Largest Ns Map?

Mr_N00b · November 2003

does anyone know what the biggest ns map is? i memorized all the maps too fast and they seem small

Possibly Hera. Well, actually the OLD Hera was... uh... excessively large and cool. They chopped it up. Actually I think all the maps are about as big as half-life supports, it's just that some are more condensed then others.

Veil is also fairly large.

Mr_N00b · November 2003

are there any BIG custom maps?

Ollj was working on the largest NS map I was aware of, ns_complex. He might have abandoned work on it due to hitting limits, but do a search in the mapping forum to see how far he got. It was HUGE.

i'd have to say ns_hera and ns_nothing are the biggest maps

ns_2wad (working name) is prety big, its only got 1 hive, and looks like it will need a squeze to get the other 2 in.

Also, the map bsp is about 14 megs, and thats with no info_loactions, and after a clean up with the opt_plnz by cagey

actually, i think ns_origin is the largest - as in the most area. nothing and veil are also large. hera isn't that big at all.

Hydrosity is kind of colossal.

Now you wanna know a <i>colossal</i> map? Check out ns_cilrais_1229 <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'> Does anybody else remember this map but me?

ns_osmsiege is pretty big. Takes a year to get around the map without celerity/blink/JP

Impy_The_Lerk · November 2003

biggest one iv seen is ns_stargate-x9 (i think its called)

its huge.

Haze · November 2003

Man, does anyone have the old hera? I would just like to walk around it, just looking at the mini map in all the screenshots makes me drool.

Frogg2 · November 2003

ns_fenris was scheduled to be in 2.0 til the source was lost, it was a huge level with some 15 res nodes and 2 dbl node rooms...

amckern · November 2003

ns_cilrais_1229

yes it os massive, just made a lan game, and if not for that vent system betwen the hives, i would been lost!

ns_fenris

must look and see

collany is bigsih, but is probley better as a visual / ambince map

some where, i think it might be in my 1.03 installer (well thats what pc game called it)

I somehow doubt that amckern. The 'old hera' he is referring to only existed within the pre 1.0 playtests.

By my estimates, Hydrosity is now roughly the same size as old hera.

ns_fenris is huge. I like this map, don't let the marines get both double res <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

Yeah, I was disappointed about that. Fenris was awesomely huge.

Mr_N00b · November 2003

how big are ns_fenris and ns_cilrais_1229 compared to ns_nothing? all the maps that came with ns 2.0 seem very small...

Ollj · November 2003

Siege maps and "ive just learned mapping" maps tend to be oversized but you dont notice it that much because of its textures being scaled by 8x and more and their geometry detail is low.
Im not sure when I continue ns_complex, its 2 times as big as official ns maps (longer , not larger) and it eats compile limits for breakfast.

Size doesnt matter that much.

Mr_N00b · November 2003

when i was saying bigger maps i meant like... if someone took (ex) ns_veil and added like 10x the rooms and halls so the size of it now would only be like 1/5 the size of the map with more rooms and hallsways. not the maps with big rooms like siege maps. it might be impossible to make maps that big but it would be great fun

ZERG · November 2003

I wonder what a large collosal map would do to balance... It would definately mean more high tech battles because of the res node count. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

thats nothing, stargate-xt9, has 4 double node rooms, and 2 tripple node roooms

not to mention 10 times the size of lost... possibly even bigger.
