I'm kooking up some more stuff for the map all the time <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> in fact I just finished the Door sign (it was just a simple manipulation)
Identify **** that is really complex and make a world model to replace it. That should help a bit. I'm making a bunch of world models right now so you can throw in what you want.

There's a goodie for you hidden in the sticky threads... <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
I used the plane remover <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> it works, but i'm still way to high.
aww, well its too late I've started over <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> so far this is the marine spawn <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> I got alot of work with the lighting still, but Its going the way i wanted it, I will still have that funky kafiteria accept It will be less killer on the R_speeds and be more useful ingame <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
some things, the command chair is INSIDE the Orion (that open door to the left) there is ONLY one way in, ACCEPT the room is to small for major building, so sure go for turrets, but the factory don't fit <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> (made sure of it), and the door is not buildible on so you can't seal up the room.
ohhh I DO need some basic world models, I need infestation, some varation ones for the floor (demensions can be up to you I'll find places for them), they need to like fit by them selves though so they need to basicly work on a flat floor. Then i need some for the walls, and some for the ceilings. Also! I need lots of little basic things, for places like the Locker Room, the Eating area, the kitchen, and the Security Area. ON top of that I need basic things that you'd see around a semi-cruise research ship, so anything you want to think of (lots of things to go in a lab? perhaps). Don't worry alot about textures, I got that part coverd if you export to .mdl with a basic texture I can work it nicely.
in all seriousness, the lighting DOES suck <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> and i'll be SURE to use the datapad (had it already though) But i'm prolly going to retexture it a bit ... :S
anyways anything else you cook up, Give it to me, I'm sure to use it and prolly others want it too <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
map 50% done and reached maxmapplanes.. I had the same problem but my map was 35% done wich showed me that im a mapping newb. but with some "plane reduction routines" i spared 20% of planes (wich would be cut with the compression tool) + 10% of planes by making map parts more planar.
well I was about 20% done and I Probebly could have saved it, But it wasn't REALLY following what I wanted... This map is much better so far, its got the theme I wanted, just need to work in my lighting dept.
Another Problem, HOW do i disable the NS Ambient Music?? I want to have the music I've selected to play (from an mp3 entity) So I don't want the NS music playing (my music fits SOO much better for my map.)
Bump. Hows the map going bitmap? I really love the looks of what you've done so far, and look forward to seeing the new version of rift <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
I'm workin on it accept I'm taking a break from the interweb and Hanging out with my girlfriend and her family instead, It just seems more social, so ya'know It works <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> But I hope too have something new to show soon.
The real-life factor strikes again. Get this guy to a computer stat! (j/k)
Enjoy the time with your girlfriend, much more important than a map. Sides you probably need to make up for all that time you missed making the first run through of the map <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

alright BP, I'm not always on my computer, but you can email it to me at Timgauthier@shaw.ca and I am workin on the map slowly... I'm just never home, I don't think everyday is to much to spend with her. but I guess her parents do so That might mean more at home time.
