The aliens have infested the power core that drives the marines teleportation equipment. Marines goal is to destroy the infestation and re-activate their gear. The aliens just want to kill the marines like usual. Submitted to NS team.

    To be honest its worth it. Ask Flayra to reply if he is testing the map. If he don't reply, you can immedietly assume he had no interest in it, and try for the next version (2.2 or 3.0 who knows!).

    Also the visuals in this map is stunning. However I find it a bit cramped, tiny and too complex. So many doors to open, an Onos would barely be able to move around the map aswell. Personally make another map based around the theme of this, make it larger and remove alot of the doors. I especially like the hive and the marine spawn. Keep them, or adapted versions of them. Never heard of you before now ProStyle, seem like a good level-designer. Look forward to more maps from you.

    Yeah I agree. You should have more space to walk on. It should be so atleast two marines could walk next to each other.
    I don't know if it's just the gamma that is low but it's a little too dark. Marines wouldn't have a chance spotting hiding skulks.

    Edit:
    Newermind... The space is wider that it looked like on the images and is alot brighter in game.
    It looks good but could be a little bigger and i have never been a fan of lifts in a NS map.

    FIX THE TEXTURES ON THE CRATES PLZ ....sry for all caps, but they really destroy the enitire map everything looks so sweet but why does the crates look like that?

  • ProStyleProStyle Join Date: 2003-11-13 Member: 22789Members
    Thanks for all the great feedback guys. I have updated the map with half the lifts removed, most of the doors removed, and addition of a simple vent system in the curved hall. Also, the box textures have been tweaked - they were left untouched before.

    One big problem:

    The bast logo is the bast logo and shouldn't be used in other maps.

    Other then that is looks nice, dark and skulk friendly mapy too dark overall, just worried about beginning marines gettin pwnd too much.

    Ok, I just ran around in the map with a jp for a little while and found two things that could cause problems in real play. One, marine start is impossible to attack as an onos, plain and simple, he will be slaughtered. In fact, unless I'm completely blind, I believe there's only one entrance to ms, and that's a big problem. It's way too easy to defend, marines can just camp there and get easy xp. And once they've got enough xp they can get jet packs, which brings me to problem two. The hive is WAY to jp frienldy. There are random ledges for jps to chill on, it's fairly open, there's that pipe in the middle that really doesn't block a jp at all. One jp could live for quite awhile and completely enrage the aliens. In other words, this is a marine dominance map, as far as I can tell.

    Things I like: Love the way the pipes go from the sewer to the ms, very cool detail. The corridors b/w ms and the hive are fairly cool, the atmosphere is nice in them, and there are advantageous spots for both jp and skulks. The ready room is very cool, and fits the feeling of the map perfectly.

    A suggestion I have: put the weldable on the other side of that wall. Otherwise that will be welded within one minute of the game starting, no doubt. Make it a challenge to get to that weldable spot and thereby get another passage to the hive.

    Updated version! Recently found time to re-work marine spawn and improve gameplay flow greatly as well as drop speeds plus improve the look of the sewer, among other things.

    Simply stunning, I'm blown away by this map!

    I love the infestation throughout, the heavy ambience and particle system use and the locations such as the gorgeous hive and top-notch Ready Room.

    However, have you compiled with the correct hull file? I occasionally get odd clipping artifacts at certain parts of the map; as if I've run into an invisible wall.

    I really hope this is put into NS 3.0; it certainly deserves to be there.

  • ProStyleProStyle Join Date: 2003-11-13 Member: 22789Members
    The hull file issues seem to bother me a bit as well. I downloaded XP-Cagey's tools to experiment and see if it would help remove some of the bugged walls (people getting stuck in them alot) and it helped greatly but added a few extra clip nodes. There is a better setting I can use that makes it really wonderful everywhere except for one area that it totally blocks off - subsequently killing the functionality of half the map. Bluh. So far the only issues that remain are small clip areas like Tequila mentioned and the Onos issues (which I hope may be negated by the updated bounding boxes for players). Time will tell.

    Did you compile it with the nshulls.txt, because every time I try to evolve into an onos I get stuck in the floor,m which is usually a result of using the default hl hull file. This could also result in other kharaa and marines getting stuck in places.

    To compile with the nshulls.txt just add "-hullfile <half-life path>/ns/nshulls.txt" to your csg.

    Wow, that was a BIG thing I was missing there - Thank you SO much Tseepra (and Tequila.. damn i'm slow)! Even though I feel retarded, that was the root of all the problems with the map so kudos for fixing them for me... lol <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Massive Update. Re-textured alot of areas (infested terminals, readyroom, etc) tweaked textures in others. Added about 6 alien vents to increase their mobility and chances for ambush and make it feel more like an NS map. Added heavy damage effects around these pipes and their exits/entrances. Info_locations are in all areas now! Happy fragging in named rooms - w00p!

    The pipes are great, and the alien vents seem cramped and alien made...which creates alot more mood.

    Huge Update. After testing with some more Vets/Beta players it was clear a more direct route was needed as well as a main centralized combat area besides the hive and marine spawns. Resubmitted to Flayra. Lot of work put into this... going to take a break for a while and go back home tomarrow.
