NS_BlackHawk 2.0

[BlackHawk]

As I mentioned in another thread, I am redoing my old Natural Selection map. It is getting a pretty major over haul. Atleast 1 new room, 1 room being redone from scratch, and a few rooms moved. The vent system is also being simplifed dramatically. I am removing many of the halls and filling them in with rooms (Moved from elsewhere or new), and increased detail. My gaol is to make it more balanced. I will add to the change log as I make the changes. if you want to see the current version, you can get it here - http://halflife2.filefront.com/file/;73823

Change Log:
*New Red Room (Double Res)
*New room outside middle exit from Reactor Core Hive
*Moved Low Gravity so that it is between Reception and Kaharra Research and now a used room, eliminating hall there
*Moved Marine Start to where the S shaped hall is (Command chair is in the north, waiting room in the south connected to Operations
*Rotated Community Room 90 degrees
*Made Community Room, Locker Room, Observation Lounge, Ramp Room, and Lift Access all closer together, nearly eliminating all halls in that section
*Moved Meeting Rooms slightly north, eliminating hall and weldable door there
*New Vent System
*Enlarged Waiting Lounge
*New Airlock Control Room
*Elevation changes to Operations
*Detail Modifications to Ramp Room

For anyone interested, here is a preview of my new version. Keep in mind that I have not rebuilt Airlock Control, Red Room, or made the new room by Reactor Core. There are some dead ends still (The Y, Locker Room, Marine Start, Airlock/Airlock control) and the vent system is not in place. I am also working off RC6's files, so some of the details you see in the last "offical" release of my map are not there yet. However the Ville posters are back. You need to have ns_blackhawk to run this, since that has the wad file. Get that from my post above if you do not have it. Here is the BSP map file, place this in your halflife/ns/maps folder

Do any servers play it? I miss me some ns_blackhawk maps.. fun times

[Cpt._Keyes]

aye, i remember the testing way back when, one of the best maps, i am eager to see it done

[BlackHawk]

I have done some major changes to the airlock. as in a completely different room. It is now more like my orginal concept instead of a big square room with a door at the end. the next "beta" version will not have a working airlock, but the final will again. this one will take me more time because of how complex the new room will be, so that is why the delay on the working airlock

[BlackHawk]

here hare some pictures of the new Airlock. The closed double doors is the airlock, the single closed door goes to Reception. The lighting is not done in here, I am still playing with that

Zomg ....

Blackhawk, could you post the next most recent version? We tried playing on ns_bh and the vent room kills onos's like crazy by just touching it.

[Tea Time]

it would be nice to once again eject the un-suspecting into space.

Are you going to try and fit it to NS2 also?
There will be Natural Selection 2 Technology Release for the mapper to start mapping before NS2 is released

[BlackHawk]

Well, for whatever reason (may be too much drinking) I have started to work on this map again. Who knows maybe I will finish it this time (I have only bee working on it for 5 years now lol)

[l3eeron]

Dude, I know what you mean, I have tons of unfinished maps that where basically a flash insipiration that fizzled. But, there's never a map that is worthless. You always, at least, gain experience from any map made.


And Yes.... you should port it over for NS2!!!

[BlackHawk]

That is why I am finishing it. I figured that once it is done it will be easier to port instead of tring to make the changes as I port

Crap, I lost my lights.rad file. This is going to take some time to redo. I tweaked those lights so many times. I thought I had it on a cd around here.
