Hey all just to help everyone out instead of going and downloading a NS v1.04 STEAM to play the maps and stuff here's what you do.


With having the new maps with NS v3.0 b4a all you can do is assuming you have a NS v1.04 backup somewhere, all you do is backup the 1.04 maps then pick the ones you want to play and just rename them hehe.


What I did was I opened up nsp in STEAM,then I opened up my "Sierra" folder containing the 1.04 maps,then I renamed ns_caged to ns_caged2,ns_hera to ns_hera2 and finally ns_eclipse to ns_eclipse2 and copied and pasted to my steam/nsp map folder.


Now I can play 1.04 hera,eclipse,caged with no problems and I have no probs with onos getting stuck in them.


On a sidenote they actually kinda made me cry alittle bit lol I was "happy and sad crying" from playing them in all their original luster,awesomeness,greatness.Also the other thing that kinda made me cry but happy cry was missing all the epic 1.04 games that I really enjoyed and miss(ed).


But now their revived in the form of ns_caged2,ns_hera2,ns_eclipse2 "renamed" <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Me so happy,me play longtime lmao.

Drummer

um, you were still able to play on servers with changed maps? or does the server not verify the map on the client...

Sarisel

Both server and client have to have the old maps installed. On this particular server, the old maps have a "2" at the end of their names. Hence the client must also have the same maps with a "2" at the end of their names. Presto.

Firedragon

I didn't goto any servers

I just renamed the 1.04maps by adding a "2" to the end then copying and pasting them to my nsp map folder.

Then I went to "Create Server",picked the map,then went marines,then turned on "sv_cheats",then I typed in console "buildminimap to get the sprite files.


Oh I was havin a blast <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif' /><!--endemo--> to <!--emo&::gorge::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/pudgy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='pudgy.gif' /><!--endemo--> hehe


I was playing with bots too btw lol

waller

If servers uploaded these maps, clients could download them and play them like normal

coris

Servers have to have the maps too for you to be able to play on them.

like i said.
The game would just treat them like any other custom map, for example ns_siege007.

Fun fun fun!!!

Now you can relive the memories!

No name Hive, the 2 doors in eclipse, <8

Firedragon

Ok then <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->


Not sounding mean or anything,but maybe we should all maybe goto servers or contact server admins or something and tell them about how we could bring back "revive","relive" the greatness of the past of ns_caged,hera,nothing,eclipse.


Like I said in my thread about just renaming 1.04 maps by adding a "2" to the end,maybe we can once again very soon be playing these.Although it might sound like alot of time for servers/owners to do this but it only took me about less than 50 secs to open the folders,find the maps,rename them,copying and pasting,then playing.

When it comes to doing stuff on my comp I'm very fast <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->.

I just got done playing the original hera,not the pre 1.04 hera but I think ya catch the drift lol.While playing it kinda made me both happy and sad of the past memories of once long,epic games,fun,perhaps forgotten,and then brought back to life. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->


But seriously,not lying,it brought a tear to my eyes playing these lastnight and this afternoon.

Bry

Well i made the 1.04 steam install so i quickly made this up.

Contains all official 1.04 maps with sprite files and res files for server downloading.Perfect for client and server installation

You may download them <a href='http://www.brywright.co.uk/nsforum/index.php?showtopic=983' target='_blank'>here</a> (14mb)


Please don't post direct links but link to the above link please.
Many Thanks

On the subject of 1.04:

There is a server for it out there, but no one ever plays it. YET, everyone still talks of how they loved 1.04. WTH?

Firedragon

Bry do you know if NS v3.0 steam install has any conflict with each other or anything? or the other way around ? I 'd like to play on yer server sometime but without conflicts. <!--emo&::onos::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tiny.gif' /><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::tsa::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tsa.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tsa.gif' /><!--endemo-->

No worries. NS 1.04 installs to half-life/ns. NS 3.0 Beta 4a installs to half-life/nsp.

Oh boy, now I can play Beta 4a and get stuck in the roof 1.04 STYLE! <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

The maps are awesome though.

Caged has probably changed more than any other map, <3 1.0 caged. Its too bad none of them will work with 3.0 because of the onos hull causing it to get stuck everywhere.

About a week ago I was running into the marine spawn in eclipse and in my head I saw the old eclipse spawn and I was expecting to run into it. When the doors opened I was so confused a marine mannaged to kill me <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Ok I think i will put ns_eclipse2 on my server later on when I get an http mirror to it. See how it plays.

Old maps are fun for nostalgia and all, but not necessarily awesome for gameplay. For example, Merkaba was nice enough to recompile the first version ever of Hera and hand us a copy for the server I admin on. Was it great for wandering around and going "I can't believe this was there!" and "Wow this map is huge!"? Sure, but it was really bad for gameplay. Obviously that's an extreme example, but don't be surprised if server admins don't want 1.04 maps about, because they won't be as well suited to 3.0b4a as the newest versions of these maps (obviously). Not to rain on anyone's parade or anything.
