Ns Boot Camp

<div class="IPBDescription">Fall in soldier!</div> Right now, NS_democles is on hold due to lack of ideas.
So, after much planning, i would like to announce the making of NS Boot Camp.

It will replace the HL Hazard Course and if you've ever played Opposing Forces expansion pack for HL, you'll know were im going with this. Currently, it's in planning stages, but it will feature all the usual stuff (movement, weapons, features) plus a short tut on how to command.

All of this will be done with a bunch of scripted sequences (really a whole lot of them <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> ) of the typical hard **** Training officer that will treat you like dirt <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
I though about talking some of the sounds from the boot camp of OP4, but i though about making my own voice acting... if i ever get my microphone to record better <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->


In short, you've got a small intro about you boarding the training ship "O'hara", you're greated by the training officer Lieutenant Collins. He'll explain to you he expects nothing but perfection from you and sets down a few ground rules. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Then you move onto basic movement training (Like the course in HL's hazard course, but a lot shorter.) and stuff like using the jetpack.
Then you'll use each weapon and hit moving targets of holographic skulks.
After that, you get basic commander training and how to select troops and give them orders.

After all your training is done... well.. i've got a bit of a surprise in store to close it all up <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

Comments?
Suggestions?
If you want to help, don't ask to join me. I'm a one man crew and work better alone.
If all goes well, ill even submit it to Flayra and see what he thinks.

    Merkaba is already making an offical training map of NS. How do you plan to give weapons to the player?

    If you want to have voices in the map, you could have a contest or something (unless you do get a mic and you really want to make them yourself). Just a suggestion.

    You've heard of a little map called ns_hera yet?
  • BlackPantherBlackPanther Join Date: 2002-02-11 Member: 197Members
    well duh.. but i only know a few of the NS team members and contributing mappers.
  • JediYoshiJediYoshi The Cupcake Boss Join Date: 2002-05-27 Member: 674Members
    Merkaba made hera, there.

    He was almost done with the map too, but Flay didn't have time to have it implimented.

    hmmm how big is Merkaba planning on making the training?
    Any idea?
    Mine is already going to span easily across 5 maps <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    5 maps for practicing? How much do you plan on teaching those poor newbies?

    There are some things they should learn for themselves...

    Black Panther, Merkerba is one of the Devs, and also the guy who made ns_hera. He was working on the training map before release and I believe he was very close to finishing it when NS was released. Flayra decided that it wasn't something that he would hold up the release for.

    So I think planning making your own training map when there already is one in existence and you don't even have access to all the required entities is somewhat pointless.

    I know he made hera... i noticed that a few posts up <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo-->

    What do you mean not all the entities?
    They're gonna update the .fgd with entities for the training maps?

    Oh and i don't care if NS has an official one.
    Like i said... when i set my mind on somethng .. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I remember that the NS Training was not going on NS 1.0 because there was no time to make the <i>scripting</i>. They wanted to release ASAP (and we wanted to have it too) <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Edit: I hope to see it implemented on NS 1.1, since they don't have to rush for a release (we all have what we wanted, don't we?), but they have the final word on this so I don't really know anything <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I'm very good at scripting.
    You should see all the.. huu.. "horrors" i put the HL scientists and Barneys through ! omg.. so painful!

    I even made a movie in HL.. you download it like a mod and you start a new game, but you don't actually play.. it's just a scripted sequence from start to finish.. it lasted about 30 mins and took about 6 months to make <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Sadly, it's on my crashed hard drive and i can't recover it yet..
