Need ideas

ThorsMapper · January 2007

Okay, here I am. 11:30pm at night EST. Sitting on my computer doing nothing at all. Thought I might create a new custom map. No ideas... not one.

I'd like your suggestions on the following;

Name of map
Atmosphere
Planet ( or ship )

Basic ideas for a map. Please help =]

combat or classic?

and I'll get back to you. Got to work out an idea first <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

[edit]Got some ideas though:

- Cryostasis facility (classic)
- Satalite defence platform (combat)
- Wormhole analasis station (nice custom skybrush or something <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />)

Classic or combat doesn't matter. I'll do whatever works lol... Kouji, tis I, BlackPlague <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

[edit]

Btw, I like that Cryostasis facility idea. What should I call it if anything?

ns_cryo?

Negative. 04' > Got banned for posting a "Look at my post count score post."

Nice to talk to you guys again =] Nice to see old faces.

I think your map name is least concerning! Cryo stasis could be awesome. Like all chilled blue labs and some sort of cooling room. there's always a reactor coolant room of some sort but your's could just be a fridge cooler room.

Yeah and there could be glass tubes in the middle of the room with brushed metal edges and stark lighting. Good for bottle necks.

Most maps have docking bays and possibly cranes or storage and transport rooms.
Most maps have dull corridors once and awesome corridors the rest of the time.

Engines, generators, gantries, vista windows (eternal requiem), swamps and sludge. waste sectors fueling pumping stations. It's all there! just gotta make it look pretty!

ThorsMapper · January 2007

Yeah. I was designing some corridors last night, and I came up with a triangle lol Not using it though. I have some nice ideas too though. Like a big tube for making things into ice, and another one broken with liquids all over the floor or something. More ideas!

Please make a map with a lot of windows and and glass and a beauty environment. So you don't feel so claustrophobical like on the other maps =)

some of the old maps are named after greek gods.
Hera for instance.
pick a name!
the greek gods were many!
1000+
NS_stranded NS_Panic ,i dunno

i would love to see a map made on a spaceship/complex that got a view of a sky with 3 moons.

hive locations something like biometrics lab,control room and dockingbay 12.
Marine start Blue sector 5.

4 lvls
blue,green,grey and red sector(with matching lighting to enforce the feeling you are in those sectors)

corridors with tall ceilings,alot of infestation,loads of space ,with vents.
a place where lerks can fly,not just flap and ppl feel lest claustrofobic..

ThorsMapper · January 2007

Hey kouji, would you mind taking a look at a part of the map for me? See if it would be good for ns_cryo =] You're the only one I trust here lol

Kouji_San · January 2007

Why not put up screenshots. Editor screenshots even <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" /> Otherwise send it to me mail or something, while im still awake that is XD

[edit]
That would be

without the "xxxxxxxx" --> I don't like how this board is indexed on search engines and also don't like spam <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

----------
On that non claustrofobic thingy. Ships and space stations should have small areas for realism purpose imho and 1 or 2 open areas (launchbays or the likes). A moon based or planet based base could have large open areas though...

ThorsMapper · January 2007

Yeah I'll post screenies;

This is still WIP. This is a resnode station.

I generally don't like commenting on Hammer screenshots (prefer to see it in-game), but there's definitely some potential there...
