Europa had good looks, Rampage never. Rampage had better play than Europa, but I still think its a good idea for them not to be official, no disregard or offence meant to the creators.
the problem is that mappers are more tolerant regarding custommaps, "only" ns-players often dont want to try something new, exspecially if its NOT official. thats the fate of a mapper... thats one of the obstacles. and its sad for other people that tried and failed. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Apologies if this has been brought up already, but are you sure 'source' is a good name for a map for a HL mod, given the upcoming HL2:Source release? If a version of NS is ever made for the Source engine, it could be very confusing to also have a map called 'Source'.. nobody would know whether 'source' referred to the map or the game. It'd be like releasing a map called 'ns_naturalselection'.
Just a thought. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

ns_delta was marine biased. Sorry, but central marine starts are too hard to balance. Getting from one hive to the other was a tricky business, and the rts were mostly linear.

I really would like to hear some more opinions about the possible name-change of ns_source. I don’t believe the name would cause any trouble when hl2 comes out but maybe later on there will be a little problem. If the ns team will port ns to the hl2 engine and keeps the “indoor”-styled maps I MIGHT rework my custom map. Perfectionists live a hard life, you know?
I try to buy myself some freetime because my next target is a playable beta. In my opinion it’s the only way to make shure, that you like it. There is no sense in spending hours to redesign short passages, if I have to remove/ change them later on. I just have to do the two connections that are left and some rework of the last hive to fit 100%. seriously, I can see the end of the endless tunnel <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Did you notice how I added (no offense) in my post? Yeah, because really - who here remembers the map from episode 2 map 3 of Duke Nukem 3D (just an example)? As I said, I'm not trying to offend you.
But yes, keep the name, I doubt there's going to be an issue.
its funny how all the people want me to not change the name. >>> granted <<<
and later on I realized what consequences this would have. renaming the directories wouldnt be enough. the biggest problem would be to redirect all soundfiles, ingame models. etc.
- create 2 corridors - clipbrush one area - finish other area - connect the last hive to the map (massive vertex manipulation work to do) - last but not least: create location names, the most funny part <!--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 I think I will take a go with one of the both "source"-names.
I agree. Do not let the interlectually challenged ones among the community make you change your maps name.
I try to buy myself some freetime because my next target is a playable beta. In my opinion it’s the only way to make shure, that you like it. There is no sense in spending hours to redesign short passages, if I have to remove/ change them later on. I just have to do the two connections that are left and some rework of the last hive to fit 100%. seriously, I can see the end of the endless tunnel <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Hmm... So basically you're calling taleden mentally challenged, since he was the one who brought this up in the first place?
Also.

Did you notice how I added (no offense) in my post? Yeah, because really - who here remembers the map from episode 2 map 3 of Duke Nukem 3D (just an example)? As I said, I'm not trying to offend you.
But yes, keep the name, I doubt there's going to be an issue.
>>> granted <<<
and later on I realized what consequences this would have. renaming the directories wouldnt be enough. the biggest problem would be to redirect all soundfiles, ingame models. etc.
^^
- create 2 corridors
- clipbrush one area
- finish other area
- connect the last hive to the map (massive vertex manipulation work to do)
- last but not least: create location names, the most funny part <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
and of course tons of tweaks. please, beautyful compiler, make the finished version working with your pretty tools. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
