Some time ago, and god knows why, I started a training map with Insane, I was doing the RR at the moment, while Insane was doing the marine part of the map...
...problem was, that we never made a thread, so when Meat_Popsicle started his trainingmap thread, I immediatly stopped working on this one (we didn't have much done anyways), and focused again on my other projects.
I wasn't checking the r_speeds or the entity count since it was a "singleplayer" map... I went a bit crazy with the wires, it's something I started experimenting with back when we were actually working on the co_ competition map.
Anyways, I may end up using parts of this in my other maps, maybe selene... we could always use this thread to post our "dead" projects, dunno... <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
The second pic was still a WIP (specially on the lighting aspect), but that isn't important now, I guess.

I think you should finish it. The screens look absolutely fantastic. Of course, I am judging a 3d enviroment based off of 2d pictures, but your mapping has always been exemplary, Mendasp. I think Insane has been dying of boredom lately at any rate, and this map would also contribute another little something to the community. If not, you could always do with the cannibalization of the map, so it can contribute to future maps.
anyway heres 2 screens of a hive i made for my original ns map (ns_nova) which i even released a playable version of but was crap (centrel marine spawns REALLY dont work) so i just converted it into co_teabag <!--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-->

Here's a screenshot from a combat map that I started together with some people from #nsmapping. Too bad we never finished it, as I think it could turn out really great.

NS_Overture was a map I worked on for quite some time, and I really thought I would finish it. It later turned into a combat-map that I decided not to release.

NS_Naide was my first serious ns/mapping-project ever. But just like ns_overture I lost interest in the map before it was finished, and just like ns_overture it later turned into a combat-map that I decided were not good enough for release. <!--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 would post my unfinished file but it would violatet your eyes in such ways that I would be destroyed.
Here's a co map that never even got so far as having a name. I was about halfway through with it when my hard drive crashed and this screenshot is all that survives. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
ohh, I almost forgot about that one! damnit.
Well, I made a looooong corridor in that map, I don't have the pics anymore D: it was quite similar to sava in texture choice, though.

feel free to use any part of it (exept Nexus:D)
This is the first room I made in the halflife engine, while I slowly learned not to treat things like I used to for unreal. I don't have unreal installed anymore or I'd show you guys some screens of my maps for that.
... oh wait.

@DM: Finish the rest of the map with the MS, or use it for a new map - that should NOT go unplayed.
@H|CarNagE^8th: Oh ma gees! Loving the general style of bluebase, it has a very Unreal/Q2/Q3 looking into the future-esque style. It looks like a DM map though so co: yes, ns no.
P.S. I love this thread! I would post if I had PC (etc. etc.) but I'd only have Quake and CS maps as ns_solace is my first NS map...
EDIT: That's not the first time I've thanked Moultano for a map he didn't make, guess it's his catchy name that does it...

Well, if he'd actually finish it, would it be played? I think no, as most of maps.
There are many maps finished but I haven't seen any map in public servers. Only traditional ones what are turned into boringness after playing a while..
Thx im gone work on it soon i dont know how to fix that wpolly problem :/
im gone redesign the RR. or just start the rest and go back to it later.

Yeah, shame some of these maps didn't get finished.
Pfft.
1) Lost the RMF
2) Too many clipnodes error
3) r_speeds
