haha, the first beta didnt actually work too well, due to some silly bugs on my part. im waiting on the voices for the second part now then ill release a public beta

eta: sorta depends on dark really but if he gets me the voices in the next couple of days i reckon i can get a good version out in about 4 days

Grizzly

how are you guys placing skulks etc in your mapp ?

Dark_Hand

Meat, give me a general layout of how the second half will progress like you did for the first half, that was great and was what really allowed me to get started on the first half.

Grizzly, the map uses some neat concepts... Dosen't even need live skulks. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> Even fully trains you on the aliens without having to be on the alien team. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> You'll see when its released <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Xeno

is there a first half thats available?

something tells me im missing out on something. i just know it.

Enceladus

the first half is only available for the ones who helped with it. It will be publicly availabe when the second half is done aswell. afaik.

Meh, I don't count as having helped out despite inspiring you in the first place? :/

Meat_Popsicle

ur in the credits for that reason, but things r still buggy as hell and the first half is poor on its own (not to mention my hostings gone completely down so i culdnt even send it if i wanted, just look at the lack of pictures in this thread now). just be patient, itll only be a few days b4 the second half will be in beta then a day after that b4 i release i proper beta on the forums

murphyt4

ahh... if only u let me help, then i could test it <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Black_Viper

Need any sprites? Just give me some ideas, and what you want... I think i could make some signs...

If so Pm or e-mail me, e-mails in meh sig...

I can make like a Credits sign or something...

Edit:
Changed it so i wouldnt sound so desprite to test out beta versions...*

Meat_Popsicle

lol, no-one else gets to see beta 1 cos its full of silly bugs and my hostings temporarily dead anyway

i might release beta 2 to more ppl who hav helped out (like the texture artists and stuff) but it takes ages PM'ing ppl, so i may just wait till i finish the second half and release the whole thing.

the first half only takes u up to the holographic briefing anyway, bit dry on its own

Meat_Popsicle

can anyone think of a good name for the space station this will be set on?

Dark_Hand

If the marines are in stasis, and one of the sound files says that their next training session will be in 6 months when they reach the beta sector, should it be some sort of giant military cargo/transport vessel perhaps?

How about The Hermes, TSA Olympiad-class transport vessel and communications relay. Hermes being the god of travel and communication <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Meat_Popsicle

yeh it culd pass as a ship and not a station i suppose. i dont like the name "hermes" though, reminds me of futurama

Supernorn

TITAN is a good name for a ship.

PRTe

AEGIS?
i really wanna see this map finished. hope it goes official into the next version of NS

Black_Viper

Staion names...
Well "Zerx 9 Training Staion" or mabey "Vendetta Training Station",
"Novek Training Station" Sounds good???

The ever so popular "Omega-[Number Goes here] Traning Station" and "Omicron Training Facilities" could be great names for the map too... <!--emo&::marine::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/marine.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='marine.gif' /><!--endemo-->

PRTe

you know what? how about the space station be called
*insert random letter here* - *insert random 5 digit number here*
eg. Station D-13246

Hibame

How about

Xtoverus Training Station
Galfridus Training Station
Egidia Training Station
Asta Training Station -This one I like it means holy

i quite like the idea of that, it gives the impression there are many ships in the ns universe...

hmm,

Station B8
Station H8
Station F8

or like name the ship in the first half Station B4, and the second half, slyley change it to Station 2-L8 <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

it wuld be cool if the name had some meaning behind it tho, much like the name dark suggested

edit:
<!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->How about

Xtoverus Training Station<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
quite like this, wat does it mean?

tankefugl

Since the space station is a place for teaching the TSA marines the skills of war, why not call it <b>Athena</b> Training and/or Space Station?

<!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Athena - Goddess of Wisdom, skills and warfare<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Edit: Google found this about Xtoverus: <i>Christoverus, Christoper, also written Xtoverus.</i>

Also found this curious fact: <i>Note that it was very common indeed to write "Christ" as "X" (a cross). Xmas is not a modern abbreviation. It was always written that way!</i>
