I'm allready planning,designing maps on paper "layouts" got about 80 drawn so far and working on more.

I will then get ValveHammerEditor,compilers,etc and read every mapping tutorial I can find plus get some help from other mappers,this is my first intention.

Second will be getting help from other mappers to help me start my first map a basic one to learn how Hammer works what it can do/can't do,get ideas n suggestions.


Third will be when I've learned how Hammer works and what I can and can't do I will proceed to a more bigger map.

Fourth will be once I/fellow mappers have done this I will maybe try a first ever "Gore" map maybe one or two.The first one would be called "ns_gore" and "ns_twitch".


These 2 maps would maybe be set way far into the future when the aliens have evolved and great battles between the aliens and marines.The maps I have in mind would have like red liquid pools on the floor "blood" and spatters on the walls and marine bodies lying on the floor and maybe some hanging from the ceilings.


Some marines that would be lying on the ground could be maybe sliced in half from Fade battles and skeletons too from onos digestion.The marines hanging from the ceilings could be maybe move alittle "twitching" like the bodies on DOOM.


Anyway I'm allready working on/drawing 3D pics of my ideas "concept drawings" for the "gore" maps.


These ideas I came up with could maybe be used for an NS 3 that would be cool.


Oh plus maybe alien bodies laying around too like skulks n fades n onoses etc. with bullet holes in them and green blood dripping from their bodies.

Not sure why you're posting this. This thread doesn't really seem relavent.

I'm pretty drunk and this still doesn't make sense...

There are times when you need to just Smile and Nod, Smile and Nod...

Yeah, don't post an outline saying that you're going to learn to map. Learn to map then post screens of your work. And if you have questions please use the Mapping Help and Troubleshooting forum at the top.

a key aspect of ns is "no" gore, keep it to a minimal...

and, i agree, this topic isn't very relevant.

chill dudes....

some people just wanna chat, and want no.. NEED encouragement.. he may be one of thoes people...



i say go for it dude, you certainly seem to have it planned out and i wouldnt let anything stop you... - lemme know if oyu need any help ill help where i can.

Not everything has to make sense, or even be done for a specific reason.

People need to learn things these days. Anyway, good luck with the gore maps, hopefully they will become popular with servers, even if the NS team wont accept them...with their no gore policy.

im pretty hungover, and i still dont get it.

But anyhoo ur in for the long haul, it took most mappers here a few years to get to the standards they are at now. I started mapping just after quake 1 was released, i dont even kno how many years that is, i'm rekoning over 10 (no flames if im wrong please)

So good luck, just dont be shot back if ur first attempts dont turn out how u want them

Are you telling this. Or you really gonna do this? Become a mapper.!

Gore & blood?

If i saw a game with gore and blood its Postal 2 and Manhunt. Those games is wild and crazy with full off Gore and Bloodbath. I dont think NS is created for same Universe.

If you wanna make Gore maps for Ns i recommend you swith to Postal 2 engine.

That game really have (gore) maps.

Remember that NS 1.0 didnt have gore and blood.

If you want to find a possibility to make bloodmaps. Wait until the D00mday comes.
There i guess u can find many ideas.

*Highly anticipating "the DOOmsday"

You mean Doom right?

1. learn to map
2. play natural selection
3. REALLY learn to map!!!
4. learn to avoid absolutely pointless threads like this like "I have an idea..." with nothing behind it.

imagine: ich have about 4 millions of ideas a day (the idea of eating something, the idea to argue anyone...) who cares besides me?

ps: 5. lock!

I hope your modelling skills ae as good as your imagination. If you build it I would probably look at it to see if you could pull it off without it being a crime scene slideshow.
