Lm Community Made Map

[BobTheJanitor]

For those that have forgotten, the theme is a geothermal energy production plant. So, pipes, steam, deep venting shafts, these sort of things all fit the theme. Computers, of course, you can't really make an NS map without them. And the things I'm most interested in, still, are getting the basic geometry out of the way. Just give things indication textures that show how you eventually want them to look. Don't worry about real pretty textures for now, just get the shape down, and then we'll make it good later.

Deep venting shafts? Pits of doom! I crave copious numbers of pits of doom! It's so fun to hide in 'em as a skulk. And marine start definitely needs one.

[Decimator]

Don't worry lolfighter, I already have a pit of doom in my hive. :p

[lolfighter]

Just don't place a spawnpoint above it, redeemers will hate you.

[Decimator]

Well, it's directly below the hive actually, so no knifing of the hive ever.    It's also very very deep, so skulks will be able to grab the walls if they fall in.

rawr, am I still the only one that thinks a sub forum would be cool? I mean each hive can get a thread which the respective maker can attach there parts of the map [settings in teh ACP ftw] and we can make announcements, have a sticked completion thread, etc.  but this plea has been falling onto deaf ears for some tine now :huh:


also this is going to be a surface installation for the story aspects, becuase a geothermal energy production plant would have to be on the ground to get it's energy  :rolleyes: as soon as we get the majority of the map down I can start thinking about story and such.

[lolfighter]

Skulks rarely choose redmeption though, I was thinking of Fades and Onos. Oh well, russian redemption-roulette.

You can knife it, you just have to be at the right point to do it. That's OK though, the official mapping guidelines say that hives should be reachable for knifing and healspraying. Of course, very few of the official maps FOLLOW this rule...

I think it's getting ignored because there's no real reason for it. It's not like the LM mapping forum is a hotbed of activity, where new posts on the progress of this map are likely to get lost in the churning melee of new imformation being posted at all hours of the day.

Hell, before I bumped this topic the whole forum was in danger of showing no new topics due to inactivity.

i have to agree with bob on this since the only reason this forum shows up now is cause he bumped this topic back to the top

[Decimator]

There's a railing to keep things from falling in without being rather stupid, so don't worry about it too much.

How can I help with this project?

[Malevolent]

Yeah, it's not good that this hasn't been posted in for that long (minus now of course). If we could get it so it was updated once a week at least it would keep the interest up somewhat. Anyway, all us other forum members would like to help somehow (I'd almost consider learning to map for it ).

You can do anything that your heart desires.  I've updated the layout posted by devnull a few pages back, and have fixed the upper right side of the map (as in, made it concurrent with what has been mapped/laid out to be mapped).  The areas highlighted in red have been mapped out for sure already, and have been labeled accordingly.

Bob has dibs on the south hive (if he still wishes it).

I have dibs on the marine spawn, unless anybody else wants it terribly badly.  it was tossed at me to begin with.

Deci has dibs on the west hive, as can be seen.

Anything else is up for grabs.  That eans that anyone, yes ANYONE can begin to map them out.

If you're up for that, Legionairred, may the mapping commence  And if you're not such a good mapper (which I know isn't the case anyways - you're better than I am), anything else (sounds, textures, sprites, etc) would be vastly appreciated.

[Decimator]

Actually, I've already done the node above my hive also.  So you can't do that either.  :p

Edit: I think we need a vent between the two hives farthest from eachother without having to go through the middle hive.  Sooo frustrating to have to protect a building hive and have a turretfarm in the way.

[Bijiy]

The hive below dubb's area is mine, so yeah. :p Seriously though, we need to start thinking of names for areas.

[Mr.Bill]

Ill take up a section, if Im allowd :-D Do I need to get some sort of rmf I spose?

I felt like mapping, so I started a ms.. hope its up to par.

[Bijiy]

Pictars Bill, pictars.

[Mr.Bill]

Here are 2 pics of ms, from opposite corners, the entire thing can be changed... or redone... or even compiled with pretty lights. either way just wondering if this would be good for the map.
