Ns_titanic

WarpZone · November 2002

<div class="IPBDescription">So preliminary it's not even funny.</div> Just thought I'd show you all a little something I'm working on before I head off for Thanksgiving:

(Crappy first attempt. Link removed.)

As you can see, I'm still experimenting with the style. Obviously, it needs more techno elements and stuff, but the theme is going to be a luxury cruise spaceship, and I hope that's srtating to come through a little.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Ohh.. titanic. Hey those textures look nice. You gotta have some techno stuff running through (broken wall panels?) and an 'engine room' or some sort (pipes glory). And the lighting better be really good to compensate for the abscence of creepy ns style.

haha wow this is really cool! Its fun to see that people are already starting to make a bit less serious maps. Im still looking for someone that can make de_dust but for ns. I already have a lot of it figured out, but Im not that mapper. You now bombsite b and a? They would obviously be big cargo holds, like the one in ns_hera. The underpass could be waterfilled, the terroristbase could be a hive. It would obviously have to be alrger than the original map tho.

Justin...my god.

Nice Idea for the map though WarpZone.

Angel · November 2002

nice idea. the idea has to be exploited just i think this belongs in a category of a "cs map" rather than ns. its the walls, it has good wood. but the material for the wallpaper just doesnt look like ns. continue it as a cs map. i am sure i will still play it <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'>

Battousaix · November 2002

I think thats a transport ship, or a funny map =P
but anyways it looks nice, those wooden textures look neato

moto43 · November 2002

Hey, that looks good. I dunno why everybody's against this being an NS map, after all even cruise liners are suseptable to Kharaa infestation.

Psycho-Kinetic_Hyper-Geek · November 2002

Its a little too clean, I'd suggest dirtying it up and add lots of bullet holes, burn marks torn panels realing wires, etc. Definately should do a lot of flickering lighting. A funct weldable could restore some of the lights. I can do some despoiled food models for a grand dinner room. Just PM me if you want any new models.

dust and dust remakes makes me sick, especially when seeing it in a different mod.

Cay · November 2002

I would like to see pulsing lights on this map, make the rooms very dark with lights that brighten, make the ship a derilict.

BiTMAP · November 2002

I'm thinkin if you went with slightly diffrent brushwork and some synthetic wood and then paneling it could and would look really good. Remember though even the titanic (HMS) had metal walkways and such and prolly could have felt kinda cluttered... Perhaps some coverd walkways around the outside would look very nice and add gameplay!

SentrySteve · November 2002

This really has no NS feel to it at all. Instead of making the ever so old and sunken titanic why not pretend that the TSA Marines remade. You could have it be one massive cruise-like ship!

BiTMAP · November 2002

thats what i thought he was doing??

You are so mean! To fisticuffs I say, have at you!

back off get your own thread!

.. have at thee too swine! Dost thou think thy canst take my personage in combat?

Just a note to all the moderators: <i>I don't mind a little bit of off-topic silliness cluttering up my thread.</i> <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'>

Uh, yeah, it's gonna be a cruise SPACESHIP. Thanks.

Obviously, I'm gonna techno it up. This is just a playful first draft using some mansion HL textures from the wadfather meets NS architecture. This is not even close to how it'll look, really. I will almost certianly scrap this architecture and start over entirely before the map is through. I just wanted some quick feedback on whether the idea would float or not. The community has not disapointed me, and feedback is as mixed as ever, which I always consider a good thing. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'>

Wish me luck, and if you have any specific suggestions, feel free to type them in.

P.S.

<a href='http://warpzone.cust.nearlyfreespeech.net/halflife/graphics/ns_titanic0002.jpg' target='_blank'>Here's my second attempt. I think it's much better; still needs more detail. </a>

Bouncy · November 2002

MUCH BETTER@!

RoyGBiv · November 2002

are you going to have it wrecked into a meteor or something?

BiTMAP · November 2002

well okay replace the marble with metal sheet, then the wood with perhaps some intricate metal work or plastics (this wood just isn't gritty and doesn't feel right) the floor needs to contrast ALOT it feels REALLY grey, and your ceiling if useing the same thing as the walls would be changed too, also have yellow lights (so a redish grey walls and such) and lots of spotlights along the walls. Perhaps in each of those alcoves put a locked door as well with a small keypad just to make it feel something... but its getting somewere now <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'>

Jedipunks · November 2002

Whats sad is people like him think playing CS is more important then breathing. Why must little kids rant on with CS? Was it really that great? Rainbow Six series outcome CS anyday.

My point, dont know, its 2 am, and I'm bored... dont' know what i'm typing...

Jedipunks · November 2002

oh, jobabob is an **obscenity**... just wanted everyone to know...

Director · November 2002

change the floor texture of the second picture and you got yourself a sweet map there. i like the idea. not all ships of the future are techy and wierd. take a look at Flauston Paradise from the Fifth Element <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'>

Jedipunks · November 2002

Nice movie Director. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'> <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'> <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

BiTMAP · November 2002

true that not all ships would be techy and weird, realisticly in the future, except the wall texture is WAY too underquality, and the map has no feel that fits with NS, I'm not SURE were it belongs, the top however were its open DOES fit, make it a vent entrance for the kahaar.

Okay I'm dont posting 2night! (member kids Posting in my Ns_rift thread makes me happy and If I'm happy then I post happy and insightful comments, so spam me thread about good things! and tell me how to make my map better!)

LordBrain · November 2002

Is there a chance to meet an infested Leonardo in your map ? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'>

Justin_Case · November 2002

Haha yeah that would be so cool, I would enjoy shooting him

WarpZone · November 2002

No. No Leonardo. No asteroid, either... although... maybe after the kharaa took over it could have run into one... But no, I want the kharaa to be the main catastrophe on board this good ship Titanic. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'>

Hang_Loose · November 2002

It took a while for the cleverness of this idea to sink in. I looked at the picture and was like... wood? wallpaper? Uhh... that's not NS... oh wait... wow, that's a really clever idea. A space liner, like the titanic. I'm very impressed, great idea...

Only thing is, I think the wallpaper is rancid, you might need a new interior decorator.

Otherwise, that's a really sweet idea. I can't wait to see more.

Hang_Loose · November 2002

Oh! That's purple marble!

Oooh... hmmm... cream marble would own in my opinion, give it more of a clean look... the flooring needs a bit of changing... and if there was only a bit of it, and it's on a secluded part of the map, you could try to attempt a pseudo reflection thing, I think that'd be sweet.

Sorry, had to look at the picture again, hehe, way too cool.
