Ns_attrition

Mouse · October 2004

<div class="IPBDescription">well I figured I may as well...</div> Ok, first things first; those who have been around for a while may remember that I originally started attrition around the start of this year, the screens from it are <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=50533&' target='_blank'>here (please don't bump)</a>. Some time in late Jan it went the way most maps tend to go (HDD crash). It wasn't until a month or two ago that I finally found some time to start rebuilding it, so after a month or so, here are the first stages of ns_attrition:

I've had a couple of people ask me for a test map and I'm afraid to say, I don't exactly have one to give. All I have is pretty much what you see in those screenies, no ambience or particle systems as of yet as I'm focusing on getting the map done first. Also, with exception to the marine start and the random corridor; nothing is connected.

Olmy · October 2004

Gah! Very nice! I seriously love the colours, and your architecture looks far more interesting than anything i would come up with.

Starchy · October 2004

I'm loving the first one.

Kaine · October 2004

seems to have progressed considerably since i last saw it, and it looks great. The architecture strikes me as somewhere between ns_lost and something totally new and sexy. love the contrasting light colors & windows. keep it up!

BobTheJanitor · October 2004

Wait... Mouse, posting about a map... and it's NOT hydrosity? DOES NOT COMPUTE! ERROR ERROR!

Looks very nice, can't wait to see how it progresses.

Trojan · October 2004

I remember that corridoor <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' />

You gonna have the upsidedown version too?

coris · October 2004

Looking great, I love your different style <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />
Keep it up

TyrNemesis · October 2004

Nice screenshots, Mouseh. It "looks like a combat map" to me, but I say that about any map that uses a lot of ns2.wad <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /> Don't worry about that. Keep up the good work and elves will massage your feet and feed you cookies.

Mouse · October 2004

I possibly will Trojan <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' />

Kezei · October 2004

I have one word. wow.

That's amazing, I love your brushwork and lighting. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' />

JazzX · October 2004

Doesn't look like any version of Hydrosity I've played. **Checks Topic Title** Oh wait.... (I didn't see Bob's Hydrosity joke before I wrote this, but I wish I had <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/mad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad-fix.gif' />).

Screen shots look great as always Mouse. Can't wait to see what you have planned for the layout.

And Tyr remember what the nice doctors said: if you take the wrapper off the Twinkie <b>BEFORE</b> you eat it, you won't see the little Elves.

I've always wondered why a hive would sit in a cooling core. They seek out warm, damp, wet etc places just like plants and stuff. A cooling core - wouldn't that be a bit cold for it? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

TOmekki · October 2004

ive always wondered why aliens are so obsessed with cargo storage rooms =P

Diminished · October 2004

love those walls in the first pic, nice and easy for skulks

GamezLord · October 2004

amazing work.

1 thing: mayb its just me but i liked the older General Access corridor. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

Moisture; not to mention the hive is under a fan (which for the purposes of me being right and brute_force being wrong <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' />) blows warm air into the cooling core.

and thanks for the comments guys.

Olmy · October 2004

Yeah, logic would normally lead you to the conclusion that a cooling core would be extracting heat from another place, thus the ambient temperature being higher...

ShenTraX · October 2004

You do good work Mouse. This is looking very promising.

HanzGrub3r · October 2004

Mousy....You are the navigator! (sorry, just finished watching the old movie "the flight of the navigator" - bah..most of you kids wouldn't have been born when that movie came out)..

Good things: Seriously nice work - very organic looking...nice feel...very flowing...

Only bad thing: You've got some fluro lights in one corridor that are rectangular and the light that comes from them is round - either change the texture or make a func_illusionary that blocks the light into a rectangle...cause it just looks wrong..

Mouse · October 2004

They're actually 3 light_spots next to each other, so it is a bit wider than normal. but I'm thinking about increasing the outer angle (atm the inner angle is the same as the outer angle) to fade out the lights a bit.

SeraphyGoodness · October 2004

Very nice mouse <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /> loved hydrosity, and i have every faith in this being as good.

Oh and Hanz? I remember watching that film as a kid too. I feel old now. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' />

Grizzly · October 2004

looking good
whoha at all the colours though ^^
and the infestasion in the hive still is a bit wimpy, yes i know its cold, but maybe some green lights or somthing to make it feel infested (more infested !)

progress !

Scythe · October 2004

OMEGA BREACH CONTAINMENT!!!

--Scythe--

Mouse · October 2004

It was actually Omega Bulkhead, but myeah. I may do it now.

Maybe.

ModChaosControl · October 2004

looks very tasty... my mapping skills of a basic half-life map based on the <i> aliens</i> series bow down to you <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

SloppyKisses · October 2004

wow I think I'm going to love this map. It has a sleek and sexy design to it for some reason. From what I can tell from thouse SSs your doing an awesome job.

I personally blame your corrupting influence for that.

In other news, it seems I don't have any screenies of the old Omega Bulkhead to reference, which means you get a lovely shiny new Omega Bulkhead.
