<div class="IPBDescription">A new map idea, hopefully to come alive</div> <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> Ok, somehow my acount got screwed up so I made a new one. But anyhow, After walking around some of the ns maps. I realized they all had the same basic construct. The same basic idea on how it should look. Hive areas infescted and any other place looked like a normal ship. And an idea kinda popped in my head. I'll describe the map after saying what the story I came up with could be. Not saying you have to use it. Just giving you an idea on why the map would look this way.

Ok the marines are on some kinda recon or rescue mission. They got some kinda disrtress call or something like that(yes I know very good post story on why the marines are there, but I'm not good with that. So it's up to you). The aliens supposivly took over a ship and the ship is completly infested the only none infested place is your small economy ship and the vacum chamber connectiong the two ships.

I just think that with this idea you could make the map look really crazy. You could make it look so abstract. I believe it would be a very interesting map to play in. The total infestation of the ship would give it a really scary feeling. But since I'm not a good mapper, I was wondering if anyone would like to take up on this challenging idea. thank you <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I had a 'totally infested' area in my NS_Deep map, with weird acrhitecture (due to the infestation) and lightning. But... Agh, I accidently deleted it, while installing NS 2.0. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    So, umm, Nos, what you're asking is basically for someone to implement the idea you came up with? I think you might be underestimating the amount of work that goes into making a map. (I know I keep reevaluating that estimate as I make progress through my first) Anyways, you'll probably get a better response if you commit to learning how to map and try to form a group of people here to work on this idea. Mappers are finicky people, and generally don't like working on ideas that aren't their own somehow. If you make a group then everyone can have input into the level design and such. I would suggest trying a forum search for "group mapping" as there should already be a thread full of suggestions on how to get this started.

    Well I do not have alot of time on my hands. From school to work and everything in between I'm kinda over doing it as it is. It was just an idea and if anyone would like to take up on it I would be extremely happy. But if not then ok...Just wanted to give it a shot.
