<div class="IPBDescription">The big ship</div> NS_Voyager

Still in planing, working on basic layout.

Havin prob with steam, so no testin unless i reinstall old steam, which i dont want to do.

The map will be really long and fairly wide, aliens will have hive in Docking Bay 1, Docking Bay 2, and Warp Room.

Marine Start will be in the bridge, wich will be pretty big. The bridge will be able to be "Locked Down" from the inside. Noone can go in or out while in "lockdown".

If anyone has a suggestion or a way to fix the "filesystem dll" error, its very welcome.

Once i get it working in steam ill include some pics.

    yeah, I used to watch it.

    Moya was Alive....
    Great idea to adopt into NS.

    The ship could be the Alien ship ( well taken over it)..and Marines have boarded...
    E.g. Alien ...when Lambert, Dallas and kane go onto the ship...

    The ideas are endless for an alien ship.

    I don't think Voyager would make a good map, unless you placed it all on one deck. Here's why:

    1) NS:O can't handle floors above floors. Voyager's compact structure means it just won't work with more than one deck (Bridge is ABOVE deck 2)

    2) Even if you work out the floors above floors issue, your only access between them will be either turbolifts (elevators) or ladders. Too cramped to make good access between decks.

    3) You're either going to have to make all your textures from scratch, which is a bigger job than the map itself, or steal them from Elite Force 1, which is copyright infringement.

    ontopic though: your best bet would be to somehow only incorporate certain locations and keep the tunnels to a minumum (turbolifts?). I dunno how'd you do it unless you want to be really inaccurate or just cheat, but it's hard to do that with a commander view...

    Make multiple floors on the horizontal plane on thier own (far enough apart to prevent seige) and then make teleport areas so that the turbolift teleports people, odd but it could work...

    Kind of off-topic, but I did a google image search for "Elite Force 1." The textures don't look to be worth stealing. I mean, look at this:
    <a href='http://articles.dailytelefrag.com/eng/reviews/2000/11/02/elite_force/1.jpg' target='_blank'>http://articles.dailytelefrag.com/eng/revi...ite_force/1.jpg</a>

    <a href='http://images.fragzone.se/albums/startrek_elite_force_2/aah.jpg' target='_blank'>http://images.fragzone.se/albums/startrek_...force_2/aah.jpg</a>

    And that last screenshot is clearly using Evil's Q3 textures. This can't possibly be a commercial game. It's a mod, right?

    Umm, none of your screenshots are actually from the part of the game where you're on voyager, the map we're discussing, so none of your screenshots have the textures we're discussing.

    Nobody has made (to my knowledge) Starfleet-related textures for a Half-Life map. You can't get around the fact that mapping Voyager would require 99%+ custom textures.

    Granted i like "star trek voyager" but its only the name. I may make some turbolifts(unaccessable) maby a crawl space (forgot real name) for getting around. Lockdown will work, 3 fast doors 2 slow ONLY for the bridge. if everyone dies in the bridge and its locked down, sorry, but you aint gettin in. im like .1% done, little detail but the bridge is as far as i am. and a very basic ready room that will need some work. overall im in the layout stage now

    I still say lockdown would be a bad idea without a major alien advantage to root out campers. No matter what, no res nodes directly inside the lockdown protected area...

    This could also be a good co_ map, good luck with your mapping though <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    As long as you don't put in anEMERGENCY SELF DESTRUCT button which make chakotay say "What the...!" and then *boom*, i think this could be a fun map.

    Make sure to have a lot of room with cargo holds, teleport pads, goeffreys tubes for the skulks.. etc.

    Better yet, use the messhall for the marine spawn.

    Hive 1 : cargo bay 1
    Hive 2 : shuttle bay
    Hive 3 : main engineering

    *edit* as for the lockdown, screw it.. but make a few control panels weldable and which activates FORCE FIELDS to block vents and what not!

    I'm not a trekker or anything but I think they're called Jefferie's Tubes or something like that. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    The key isn't the simple architecture, its the fact that the details work

    Examples:
    Working doors (works both by button and by motion, but some by button only)
    Jefferies tubes with the ladders/doors (some require manual opening thru use of a handle nearby)
    Weldable areas, such as a forcefield generator
    Destroyable areas, such as power conduits
    Damaged areas (eg: you walk into a room, door closes behind you and then the forcefield fails, sucking you into space)

    General details that make the ship seem like it is the ship. Don't place unneccessary items around to clutter the view

    That's 'nostromo', not nostradamos... WTH...

    Also, you should read up on a handy tool called "Punctuation".

    If someone made the Heart Of Gold into a map, that would make for some interesting gameplay. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    From Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy series of books. It's powered by the Improbability Drive. Hard to explain, but imagine things that are completely improbable, and they tend to happen in the engine and around the ship. Like, two missles are fired at it, and they turn into a Sperm Whale and a Bowl of Petunias, while the cockpit of the ship got a redesign that matches someones garden <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    So what would the major chokepoints be?

    Cargo bay - hive location (right above Seven's regeneration thingies)
    Main engineering - double res?
    Sickbay, transporter room, holodeck - res node
    Messhall - res node or hive location
    Shuttle bay - hive
    Astrometics - res or hive

    etc etc
