Ice Map Suggestion

<div class="IPBDescription">(Link to S&I)</div> I suggested this in the S&I forum... It would be really good if somebody could implement it:

first time im realy interested in a map request... i doubt that i will finish it.. but i gonna make some concept scetches

edit: i forgot.. without ice and snow(ok, no snow, i dont want any snow) textures its gona be hard....

NerdIII

Well, making existing textures icy is not a big deal. Every 'better' photo software would do.

Asraniel

i never did textures on my own... :-( but well.. i guess its time to learn :-)

I think Fam's v_wad.wad includes both snow and ice textures.

And can be downloaded <a href='http://www.box7.co.uk/ns/v_wad.zip' target='_blank'>here</a>.

Papercut

Yea, thanks drunken.

New textures are fun.

NerdIII

not much ice in the wad though <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
It only has a snow texture, and a blend texture from snow to a new rock texture (quite a nice rock texture though).

The "v_ice"-texture looks like ice to me. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

this is giving me a really cool idea, dont know if itll work. Maybe revising nirvana and using some snowy textures and changing some rooms (which defenitely (or whatever) need to be remade) to look like caverns.

No, what I was expecting were some NS.WAD textures with ice on them. So the ice is not only on the outside but inside a station. A whole station covered in v_ice might make your eyes bleed. Although sometimes I'd really like to see some of the good maps in white textures. To see how much of it's quality comes from proper texture selection and how light is spread.

EDIT: no, i wont replace the ns.wad with white textures only to see it. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

If anybody is interested in making a "proper" (for official NS release) map, I will have a go at making some textures for it <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

In most cases you could use the NS.wad but make an ice effect using func_walls around the map architecture.

I'd kindof like to see a "Six Days in Sanji" map.

Oh, and there's a very nice pack of snow/ice textures over at Crinity's site on PlanetHalfLife. It's got at least one ice texture, along with multiple snow and snowy-rock textures:

<a href='http://www.planethalflife.com/crinity/textreal.htm#desnow' target='_blank'>http://www.planethalflife.com/crinity/text...real.htm#desnow</a>

If you want ice-like NS textures, you could always open up the textures in something supporting layers (like Photoshop), and add the ice texture from that WAD over the top of it as a partially-transparent layer. Not sure how that'd turn out, but it'd be interesting to try.

Good luck to anyone who tries this map.

Iden

Anyone making an ice map is fine with me, but if someone's going to do something special like ns_sanji I for one would like to see Merk, Relic, KungFu, or TommyD (or any of the other original mappers) and the new ns wad be used for it. Sanji's has a special place in my heart <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

I gave it a quick try, didn't turn out half bad. for this, I used two layers on top of the original wall with two different textures from Crinity's pack (snow_cliff and snow_cliff2). Low opacities (15% and 30% respectively).

It's a great idea, whoever makes it. Some nice frozen textures will definitely help.
