Poking around map 19.

[-Ki-]

Yes.. I am still here.. still working.. I just though I'd give a bit of insight on just what I am doing..

I should add.. yes I had herd my map was dropped and token over by someone else O.o I don't remember who told me that, and I'd rather not name names if I did anyway.. I saw no official word on it so I didn't know if it was true or what.. then a few things piled on me.. old hard drive died.. then moving my stuff from it to a new system.. then some family issues.. (dad's having congestive heart failure) THEN the power pack to my comp blowing out and almost catching fire.. and all thos sort of stuff..

But yeah.. CG got a hold of me and said my map wasn't dropped.. As soon as I heard that.. I jumped back on it.. If I don't get any mappers block, or other things pulling me away it should be done soon.

NDCP19, is around 74% done. Monster/Item placement about 2% done. I like to place them only for sure where I want them to be, then place the rest when the map is finished ^^; I had more of the map done.. but one area has a large hom issue that wouldn't go away (how it formed I still not sure).. and another area I just didn't like period. So they are beng redone.

Map is still called "Blood Bank", it's ment as a temp name.. if I can't come up with something a bit better, or more fitting, by the time the maps done.. it'll stick. The name only works for one area of the map.. why I'm not sure of the name xD

Heres some screen shots, showing some old areas that have been tweaked, and some new.

The last two shots are of an old area I'm pondering over how to 'spice up' cause it's just to open of an area for my taste ^^; It also shows the only custom texture I made that I have added to the map.. (along the walls)

So um.. there.. now DD has the info he needs XD

Hi -Ki-. Sorry to hear about your troubles. Hope your dad is going to be ok. Welcome back to the forums. It's good to see you again and glad your still working on the map. It doesn't matter who said that, really. Somebody made a mistake I guess. Anyways your map is looking cool. *kewl*

[-Ki-]

Thanx.. And my dad would be okay if hed listen to what the doctors told him rather then thinking by tweeking his medication and insulin (hes diabetic too x.x) he can get away with eating what he wants and doing this and that @.x Oh well.. it's his own stinking fault he got the way he is.. Hes even made himself dependent on oxygen 24/7..

I swear, hes making himself into a darn invalid.. -.-

Anyway.. yeah I'm on the map.. I'm still around.. my only thing with the map is thinking what the area behind the blue door will look like.. the rest of the map is planed out and shouldn't take me long to do.

Hi, good to see you back around. You disappeared for a while, so we got scared (few other people bailed out as well).

[-Ki-]

I don't bail on projects unless they are my own XD
I've seen a few others have left.. O.o Well with luck my map will be done soon..

[Aliotroph?]

Wow, your map looks cool!

[DoomedAce]

Good to have you back, Ki :D

[PumpkinSmasher]

Glad to see you are still working on your map, From the screenshots you've posted here and before you map looks fantastic.

It could use more detail, but otherwise, quite nice. Seems sorta repetitive.

[-Ki-]

If I let myself go detail crazy like I do with my own wads it would never get done XD

[Lutrov71]

What? You don't need to go detail crazy, just put more in. It doesn't take long at all.

[-Ki-]

But what kind of detail do you mean though?

[iori]

random little things here and there, I would assume. Something to break up a wall or a ceiling, so its not flat, is what I always assume as detail (worked so far...).

[DOOM_GOAT]

Yes. Shots f, g and h for example have large, flat areas of BROWNGRN that could easily be broken up by a few indentations, metal supports, windows, buttresses, etc. Otherwise looking shiny.

Welcome back, also.

[-Ki-]

In them shots there are things place here and there and stuff along the walls. them are late shots and not the finished work :P You also can't really put a window on a wall that has another area behind it ^^;
