<div class="IPBDescription">Got one?</div> <span style='color:red'>WE HAVE CHANGED OUR COLLECTIVE MINDS
WE WILL START RUNNING THESE MAPS NOW
MAPCYCLE IS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST</span>

We love new maps! We have just finished our FUN map contest and it was a blast! But I know some mappers have spent alot of time on their maps and they never get played. Well heres your chance. Our server generally stays full because of the new maps we try. Fun maps or serious maps, we are always looking for new ones. We just got bored with the 7 offical maps. Alien is a great movie, but how many times can you watch it without getting bored?

So with the release of 2.0 coming on July 30th for the server files and July 31st for the client files, we will be setting aside July 29th and July 30th for just UNOFFICAL SERIOUS MAPS. Yep, thats right! No siege or FUN maps. Heres your chance to get yours played. There are some rules though. Here they are:

#1 We will accept only 12 maps. 10 of them will be the first 10 submitted in this post. The other two will be set aside for Ollj and ChromeAngel. They each have 1 reserved map spot. Why? Because without their help I would have never been able to make a map.

#2 Your map must be in working order with all the needed files. Including a .res file. Dont know how to make a .res file? I will include a link to one at the end of this post. Download it, open it with notepad or some other word editor and rename it to your map name. If you mess it up, I will fix it, just as long as you try.

#3 Only 1 map per mapper!


#4 Sometime on July 30th, when I get the 2.0 release, I will be pulling the maps off the server. So they will not run for a full 48 hours, just until I can get my hands on 2.0.


#5 If I put your map on our server and it crashes or dose not run correctly, it will be yanked off the server and the next map, #11, will be added. So make sure your map is in working order. You only get one chance.
That means if you see 10 maps submitted here, still submit yours. If one of the 10 dosnt work, the next in line will get its spot. And just maybe we will add all the maps submitted to the server for the last day, July 30th. No promises, its alot of work for me to add all the maps to the server and rotation.

Why are we doing this? Its our way of saying thanks to all you mappers. Without you we would be stuck with just 7 maps to play. I dont think NS could survive on just 7 maps.

Submit away!

The res file is <a href='http://www.deadclan.net/ns_yourmapname.res' target='_blank'>HERE</a>. Just replace youmapname or yoursound or yourmodel with the correct path and name of your file. No need to include the .bsp


MAPS ACCEPTED:
#1 ns_napo
#2 ns_colony_v1
#3 ns_alamo
#4 ns_hydrosity
#5 ns_fenris
#6 ns_karnak
#7 ns_thief3

    now... i could rerelease a old version of ns_napo (b4) just because i have to add a resource file, or i get over it and wait for the release of 2.0 and release b5 (for wich i dont have a name yet). One more problem, i dont have a host where i could host the ns_napo with resource file. For ns_napo without resource file, look at my sig

    The res file may be sent to me via email. It does not need to be included in the map download. I just dont want to have to write all the res files. [EDIT] A .res file should ALWAYS be included in any map release. Unless it has just a .bsp It really helps the server operators[/EDIT]
    Send it to res@deadclan.net

    i could send you the .res file (im not 100% shure that its done right) but atm i can only find mirrors with a exe version of my map. and i think this isnt very good for you.

    my res file looks like that, i have no idea what a res file is and how it works, but all files are included

    sprites/minimaps/ns_napo.spr
    maps/ns_napo.txt

    Hi,

    Here is the link to my map, but I already played it once on your server (and had a good feedback from the players and the admins) so you must have all the files. This is a serious map:

    <a href='http://www.at-direct-from-france.com/cs/ns/mapping.html' target='_blank'>Link to download ns_alamo full version</a>

    Thanks in advance

    UPDATE:
    Confused, Im confused. this is your res file but in your map download you dont have any .mdl or .wav files. I looked for them in the b245 file in your briefcase and they are not there either. All I can find are the .bsp and .wad files.

    confused.wad
    models/b_resource_nozzle.mdl
    models/hive.mdl
    sprites/haze.spr
    sound/fans/fan2.wav
    sound/ambience/wind2.wav
    sound/ambience/lobeep1.wav
    sound/ambience/wind3.wav
    sound/ambience/lowsteam.wav
    sound/ambience/klaxon.wav

    Your map will not run without these files. It crashes the server. ns_confused_b246 has been pulled from the server. All the other maps run.


    MOUSE, ns_hydrosity .res file was missing the .wad file. I fixed it and have it up. Add the line:
    ns_hydrosity.wad
    to your res file and it will be complete. Its a good idea to alwasy add a .res file to your map download. The server operator is more likely to add your map to his cycle if he dosnt have to write the res files. Less work for him. Thank you for trying!

    Oh yeah, the maps are running now. Our current map cycle is in the first post. I just keep editing it.

    4 slots still open..........we need more maps.

    Thank you VERY much scott for adding my map in your list. It's great to try your map with real players, it allows you to have a REAL judgement of your map and what should be changed........ There is nothing better for a new mapper like me to increase your level.

    So far I have had some good feedback about it and good advices <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> If you know any other server that could help me that would be just great.

    Thanks again SCOTT

    NS_Thief is still in the early beta stages, lacks details and clearly has some balance problems to be corrected (seems to favour aliens).

    Here's some screenshots of ns_thief in action (may give you a clue to why it was named that way)

    The boxy, overbright, exposed, marine start room

    hmm i notice that one of the hive rooms looks like engine room, one of those corridoors looks like its outside powersilo, overall its very good, but just needs touching up textures in marine base and some darker areas.
