    Woo, Steam got a reply to me just before I came home for the weekend! Monday I should have some new screenies up WITH the ship <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" /> THANKS KOUJI!

    Curious as to how you textured and modified that null textured clip hull <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

    Here we go. this is only a fast compile, and I have some lighting optimizations to do plus a bit of architectural bits to finish up. I hope to do something nifty with the back wall. I could also use some tips on the ship- a pain in the rump to do round bits with hamme when making funnel shapes XD

    I would like to welcome Zazi to the Judging panel!

    <u><b>The Bad News:</b></u>

    ~15 days until the deadline.

    <u><b>Other news:</b></u>

    Judging invitation has been closed. 5 Panel judges means a contestant could reach a maximum score of 315 points.

    Kitt: Kinda worries me that your Screenshots are named NSReadyroom.... lol ?

    Mirrored Kitt's screens on the blog. Updated the Judges.

    ER, doh. Kinda, named it wrong... didn't I... lol.

    Should be NS_MarineStart XD Will fix in the final build.
  • NaigelNaigel Join Date: 2003-07-23 Member: 18376Members, Constellation
    Hmm, seems like every time I build a marine start it comes out ugly. I'm trying to meet the deadline. I hope to post screenshots soon.

    + 02, 03

    Lighting, brushwork and res node location subject to change.
    If this turns into an IPBimage for anyone, tell me.

    Still got a good eye for detail, steve. Like it :] PS I will reply to that PM I'm just sooo lazy :s nothing personal!
  • KittamaruKittamaru Join Date: 2006-09-18 Member: 58017Members
    Damnit all... I'm out. I got my new SATA hard drive in, so I put my old hard drive in my other PC, figuring it'd boot just fine. NOPE! Not only did it NOT boot, but in trying to self correct the problem (GG WINDOWS!) it scanned the hard drive, thought it found a virus, and reformated before I could stop it. Sonuva######.

    *sigh*

    btw im still down for this contest. I've sorta started mapping but its actually of the middle hive. But, good news is that ive done the pencil drawings for the full layout of MS and the nearby 3 nodes (the general layout has been done but many rooms are still only abstract concepts, not full drawn designs).

    So we'll see if i make the 31st deadly. I'm pretty quick once i actually have the designs, so we'll see.
  • ShenTraXShenTraX Join Date: 2003-11-10 Member: 22434Members, Constellation
    SteveR - nice Screenshot... almost Mineshaft-ish

    Kitt - Damnit man, Whattya windows 98? Seriously, sorry to hear about that. I've seen that heppen to a couple people....evil...
  • KittamaruKittamaru Join Date: 2006-09-18 Member: 58017Members
    Not all is lost- I am going to attempt a data recovery today.
  • StixNStonzStixNStonz Join Date: 2006-11-06 Member: 58439Members, Reinforced - Shadow
    So, a week left to go? I'll try to have some screens ready in another day or two...
  • MentarMentar Join Date: 2004-08-03 Member: 30321Members
    I'm just about done. Just screwing around with lighting
  • KittamaruKittamaru Join Date: 2006-09-18 Member: 58017Members
    I haven't been able to recover the data yet. My roomate is bringing a high-end (said it was twelve hundred bucks) data recovery program next week.

    *sigh* I guess I'll change this to be a hiveroom- certainly big enough <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

    Sweet, love the lights. I feel beaten xD
  • Shoot_meShoot_me Join Date: 2002-11-15 Member: 8696Members
    Wow, that is some REALLY cool lighting and architecture.

    Even though I'd be beat, I wish I saw this thread before starting my CO map.
  • MrBenMrBen ns_eclipse, ns_veil caretaker Join Date: 2002-11-14 Member: 8575Members
    Nice. It's got a good visual spark just don't get all mineshaft/shiva and put everything including the kitchen sink in, the balance looks nice right now. Whats your layout like?
  • chubbystevechubbysteve Join Date: 2002-10-14 Member: 1496Members, Constellation
    Cheers for the kind words! I think it's ready to submit but I'll keep working till the deadline. I want to get another node in roughly 12 seconds from the MS.

    Ben - concerning layout... I have not planned any of this, just started mapping for the contest. But if you draw a straight line with some boxes on it you have a rough idea of my layout.

    Not r_speed friendly...

    Although I'm trying to avoid high numbers, I figure r_speeds aren't that important 9 years on.

    The countdown continues, 3 days until the deadline.

    I would like to remind the contestants that we will need the complete map, files, rmf, logs, light data, wads etc zipped and mailed in no later than 11:59pm EST on Wednesday Jan 31st. (Wads NOT include are anything other than the norm; e.g. halflife.wad, ns.wad, and ns2.wad)

    PLEASE DO NOT POST your zip files in this forum. You may either send a link to me@shentrax.net, in a PM or simply email the zip. The finished <b>BSP</b> MAY be posted here, or I'll shuffle it around to all of the judges.

    The winner should be announced, with luck and cooperation of the judging panel, by the end of the weekend.

    We are currently taking entries for phase 2, which is slated to start Thursday, and ends Febuary 28th. Restrictions for this contest will be similar to Phase 1, with details to follow. Please post here if you will be interested in competing in Phase 2, First Hive.

    Still WIP and images were altered so they actually look like ingame (gamma and all).

    <img src="http://naigel.nl/images/ns_amp0007.jpg" border="0" alt="IPB Image" />

    I changed map 3 times... considering the time I have left, I figured I would stick with this. Hope you like it. I suppose I need to hand it in very very soon.

    I'm on the verge of releasing a huge update for my fully built map, Nexus. Even though i have quite a bit done for the MS of ns_stage, my contribution to this contest, theres a good chance it wont be screeny-ready by wednesday night. Can i still hand it in after and remain in the contest (for the later phases)?

    No one gets disqualified from other phases, each phase is a <u><b>whole new round</b></u>. Anyone can join/quit at any time.

    This is for everyones benefit.

    How much time are you needing? 24 hours (Thursday)?

    Its all good shen. I just did what i think is the final compile for nexus b3 lastnight (i finally managed to fit in a readyroom!), but not i need to fix the minimap. A friend is gonna show me around photoshop. I might still get in some time to map on Stage, but dont hold up the process for lil' ol' me.

    Deadline today, right? What time? I'm not good at timezones, only thing I know that it's 10AM now and I live in GMT+1 <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

    I'm currently not able to submit the map, I'm at work. But this evening you'll see my e-mail, Shentrax.

    Oh, and your last post: was that a positive comment or a negative comment <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" /> ?
