Engine Test. More maps?

Papayas

The engine test is promising even though the gun sounds bug up and it crashes...

I can't really test this game if the only maps I can play are Range #1 and Range #2...
I need another map or something so I can really see the graphics and how the game will work. Also what the Hive looks like and other important aspects of this game.

It does have a few bugs but there is another forum to post them onto isn't there?

The engine test wont be updated anymore, it was just an engine test after all and not an alpha...

I feel the (real) alpha will be coming really soon however, the tweets look promising.. ;)

Seconded, waiting on alpha from last summer no prevail. To opener, theres a simple bug fix in get satisfaction for firing bug.

I think it is possible to mount other maps already, if anyone has one worth showing feel free to add link here, I too would be interested.

Coming straight from hl1/source mapping, I'm a little uncomfortable throwing my map source at everyone.
Not sure how other mappers feel, but eventually one has to release, of course.

There was some discussion about protecting the map source in ns2 a long time ago, can't remember though :/

I'd feel honored if anybody felt my crap work was of sufficient quality to be copied :P I guess when your better your perspectives change. Also i've downloaded so much stuff now that i've actually come to catogorise stuff as "not even worth to pirate". I'd hate it if my map was that bad :p

Besides that, we've got like 8-9 maps posted on the forums working off the same props set that was made specifically for the tram map posted the other day, which probably recieved a milder reception because of that. So technically speaking where all already ripping off :p

The engine test was always about engine performance, not testing game design. They're focusing their time on the alpha now, I guess the remaining bugs aren't serious enough to be worth a patch. Hopefully it will be better optimized though, I don't relish the idea of playing a proper game of NS with the engine test's performance.

I know that the engine test was a the performance on the Engine but isn't my game crashing connected to the Engine?
