Hey all, I've created a set of overhead maps of the main seven levels. Here's the URL:
<a href='http://www.tribes2maps.com/ns/' target='_blank'>http://www.tribes2maps.com/ns/</a>
You can view the maps online, or download them all in a zip file. I've also provided my photoshop files, with layers, for anyone that wants to tweak them. If you make new maps based on my files, I'd love to see them.
I haven't added weld points yet, since I don't want to do that until I have a complete list. If anyone has a way to find all weldable points on the maps, maybe with a console command, please contact me.

Other than that.... finally someone has made all the maps! You're first.. champion!
WEEEEEEE maps for me maps for me.. no more getting lost.. yayayayay
I also miss some of the ledges - in several room, like hera, there are suspended walkwas that marines need to be aware of. might they be added without cluttering up the map?
Oh, and nancy - what do you mean "there is a sub tunnel running under this vent", exactly? I am trying to remember what if there was one there, but I cant.
Someone mentioned about having a look at these maps while commanding, now that'd be very, <b>very</b> useful but is it so really? <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
Someone enlighten me with his/her knowledge asap

Basically they're good for studying maps offline... whether you're a marine or a commander, these overhead views will improve your game on maps you don't already know (and you really shouldn't command until you're familiar with the level, anyway).
You can't place them into the game or anything, they're simply images to study. You could print them out and refer to them while you play though.
As for the ledges and stuff, these maps aren't really intended to learn every detail of the levels. They are intended to help players get from point A to point B and to learn the best routes to the hives. They are also intended for learning the names of each room, so that when a teammate says "I'm in the holoroom", you know what he's talking about and can figure out a quick way to get there.
I keep these maps printed out and have them next to me while playing. Eventually I won't need them, but I'm still learning the maps. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
As for the map Nancy, I put that notation in there because the vent sort of hides a tunnel that runs under the vent, parallel to the vent, so it's not obvious that the tunnel is there by looking at my image.

The ones I have put weldables on is ns_bast. And as you, I use a printout so right now they're just red ink circles on my paper. I don't have any graphics package to alter pictures with but HyperSnap-DX - and it's better for grabbing than modifying. I shall see if I can get my lazy arse around to transfering my weld spots onto your gif.

That would perhaps be something to alter for a new revision. Somehow make it clear that there is a tunnel also, perhaps by a cutout in the corner or something. I dunno, it might not be important.
Plus you did them all <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Now I know where I am no matter the map! <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
Thanks again, nice work.
Next step, Heroine.

We were hoping you were something more cool too, but we'll take what we can get. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Hmm. On that map there is a "Mother Interface" outside of the SubSpace Array Hive. Is that what you are thinking of?
Thanks for pointing that out ... the files have been updated.
I don't think so ... the room itself has no name on your hud when you're in there. I don't think they ever named it, or the name tag got removed by accident. Dunno.
