vespian research lab was constructed, on a huge chunck of space bebrie, the debrie was clarifed to have no life forms but partial bacrirum residents
the base smash landed was mech constructed and the mineing and rez reseach had began, 84 years into the project, after circling 2 random planets, the mineing hit a fault line if you will, the debrif shifted, weather its was from charges, mechs, lazer drilling or the shortning distance to a plantets atmosphere something shifted, the internal structure of the was ment to be well built research labs, became unstable several colapses occaered lives were lost, with the ever in creaseing unstableness and the report of a non man made tunneling system, the workers were asked to leave abruptly and not to, retrive the dead,
during a swift cool off time, the backterium manifested in the dead, exselrated by escapeing uncaped rez flow the cool damp CO2 mingled air,
life forms, were found on the perlimanry scan, for retrival of tsa mineing equipment
the standard protocal was followed, was this dire needed rez, what would there number be like, the plan was a go ahead, mining ships were ordered out of that space sector
the rines made the mad and hastie jump ,and proceded to scan, the count of life forms was minimal, but hte life forms were digging, digging for what more rez?
they have to land take back the multi billion dollar mechs, and elimante the karaa backterium strain
apon landing and takeing liveing quatars with out a threat, they gaiend access to to the computer and investiagted, back terium in the xeno tunnels, bacterium in lazer drilling back terium in mech labs, structural scan, pointed in hte right direction showed, a huge pocket, to which the karaa were digging for
all tho over looked by the miners scans, this important poket holds ancient karaa backterium, a far more advance strain, with many limbs
if consumed by this karaa the space debrie will have to be vaperised, along with all the gear, as this hunk, of debrie is heading for, colanised planet
the reason for the ever increaseing quakes
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ok
to put it simple ya got marien start here two ways out one leads to a fork, which leads to the west hive, and to the south hive (ms start is north), the second path leads to the east hive
now the east hive connects to the shouth hive via tunnels, and the west hive connects to ms via tunnels, so if south hive wants to get to west hive they must go thro the fork
got it, this is basicaly what it looks liek with out all the crap
Anyway ill throw it out there, lets yas pick at it what ever yas do, how yas case it and go about sorting out who does what but i would like sevral of yas to put ya heads togthers and give it a soild shot/attempt

basicaly rine start is two lvls, and hte ready room is behind on the other side of the out side ish wall on the lower lvl of rine start
basicaly the top floor is a observasion deck, has remote to most any thing in the base (cough cc goes here some were)
the second floor right below it, has ms rez node, and is more lie a lounge, as i said the the fake doors lead to RR in ther are bunks and so on
PIC 1the pic is off the steel stairs and the res node opposite them, on the bottom lvl of MS
heres a pick of teh base of the service elevator
from there, theres a node off to one side and the tunnel contiunes down,i got ideas here, but ill get to them latter days
ok back to SM, of so ya head south out hte secodn door out of rine start, ad you hit this sexy cross road, lok at this
hers a pick of the trashed wall in the opposed courner leadign into thie rez reseach lab
the coridor i nthe pic vers right heads down to the change locker rooms, which head on to another lot of doors on the opposed side to cross roads, and the first collem of rez banks, which are a mirror to the other lot of rez banks i have talked about, only diffrenace is the structural damage differs, makeing another mase to a node, as well as vent access to a poket and then vent access to rine start
core leads out oen main door to a node, whice was exsplored and emergency caped as the rez flow from it was to volatie, this coridor urun north hits a t section the pat hthe leads to the left, joins on to on of the alien core tunnels as well as the south west celing breatch, the tunnel that leads right heads off to the rine access to xeno tunnels and rez research
and way heres the two story top-o's
top story
i know ya going to say a few things, wide open mech bays arnt good for aliens, well thats why the skafholding in there its multi lvl skaf filling up enough of the room to provide cover, as well as leave open for some nie nade rebounds *wicked grin
your also going to say mand thats huge open mine, well yeah ill agree with you, but what i was consitering was, rines get to wled crap, i say give aliens random events to aid tehm but apraently this woudl be hard to code or woudl reqire a triger after trigger method, i dotn know i coul draw in a intricate tunnel system, but eh
i would prefere a lot of faling debire cutting off areas to the map and ,being random at random intervules would make for a interresting match, alien and rine world frags
the tunnles are in a new tsa interier, they have a lot of rez pipeing running every were thesr 8 banks that hte pipeing needs to house and conenct and join with steam vales and so on and so fourht i would love a few ruptures, on trigger sor what ever, but would just take a basic lay out for now
the rez research labs, look liek acctuly sience labs but are trashed from the rickter scale going A-wall
so 8 rez nodes in total and not all are in the rez banks, 5 of the rez bnanks are colapsed in on therm selfs and have debrie blocking nthere doors and so on, the rez IMO is spread evenly
the distance between point A and point B seam relativly fair, and fro mthe top-o you can already make out wer eth huge battles will take place
jsut to clarafy a few things there are sevral breakable ares in this map be the yglass or strucutrual, no there not all marked as such but most are, eg the xx at SW breatch, and the glass windows around rine start, won window over looks the main access to X roads, one window has a side veiw onto this tunnel and is a security booth
ok guys and girls i gotta go to bed, i have hits huge head cold and need sleep and lots of liquids
cheers, ill try t oanswer all the questiosn i can, and pls carm down on harassing my spelling and gramma, as well as my lubed paper
[RANT]Sorry if I come across rude, but I've just had an argument with some slag who thought that I didn't have the right to complain about extortionate internet prices. Me being the customer, I supposedly have no consumer rights. Jeez I just wanna punch her in the face.[/RANT]
cave paints, well a "UBGA BUBOOGA" to you to
...had brought me to the end of my tether.
The last two top-down views are much easier to follow, and yes, I meant the size of the picture, as in its dimensions.
P.S. Aah I feel better now <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif' /><!--endemo-->
P.S.S. <span style='color:red'>Disclaimer: the first four asterisks are 'nick', so the meaning is quite obviously supposed to be 'poisened'. The second set of *s mean 'nothing at'. The final three cover up a word that doesn't exist in the English language, but <a href='http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=ghettoize' target='_blank'>this</a> would be it's nearest alphabetical neighbour.</span>
the mines an the xeno, tunnels really are non exsistant at the present compared to what they could be, obiously the walls will be relatively thick and waffer thin, some area's can be pulled out and streatched a little, was thinking about adding another access to mine one rine accessable between, core and rez research labs
My suggestions would be to label your map <b>in paint</b>.
Trust me Paint isn't that difficult to use, just select the box tool or the line tool to make the top down view and use the <b>A</b> tool for labelling your areas. Use the Fill function to fill in an area in your chosen colour. Remember that there is one colour assigned to your left mouse button, and another to the right mouse button. You can change these by clicking with the L/R mouse button on the colours of your choice in the palette at the bottom-left of the screen.
Most mappers do these kinds of drawings, but they don't post them on the internet because they're not clear enough. I have a whole notebook full of stuff like this, but I only use it for personal reference because I understand what my squiggles mean, and nobody else on this earth would recognise it as a map layout/corridor concept/lighting diagram/etc.
Please try to at least use full-stops/periods in your writing. I really don't think that's too much to ask. A sentence could be described as <i>a description of one element of a concept</i>. Think about this and then please follow the tips below:
- Start a sentence
- Finish a sentence
- <b>Add a full-stop (period)</b>
As per the spelling thing and gramma thing, it will never happen.

Lol. Obviously you're not otherwise you wouldn't be posting 99999999999999999999*9999999999999999999999999 images that look really bad. Just start making it in hammer, jeez.
just did one at the weekend and it got really good. but its hard for people to tell what is what.
my sketches end up in the trash can after Im done with the location. thats why ma place is allways tidied up <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Please try and make things easy for other people to understand, the impression I get from this thread is a bunch of randomly placed ideas written badly and it's very hard to get a clear idea of what it is you are trying to achieve without attempting to decipher your writing/drawing. I know you can do it, just put in the effort will ya? Noone will respect a lazy writer.
Back on topic some, I hope you're not intending to submit this as an official map because I don't think NS is the place for Mechs. They just don't suit the style of the game.
yeah ill clean up the thread, yes ill redo the picks in MS paint, no they werent scans they were from a digital camera
due to the feed back, i think, people are genuinly interested, unless there being big note know it all **** - no offence to those who genral are and arnt being in this situation, or never are and arnt in this situation, so ill make a genuine effort to fix this mess up
hum there not mechs as in huge combat things, in fact they will just be a world entite no entrance to c0ck pit or any thing, just something to build a frame of skafe holding around and to fit with the storyline, there just ragther large up right greadgers, but with legs instead of wheels or tracks
EDIT: Started ms paint top-o, will do more tomorrow, in the rine start area, cheack first page for edited pic
