More Signs Of Humans

<div class="IPBDescription">more atmoshphere</div> I think it would be cool if there could be a corpse, some blood, unmade beds and other stuff in maps to give a feeling that there has been humans here once upon a time. I noticed that the map atomic mass has a pic with papers and a coffee cup on the floor, things like that adds atmosphere.

Here Harry S.truman feel free to add this one to my "long spewing list of very poor suggestions."

And yes, I will add this quote to every idea I post, dont worry

    The gore issue has been discussed so many times it's not even funny. So I'm just going to say that Flayra does not want gore in NS. And he's not going to change his mind about it.

    You can do this sort of thing without gore.

    Little things that make the hair stand up on the back of your neck. The spilt cup, the scattered papers, a discarded childs toy, a lost shoe, an un-eaten meal, the un-finished chess game, a door being slammed by the wind...

    It's what you don't see, what is implied by these things that makes them scary.

    Add to that flickering lights, creaking floorboards, dripping pipes, hissing steam, the flicker of lightening through the window.

    If you have time, patience, talent and free resources to implement these you will scare the hell out of me.

    I just think that this comment was mistaken for sarcasm, Justin. People are touchy in here right now (no, we don't need another new post telling us this), and it's easy to misinterpret text.

    On to the comment, yes they can decide what you can and can't have in your map - if it's going to be official. If not though, they obviously can't. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    And as far as the main topic goes, yes definitely what ChromeAngel said.

    In Scithi, I'm hoping to have unmade barracs, sheets dragged to the floor, maybe a blown engine room.

    Can I take something very heavy and club this guy over the head repeadetly? "Can WE ban this guy.." As if youre more special
    than I am

    Anyway...Back to the topic yes it was a serious question. I was a bit surprised because I thought that developing teams of mods usually lets third party mappers, skinners,whatever do what they want. I just assumed it after playing a dod map called legoisland, using cs-skins like ronald mcdonald and a trout as knifeskin etc. That isnt exactly ww2 or counterterrorism-atmosphere is it? Nevertheless I didnt know that the developing teams cared about this.
    But fair enough, if thats the deal thats the deal. Personally I think there should be gore but thats just my opinion.

    If you want to make people really nervous in certain spots, you have normal back ground sounds suddenly stop...so theres no sound at all in that area (such as in a barracks or the like, where its closed in, dim lighting, and plenty of places for aliens to hide). Just making it so it goes from haing SOME sounds to non can freak the crap out of a lot of people if done right. Something i'm incorperating into my map <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Agree to disagree... this isnt a place to flame... its a mapping forum.

    If you dont have something constructive to say really... its usually best not to say it.

    Though on occasion I have been guilty... honestly people time to grow up.

    Well I agree I usually dont flame or say anything insulting but I think that if someone insults you or is unfair you must be entitled to retaliate as long as you dont go too far. The alternative is to say nothing, and then it seems like you agree what with the other guy said or that you dont care if someone insults you, basically it seems like you dont have any self-respect at all.

    Just bite your tongue... be the bigger man (woman?)
  • Justin_CaseJustin_Case Join Date: 2002-08-08 Member: 1114Members
    I dont believe in that crap actually about being a bigger man by letting people take punches at you. Actually I read that scientists have determined that the need for revenge is something everyone is born with. I say dont fight nature <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I do think a little gore would be cool, like seeing human skeletons slightly protruding from the hive walls (like in aliens), or maybe a corpse in the vents, just to keep the creepiness factor up. Too bad Flayra doesn't agree <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
