Anyone Got A Beautiful Finished Map?

Flayra · August 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">For immediate release in NS 2.1</div> Hey guys,

I've seen a ton of amazing screenshots around here, and I'd love to potentially include one or two of these maps in the upcoming NS 2.1. We don't have a date set for it's release yet, but it will likely be before the end of the month. This means that any maps that would be tested for inclusion need to be ready right now.

If anyone has a completed map (un-playtested is fine) with visuals comparable to the official maps in NS, please send info and a link (not an attachment) immediately to me at flayra@overmind.org.

The common errors that people make when submitting maps that you shouldn't are:

- Following all the guidelines in my posts in the <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=4&t=100' target='_blank'>Mapping FAQ thread</a>.
- Not including a proper HLTV overview. Please test it to make sure it's oriented properly.
- Setting your map extents inaccurately, so there is extra space around the edge of your minimap, or it's not centered.
- Not including ambient sounds or particle systems.
- Having r_speeds over 1000 in commander mode.
- Having very high-detail particle systems that drop frame-rates noticeably when looking at them.

Depending on the number of submissions I receive, I may not be able to send you feedback on your submission. I will get in contact with you about your map within a few days if I'm interested in working with your to include your map officially.

Thanks guys, and I can't wait to see your work!

Whoa 2.1 =) This came bit surprise I would have tried to finish ns_metal for 2.1.
Oh well good luck to all submitters.

Zazi · August 2003

Yeah. Maybe I would've worked faster on Widow.

Sirus · August 2003

I bet Ayumi will be done.

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

CoolCookieCooks · August 2003

hmm if zazi finishes widow i would vote for it to go through.

Tequila · August 2003

Well I'm nowhere near completion of ns_nova, but good luck to all submitters. The more official maps the better!

enf0rcer · August 2003

what doesn't make it into 2.1 will make it into 2.2 so I wouldn’t worry about rushing maps at this point. I don't think you'll find there are many maps released right now that are at the same standard as the official maps. A lot of the visually orgasmic (har har) maps are still being made but I’m sure they will be worth the wait.

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

Insane · August 2003

Harharhaharahrhr.

It's too late for me to do anything with regards to Spirit, unfortunately. It's not near enough to be finished to have it done in time. (At any rate, I plan to redo large parts of the level - I'm just not happy with them).

Good luck to all of you who intend to submit maps. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

Mendasp · August 2003

Ouch!

I thought I would make the next deadline... well, I released my map in it's RC3 status, but it's nowhere near what I wanted to release, and I don't think the final version will be ready any soon, so... well, I'll try on the next one <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

I must tell blueman to submit mystic or nirvana <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

Scythe · August 2003

I just SMSed mouse. He should be along shortly to post hydrosity! It's mighty cool.

--Scythe--

Fam · August 2003

Theres a very small chance I could get ns_thea finished by then. And even then, its nowhere near the quality of the current maps. Im tempted to email the latest version anyhow. Flay might have a fetish for small maps, you never know. ^^

(Oh yes, and get mystic up in that muh!)

The_Real_Quasar · August 2003

I wish I could submit anything ns_senria like, but there's the Worst Leak Ever currently in effect, so nothing can be done.
Oh well, hope to see some good new maps anyway <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>
(Err Flayra... Could you leave in a minor little balancing issue so I can get senria made official in a later version? cheers <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'> )

Nay · August 2003

Insane · August 2003

Go for it Nay! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'> Colony is a really cool map, I'm sure it at least has a chance of making official status.

Endofthemonthendofthemonth! WOOHOOOOOO!

Sadly, I have nothing to contribute as of now.

Smithy · August 2003

Do you all have official play tester's for the maps? Ive been playing since the day NS came out and Id love to do anything that might help, even if its just spectating a play test on a map!

Well if anyone need's me for any grunt stuff like that ill be here.....

PS. I havent got a clue how to map so dont bother asking me questions about that <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

I love to come look at all the maps and try and give what I think is good advice, as a gamer, not a mapper.

Thank you!

Tequila · August 2003

Oh ho cydonia, rock on!
It quells the severe lack of doncing, musak and camp waiter robotry apparent in the official maps... <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>
