Ns_rift (update)

BiTMAP · January 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">aboard the USC Kadach</div> <i>A lonely Vessel along the outer rift, drifting lazily along the space winds. Its outer hull lights glowing like lights at twilight, these images put the crew of of Orion Drop ship into a calmed state of mind. The task before them was still a looming one, Kahaar had infested the USC Kadach, and they were there to reclaim it. It wasn't very often that the TSA was sent to do jobs for private Companies, but the United Space Command was willing to pay a large price. Looking out the window the ship taking up most of the view. Soon the sounds of the hull cutters would be heard as the Orion clipped its way into the hull of the Kadach. Then they would deploy securing the ship...</i>

First off, The name of the ship comes from my Girlfriend, Its kinda dedicated to her, second of all, THIS MAP IS NOT COMPLETE, and isn't very much further progressed then before... But i'm workin on it still. Here is some more shots, I'm actualy thinking of changeing alot of textures by recolours and some repaints.. so far I have a BIT of tiding work to do as i get 2 spots jumping to 1k R_speeds ( from 700) and some may be surprised but the detail, I'm surprised as well in how much i'm packing in and how much you can see at a time... should be a nice map... anyways heres some shots for all you who are still waiting <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

biofrog · January 2003

Oh my god it's beautiful! Awesome work BiTMAP

BiTMAP · January 2003

ahh thank you guys <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'> I'm working on some tweeking here and there and maybe even a new area started up... who knows what happens when i start mappin lol <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Windelkron · January 2003

dude, looking awesome.

the MS, though. that crate just seems... random. It's even blocking a computer screen. Take the crates out and fit some really interesting things in. (like more holograms)

eaglec · January 2003

Looks very nice. Let us know when it's ready to test.

BiTMAP · January 2003

crates came out of the Orion Boarding Craft (OCB <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'> LOL ) and are supplies... (plus they keep you from building anything there becuase it would cuase issues with command pod).

BlackPanther · January 2003

Impressive Bitmap.
You sure have come a long way! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

The custom holograms had a great feel to it but they don't seem to be emitting blue light like they should.

Still, great work!
Oh and you should rename it to Kafeteria! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'>

I can help with a few custom textures if you want. Ya know, with the ship's insignia/logo and such.

Med-bay should have special doors and have a more.."white" color scheme to make it really.. "medical" <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

BiTMAP · January 2003

alright, I have some work done on NS_rift but got me a leak and some really messed up stuff, so I'll fix it 2morrow and hopefuly get it working!

BlackPanther · January 2003

Well at least you know the leak is in the last place you changed stuff! hehe

Thats how i map.
Area by area.
NEVER change stuff in 2 different areas.
Always do a full compile after any changes.
I do it this way, and leaks have never again been a problem for me.

Cash_Car_Star · January 2003

That's absolutely excellent, I love the textures showing what the different rooms are.

ChromeAngel · January 2003

Neat holosigns. Do they animate? Nice medlab too.

MrBen · January 2003

Medlab i like.

BiTMAP · January 2003

hehe wow, nice to have some replies <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'> Medlabs going to most likely stay as it is, the recoloured textures look like tool... And The latest compile worked need to actualy see how the R_speeds are now though)

bicball · January 2003

Bow down to your god.

Sephiroth2k · January 2003

wow, looks great. i love the medilab, it actually looks and feels like a real facility, and at the same time feels futuristic.

MrBen · January 2003

The groove thing in the floor was what done it for me.

That groove, i'd put a grating over it, and put in lights under it.
Then, lower the ambient light level in the medlab, and stuck a flew flickering lights all around, and some dripping ooze sounds near a test tube filled with green goo.

Oh yes... That would really work! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

MrBen · January 2003

Just an interesting thing which i've not seen before....*me stills grooved floor.

*me also stils black panthers idea.

MeltedSnowman · January 2003

Great stuff. Can't wait to play this.

Epoch · January 2003

Beautiful. I want to play it.

sekdar · January 2003

looks like something you'd see in an <i>Aliens</i> movie.... incredible work there, cant wait for finished product <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'>

Eternal_Bliss · January 2003

funny thing is I just SAW the aliens movie way long time after that was made :O

and I'm going for a Offical map here, so if you run an NS server, you'll PROLLY run this <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'>

Also I'm going to hopefuly put some more time into the level, if my Simcity 3k city doesn't eat me again <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'> lol. I'm thinkin grates would ruin the look BP, and flickering lights would ruin the mood, Its got this chilling kinda like Frozen in time dealee going on in there, but i DEFINATLY need to lower the ambience a bit.

boobs! · January 2003

as you can see tiki loves the map so far, as do i. any chance we [ReD] guys could get some beat testing on the Skulk Pit? i swear ill let FW and some nubs in sYn play too <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'>
