My own map

I'm busy on a map too, but I kinda miss inspiration for the mariner base...
Any requests what should be in the mariner base?
And how many res nodes for aliens and how many for mariners

well if its a siege map make like 20 res nodes for each team, well the rest is up to u 8)

*Little offtopic*

How u can make own maps in ns, with what program ecn.
Little guiding for that pls.
:?

Pfffffffff, I don't know it myself anymore...
You could google at: Natural Selection mapping.
You will prob. get the mapping guidelines, wich got some good explenation.
I myself use QuArK.

Good thinking! :P

A real bunker, that makes attacks on marine team impossible.
Center space should be a small room (enough to put 3 IP, armory, 2 arms, proto, pg, obs) with CC in center. the outer space should be high enough for JP to jump up when they see acidrocket incoming and dont get hit (some space back from "the shooting hole" should be enough to ensure marines with jp can dodge acidrockets.
The route to base should be a double snail outside the bunker, made with a kind of net - even skulk has to go all the way to enter the marine base.

the rest of the snail is simple net, not shooting holes. Shooting holes shouldn't limit visibility of the marines shooting skulk.

Siege-exit should be in the exit of the net-snail.
Ladder down from the base near cc, then corridor under snail to res room whith is compleatly secure.
name should be ns_bothsiege because marines are sieged as much as aliens. No turrets should be aviable to use while defending, only human defence.
If ya want more, ask. If my ideas sux, say it.

I'll go on holidays.

hmm thats very nice but if he does what u told him that wouldnt be his map would be :roll: :roll: :roll:

I think I understand your idea, and I made a painting of it.
Feel free to open it in paint, and copy the raster to greate your own or to edit mine.
Please do not use this layout for your own map, that'd be lame!

I'm just getting the inspiration for a mariner base, won't build someone's detailed designs
I'm not sure about the tf restriction...
