Thief !

ChromeAngel

<div class="IPBDescription">ns_theif that is...</div> I've recently released a new map (more quietly than usual) called ns_thief, I haven't had much feedback so far, so I thought i'd make a topic to try and get some.

The latest version can be downloaded from NS World <a href='http://nsworld.ns-central.co.uk/Map.php?UniqueID=268' target='_blank'>here</a>

Here's some pictures to help you decide if you want to download.

1) the Marine Start, on the bridge

2) One of the corridors heading aft

3) The Power Core hive (I might decide to flood the lower area later)

4) The course archive (OK crappy name for a hive, give me something better)

Yes-t'is a very nice looking map indeed <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

My only problem would be that the hive names are a little.....unimaginative? Otherwise, it looks rock-solid to me. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

I think it looks good, and I can also see you've got some inspiration from ns_nothing by looking at that second pic. I personally think the lighting could use some more variety, as the level looks kind of bland. Also the 2 hives look like they could use some repositioning, as the first one has some of its "legs" attached the nothing (oldschool spiderman style). The second cut off at the ground where its "mouth" meets the ramp. I also think that the texturing in the 2 hives need some work.
Anyway best of luck in your mapping.

I <b>really</b> like the looks of that, my only complaints are in pic 3 the infestion ends too suddenly on a straight line and in pic 4 the hive looks like it might be too low with the sloping ground to cause some problems.

Zog! The forum crashed before i'd finished posting. Here's a shot of the final hive.

Would this be considered a fun map or a serious map? Its clear that it is based around a gimmick of taking architecture from other maps (hence the name) but it's detailed enough to be considered a serious map. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

Hmm... serious or fun?

Started out as somthing to map while I was in an insperation dry spot, it blatantly tries to rip off parts of original maps and I don't think i'd have the cheek to submit this for inclusion in NS 3, so it's a fun map.

...but...

It does conform to the guidelines for an official map and is intended to be played in the style of serious NS maps, so it's probably best to clasify it on it's own as a "fu-rious" map. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->


Some Tall Guy, the power core hive isn't hovering it's "legs" attach to a lower part of the ceiling, it's hard to see in that shot. <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif'><!--endemo-->

Hence the name <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

This was actually an ide aI had earlier, to do a map with sections in the styyles of the different mappers. But of course I can't map.

The one hive you should flood everything, so the hive is 2/3 dipping inside the water. That would be so cool!

Heh...


Uhm, nice idea chrome but it seems to have really bland lighting, like you've gone and rushed it.

NerdIII

I find this friensly lighting an extreme relief after some hours on these dark high contrast maps <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Plz keep the lighting, it looks so clean.
