New Map In Progress

Totoro_Hunter

<div class="IPBDescription">Ns_bgh</div> Just started a new ns map, loosely based on the layout of BGH from starcraft, any suggestions would be helpfull, and ill try to get some screenies up within the week

Repeat after me...

NATURAL SELECTION...

IS NOT...

STARCRAFT!


Thus, maps should be totally original... although nobody can stop you from making it, it certainly won't get considered for official inclusion. But, if you really want to make a StarCraft knockoff for some deluded reason, good luck anyways. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

sure, but some of the sounds are ripped from it or at least sounds nearly exactly the same and besides i said following that layout, it wont be an exact copy, its going to be more of a space station theme

Closey

No sounds were ripped from Starcraft. Sounds that sound similar to ones from games/movies is because they purchased a proffesional sound effects library that is used in both movies and games.

KungFuSquirrel

The female voice actor in NS did voices for Starcraft. That could be another reason you hear similarities.

Closey

Really?

Neat <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

I was watching this really bad film with Leslie Neilson in it, called 'Dracula: Dead and Loving It.' There was this scene where he climbs through the window, and the sound effect for him opening the window was IDENTICAL to the one used in NS for when the Marines spawn. No joke!

Please forgive me for associating NS with Dracula: Dead and Loving It.

There are no sounds in all of NS that are ripped from SC. Period. Flayra has spent hundreds of dollars on sound library's and sfx people to modify and improve sounds, be a bit more grateful.

Now dont u feel just silly for critizising the man who gave us NS..


Still to this day, I do not understand the complaining people.

God created Flayra

Flayra created NS

NS replaced God

Ns rules the world <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Well Flayra wasted hundreds of bucks then! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

He could of just hired HELLCHICK @ <a href='http://www.planethalflife.com/voxfeminae/' target='_blank'>http://www.planethalflife.com/voxfeminae/</a>

Necro

doubt she's as good as <b>professional sound peeps</b>

BlackPanther

She IS a professionnal voice actress.
She worked on quite a few mod projects.

she even did the voices for AHL and Urban Terror

And if you use Gamespy arcade, she's the intro! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

ok, im wrong, im not knocking the game, its a great game and the team has done alot of great work

WingWangMan

BGH? Well that takes out a lot of the strategy, such as expanding and holding resource towers while taking down theirs. BGH in Starcraft was the bane of all maps... build for an hour, attack for an hour.... now that's what I call boring......

Tgire

BGH in SC was the dumbest map ever. And like idiots, people clambered to play it. Now almost all SC games on Bnet are BGH.

If you have any common decency, don't screw up NS by making this map.

BiTMAP

face it people are idiots and want maps that take no skill...

Bouncy

give him a break guys... you guys say ns is not sc... so whats wrong with making the map... think about it your right they are both different so even if the maps were the same the way u play them wouldnt be... i say go for it mate dont let these cynical **obscenity** ruin it for you

Moebius

I dont think it would be that exciting, because in starcraft you have a chance of getting more people than the other person before he doesn... but in NS you have the same amount no matter what, seems to me like a "BGH" map would be a big huge long stalemate that would last hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours.. and more hours. PLUS BGH is outdoors and there is to be NO outdoor maps because then commander makes no sense unless you are completely ignorant.

I dont see why everyone seems to harp on CS and SC whenever someone wants to bring up an idea that is similar to thiers, both are great games, CS was and is revolutionary and fun its team based tactical shooting . SC was the next command and Conquer. and they both have heavy influances on this game. BGH is not a ban on SC, its a blessing for the players who just want to have some carnal destruction, building for that hour gives you the hour of pure viceral joy as you and your enemys shred each others armys. NS is niether game, but that doesnt mean you cant learn from thier successes, obviously people enjoy them in droves for a reason and incorporating some of thier drawing power into NS can only lead to a fuller, and probably healthier community.

please be sure to tell field commanders that they make no sense except for the completely ignorant. Outdoor maps are discouraged because they dont fit the designers vision, that doesnt mean they cant be done in character, overhead view? how about satalite uplink? Teleporting items from thin air? Orbital drop support, able to materialize small inanimate objects but the more complex the better homeing tech required (hence ranges from armorys and in the case of marines designated pads) nano nodes? underground current taps, sorta like cutting into a modern day powerline, only in an underground network. Its not hard to come up with good explanations to support outside maps, but its not what the devs want, and it would make things real hard on the aliens (what with flat line of sight and few hiding spots.)
