<div class="IPBDescription">My first release on NS...enjoy!</div> ns_OSMSiege: Pronounced, "Awsome Siege".
---------------------------------------

This is a FUN map, not a traditional map; so things are going to be very different than your traditional 3 hive map.

fun map eh? Texturing needs a little work imo. That crate in the hiveish area looks like a cs reject. Open spaces would look a bit strange on a normal map so again im assuming its a fun map. looks ok other than those things. I'm not into fun maps though.

Ollj · August 2003

- most beautifull siege map ever, definitely eye candy.

- 7500 e-poly in hive location halfing my fps. 4000 at other locations. 2100 is the NS guidelines maximum.
- The Hera holoroom and base model are exclusively for ns_hera as i know. curse you.
- There seems to be a inofficial rule that siege rooms need to be oversized. a scale factor of 2 for siege maps is toleraleable, a scale factor of 4 hurts because marines look like mices. Your map has a scale factor of 8 near marine spawn. That makes oni looks like mices and skulks like pennies.
- comm hardly can see stuff in marine spawn. Make it func_seetrough or func_illusionary , clipped and invisible-from-top-down. The walls there are too high, too. Make the ceeling lower or rounder.
- "door siege room open in 30 seconds" is gramatically trash.
- Ladders are deadly for onoses and most other aliens. They can kill fairplay.
- Theres no alternative path, no vents, stalemates are too easy, even for a siege map.
- water should not kill.
- the knee high infestation just becomes invisivle when you crouch, thats crap.

now read the mapping guidelines from the webbed Mapping FAQ thread and make an official map. Shouldnt be a big problem.

well from the screenies, it looks beautiful, but u need to work on the other bits like in comm and other stuff as ollj said.

OneSneakYmousE · August 2003

Thanks Ollj,

I'll work on those things you picked out. I learn new things everyday, I didn't know most of them.

I'll make most of the changes in the v2.

Still trying to figure out how to make aliens have a little more of an advantage, without spoiling the whole game.

I put a large shaft up top of the first door box, (Pandoras Box). It opens when the door opens so that aliens can jump from top, and from in front. Also, put a vent that connects the pandoras box to the 2Res Junction with a func_breakable grate--will this respawn after the round starts over?

Jezpuh · August 2003

You really like to pimp about yourself in the map huh osm?

MrMojo · August 2003

It looks rather complex for a fun 3 hives vs full upgrades map. Some of the places look awfully small.

OneSneakYmousE · August 2003

It says, "Door To Siege Room will open in..."

I can't find where it leaves out the 'to'. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'>

Please fix download-link.

Kalopsia · August 2003

great work man <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

ANeM · August 2003

It looks nice, but as other people have already pointed out (on this forum and the G4B2S forums) The link is broken... So I can really only say it looks nice from the pictures.. and screen shots have been known to lie (ie: the author just takes it from an angle that hides all the horrible ugly flaws) So who knows.. cept the lucky people who got the file before it died

NSroxx · August 2003

can someone mirror the map ?

G_I_Godless · August 2003

WOW real eye-candy, like whiping your **** with silk <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'> <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'> <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

(my only thing to notice is that some locations look a little 2 big, but this map sure looks good!!!)

DrunkenMonkey · August 2003

The pictures looks ok, for being a funmap. Too bad the download link doesn't work.

Elite_Guard · August 2003

i would mirror if i had the map <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'>

OneSneakYmousE · August 2003

Sorry about the link. I'll try to get one up for it soon.

I'm doing beta testing on a V2 for it. I balancing out the game play more.

Once I finnish the new V2, I should have a more solid link. The first version is fun, but Marines have an advantage. I want it to be balanced as possible.

Lastly, I'm making the alien hive/siege room smaller--this will take some time.

Some changes I made are:

-Added Vent for Gorges to gain access to both sides of res banks.
-Added Vent shaft on celing of Pandoras box so that alines can fall on top of marines.
-Added Vent leading to the top where the shaft door is.
-Added lighting to the forcefield.
-Removed pipe, and water in main hive.
-Changed Hive names to " I " "II" "III"
-Added more lighting to Pandoras door.
-Changed Text to say "Kharaa in vasion, instead of Panoras Box will open"-Suprisingly, not everyone knows what Pandoras Box is.
-Changed route to MS, no more ladders going to MS (Hard for ONOS and FADES)--I closed off the two ladders in the Juction, and opened the door to follow ramps to MS.

<img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'> -Oh yea, removed HL crates <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'> No one likes half-life crates anymore <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'>. hehe.

and more...

Other Things to do:
-Reduce size of Hive.
-Take out Forcefield, install boring glass--<img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'> I like the forcefield, but I'm assuming this adds to lag.

Haze · August 2003

One sneaky mouse, waht are you doing? Make your cool rats maps for our favorite natural selection! GO NOW!

OneSneakYmousE · August 2003

Hehe, I thought about it, still thinking of ideas on how to make a cool rat ns map.

Something where the marines start in the basement walls, and the aliens start in the attic.

Can't wait till HL2 comes out, I need to get inspired to make more Rat maps.

I like your sig HAZE, I need a cool one like that.

watch_me_die · August 2003

First impressions:

the rooms are too big, makes it easy for marines to slaughter things at long range

OneSneakYmousE · August 2003

Just so that you know why it's large, it's because this is a fun map. There's really nothing to slaughter in MS because rarely going to be a place of combat. Places of main combat are small, except the siege room which I'm shrinking now.

I should have posted this in the first post. I just assumed everyone knew what a Siege map is, but I better post this.

Mr_Headcrab · August 2003

Sneaky, if you need a new model to replace the "Hera holoroom" one, I'll make somthing for you.
I've admired your work
