What Was The Intended Name For Noname?

Tweedle · February 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">The search, it did nothing!</div> Calling it noname sort of ruins the atmosphere ..

Talesin · February 2003

Mother.

ZiGGY · February 2003

didnt this exact same thread happen yesterday?

Sevendashseven · February 2003

If we don't watch out we'll soon see a followup about how the area outside Subspace is named Mother as well.

And soon we'll have yet another followup saying it's Mother INTERFACE, not Mother HIVE.

28 days later...

"1.1 is out!" "Really?! PLEASE TELL ME THEY FIXED NANCY HIVE NAME!!!"

Talesin · February 2003

Meh... more like 'PLEASE TELL ME THEY FIXED THE NANCY VENTS!' Those things are in SEVERE need of a total reskin, and clip-brushes EVERYWHERE.

Ph0enix · February 2003

I'm guessing from the hive it means Mother as in a computer. Hance Mother interface as well.

I still remember the first time this came up in a game.

Gorge: Wheres the third hive ?
Me: (thinks nOOb) just look on hive sight it shows up on it.
nOOb Gorge: where ?
Me: It's a white circle.
nOOb Gorge: I know that! Can't see another.
Me: (actually bothers to look for the first time).....well bugger me....where is it ?
not-a-nOOb gorge: thats what i've been sayin!!

That game dragged on for ages because we couldn't find that damn hive. We'd wonder across it every now again by accident and then try and remember where the hell it was. This was back in 1.0 and my first time on Nancy

lol, the phatom hive! ahh!

maybe the mapper who made it should say what he wanted it to be named <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>..

John

[FACT] - i give only factual information

Ollj · February 2003

My map will have a hive called "Noname Hive"

0range · February 2003

if they ever fix it they should name it "No-name" or "nameless"

if it was named anything else i dont think i could adjust!

SoBe_Dragon · February 2003

i'm pretty sure i've heard it called Mother or Mother Hive before. On our server its "No name"

Church · February 2003

Our server? Dragon, Sobe has a server?

Oh btw, who is still active in SoBe anyway besides you and lightling? Lightling never posts here for some reason.

It should be named: Marines@Here!

Fam · February 2003

It was known as Mother Hive. I still call it Mother hive.

I once got called a "n00b" because I called it Mother Hive instead of Noname, which tickled my funny bone a little.

MooMan · February 2003

Aye - that hive caused SO many problems in the first weeks of NS lol.

I remember going gorge first time, and i just COULDNT find the hive, it was SO funny.

Everyone was wondering, and someone shouted out to our team :

"OMG u n00bs, look there is NO NAME, so there is NO third hive!!!!!!!!"

He was an alien <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

The annoyingly funny thing was I believed him <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

Oh, Talesin, DONT insult the mappers, they worked DAMN hard for the maps, and have done a fine job, so what if there are a few things wrong, it doesnt mean u point it out.........

I'm not insulting, I'm simply stating that the vent system needed a lot more attention paid to it. A lot of the vents are seemingly designed to be unable to be entered without learning the 'secret' route inside.. something I've taken the time to learn, but something that frustrates me when I'm leading a three-Skulk offense team and they can't follow me through a ceiling or wall vent because it projects, is inset over the top of an angled ceiling, is in the top of a corridor with a pair of pipes on either side...
Also, the textures simply don't line up. They *do* need work. What's better... pointing it out, or keeping quiet and ignoring it? I vote for the former.

I understand how much work it put into them. But it doesn't mean that you can't bring up the part they did kinda a half-a**ed job on.

humbaba · February 2003

I still call it Mother hive. Nobody ever knows that Im talking about on servers . . . sob.

Lindstrom · February 2003

Honestly this is the first time I've heard ppl complain about noname, I guess it never bothered me before. I've heard Mother every now and then but thats about it.

folk · February 2003

once they fix it, i'm putting in nameless. gg titles.txt

newbie: Whats this hives name?

me: noname

newbie: I know I cant see the name, what is it?

me: Noname!

newbie: dude... i know

SoulSkorpion · February 2003

It seems that down under it is, was, and always will be "noname".

Let me tell you, it's not nearly as much of a problem as not knowing what your teammates mean by "red room" <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

that just made my evening

TheHornet · February 2003

i've made it natural for me to call it the mother hive after i learned thats the real name.

SoulSkorpion · February 2003

How exactly did it not end up called mother hive in the released version?

Talesin · February 2003

The mapper forgot to label it, and it was released. A lot of maps get playtested without area/Hive names, and they aren't dubbed with their locators until shortly before release. Wasn't realized until after release had gone through, that it was missing the label.. too late for a recall/re-issue, just has been left that way.

we call it 'unnamed', and i actually like that more then noname or nameless...

and maybe the mapper didnt want it to have a name? Why does it need a name?

That reminds me from a scene from "Dude, where's my car?" but that's for a different time and place.

Most players will call it No-Name. Some will call it Mother hive, or just mother. Both are (technically) correct.

I spent an entire game trying to explain that No-Name actually *does* have a name. "I'm securing Mother, send backup"

"you're securing what now?"

same game
"which hive should we attack"
"I vote Mother, they don't have as much def there"
"where's Mother?" "Mother? wtf is that?"

The problem was with the final build of the map. All the way through playtesting it had its Mother tag, and all of the maps played had their locators the whole way through testing. Probably just an info_location problem with the release version.

Don't blame me, I had no internet access for the last month of playtesting. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>
