[Doom_Dude]

Hmmm what happened to General Greivous? Haven't seen him post in a long time.

I'll try to work on my final 1% this weekend. ;)

[Aliotroph?]

I've seen the good general online recently. If he appears again I'll ask him for you guys. :)

[ace]

I'll try to work on my final 1% this weekend. ;)

You and your last few percents. :p

SOMEbody that is FINNISH needs to update his progress report already.

[Dutch Devil]

Map28 is about 25% done haven't made any progress on it lately its an bigass map its gonna take more time.

[g6672D]

Hehe. Who could G7762D be? ;)

[FATAL]

You and your last few percents. :p

SOMEbody that is FINNISH needs to update his progress report already.
MAYBE SOMEONE who is ACEISH needs to "FINNISH" his map too!


ALSO I find it humiliating that a higher being like me would have to report my progress.

Nonsense!

[Doom_Dude]

Hehe. Who could G7762D be? ;)Your evil twin?

You and your last few percents. :p Once I reach 200% I'll be done. :D

[rustyslacker]

I asked Fatal about his NDCP2 map.
[13:40:51] Fatal: I was thinking about making a really short map
[13:41:14] Fatal: not because I'm lazy and couldn't really give a shit about NDCP 2, but because it would be a nice change
[13:41:24] rustyslacker: but the first still applies
[13:41:34] Fatal: wat
[13:43:16] rustyslacker: you are lazy and I don't think you really give a shit about NDCP2
[13:43:30] Fatal: ya tru

[FATAL]

hay u promes'd taht teh convarseton wus confedental. hao cud u.*caccry* *caccry* *caccry* *caccry*

[PumpkinSmasher]

So is anyone going to post their progress?

[Doom_Dude]

Mine remains the same so far at 99%

[Nuxius]

I'm at 300% on MAP33, which I have tentatively titled "Secretia Spectacular Sexilicious!". Oh, wait...

[Macro11_1]

I'm at 300% on MAP33, which I have tentatively titled "Secretia Spectacular Sexilicious!". Oh, wait...
MAPPAR OF DA YEARZ!

Seriously, my map is complete and playable... it just needs the ending to be transmogrifications(random word FTW!)... and as I've said before I'm not doing that till we have a nice fat beta or something. (By which case it may be too late.)
Also, as I've said NUMEROUS times ::
MAP 02 NOT-APPLICABLE

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>NOT-APPLICABLE<<<<<<<<<<
That is the map name.

Also, I am quite pleased to see the greenage on this list. We have a near guarantee of 7 more maps... AWESOME!
Also Kudos to the folks taking extra slots... I mean... your just all my heroes :D

[edit]
Thank you ^_^

[PumpkinSmasher]

Hmm. I sent GG an email over the weekend, he still hasn't replied. So if anyone sees him anywhere, tell him to find his way back here.

[jetflock]

map 19- 70%

[Aliotroph?]

Yeah, I told him. He was all "meh." :p

[PumpkinSmasher]

Thanks Alio, hopefully he'll show up again soon.

[Macro11_1]

map 19- 70%
har har, you should bold it.*cachrt*

[MR_ROCKET]

Hey I was wondering. I need some honest opinion on my map04.
Should I update it?, or is it ok as it is?

Also for the hell of it, are you guys up to chatting in Teamspeak or Ventrlio sometime?
I think it would be cool to have some realtime talk about the project or whatever, maybe have a few laughs while we'r at it. :P

[jetflock]

i would be interested, but i only currently have skype.i could get ventrillo though.

[MR_ROCKET]

Well..somebody host a freak'n NDCP2 Ventrillio server! :P

[jetflock]

[PumpkinSmasher]

Alright, just send it to me at some point.

Now everyone else, learn from Jetflock and finish your maps.

[General Greivous]

WoW's gravitational pull has gotten a hold of my mind.

Holy crap Caco smilies.*cacchz*

As I post this I'm searching for what I did have complete, and I'm going to upload it so someone can finish what I have or do what they will with it. Truthfully, if I haven't completed them after all this time I probably won't at any point. It's a sad truth, but it's a truth regardless. I'll put the some password on the .rar file that is on the ndcp2 resource .rar.

[General Greivous]

Still unable to find Map 23, but here is Map 13.

http://rapidshare.com/files/110441765/ndcp2_map13.rar.html

[PumpkinSmasher]

I'll take a look at it and make sure it gets finished.

If you find map23 let me know.

[PumpkinSmasher]

Finish you maps people.

[rustyslacker]

If you find map23 let me know.
I want to take a look at GG's uncompleted map and mess with it some. Keep me in consideration, please.

[DooMAD]

Go, go, go. Faster, faster, faster, etc.

[PumpkinSmasher]

I want to take a look at GG's uncompleted map and mess with it some. Keep me in consideration, please.
The link is posted, so you are welcome to take a look at it. If you would like to finish it let me know.

[ace]

After deciding to take a second look at my map's gameplay I found out that play from a pistol start was all but impossible on HNTR, so I went back and added ammo/health that I previously took out for easy.

So it's done now. For real this time! :p

.......*eek*

This map is insane. And by insane I mean unbelievably cool.

[PumpkinSmasher]

Yea it does look awesome, it needs monsters though.

[General Greivous]

Yeah, I always do the monsters last when building a map :P

[Dutch Devil]

I always build my map around the monsters....sorry bad joke :p I should get back to my map haven't touched it in ages damn Oblivion is keeping me busy.

[rustyslacker]

I don't think I'll be finishing this map. sry

[PumpkinSmasher]

Alright, Thats fine rusty.

[jetflock]

thats one mighty big map, lol, i wouldn't know where to start.

[PumpkinSmasher]

Start at the beginning

[jetflock]

Ok ok. At the moment I am getting to know the map. I have already replaced a few missing textures. Lemme see what I can do before its passed on.
On another note, I need map level names for anyone who hasn't posted a title so I can finish the mapname graphics and whomever can change the level names in the dehacked patch.
And....
I have created a special "guns" add on specifically for ndcp II. *cacraz*
my brain feels :o .

[General Greivous]

A few things about Straniero Complex that may help whoever takes up the daunting task of finishing it:

-The exit area of the map (not made yet) is the storage for the reactor coolant to be emptied into (reactors being those pillars with the transparent green texture).
-There are six pits which need to be filled with the coolant liquid, a sort of bridge between each pit seperating the six pits from eachother as they fill up.
-In order to reach the exit, you must dump all the coolant into these pits so you can walk across them to the exit on the other side.
-There should probably be enough monsters in the pits so that when you fall in you die.
-There is a an area located -->here (http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/5922/ndcpmap13gs0.gif)<--. I intended for slime falls to start pouring into those drains in each hexagon from the shafts in the ceilings, one each time you start draining coolant into the pools.
-The rest of the map is, as you've seen, extremely detailed for the most part and has a lot of areas. Each section seperated from the main area you start in via teleport was intended to be itself a sort of mini-map where you go to release another floodgate to fill one of the pits leading to the exit.
-I was going to put another teleporter/corridor/lift/something leading to the coolant tanks area with the exit so you can constantly see it while running back and forth, near the area fairly center of the map with the biggest reactor in the center.

Hope this kind of helps you with some ideas or where to go from here. I think the dark alien texture theme is pretty apparent, and I doubt there'll be any continuity issues as we have some great mappers here :)

[jetflock]

ok, I can't handle all that. I fixed a couple minor things but I cannot invest the time to do all those nifty things GG wants in the map ( not to mention keeping up with his particular style which is very diff from mine). So if anyone wants what I have let me know, or you can just start fresh with what GG released.

[General Greivous]

It's understandable most people cannot invest that much time into a map. With the way I worded the above, it probably sounds a lot more complicated than it is, too. Most of it is simply switches and rising sectors, but when I make maps I tend to think of them as something more advanced and try to make sense of them (that's how I end up with maps coming out the way they do.) so the descriptions come out a lot more detailed than what is actually there or done.

I just recently thought of someone in the community that isn't around much anymore, but might be able to finish this map. I'm going to try to contact him soon. If not, then I'll try my best to make time to finish this map myself.

Still no luck finding Map 23. I have a couple complete maps from a project that was scrapped way back when that I'll submit instead if my searches continue to prove fruitless. I find it hard to believe I deleted that map, but with as cluttered as my three hard drives are (yes, three), it's not an impossibility.

[ace]

Well sheeit.

It figures that right after I post up the fixed version of my map I find a bug that prevents some monsters from teleporting. DAMN YOU MURPHY! :p

At any rate, I took the time I used to fix the problem to go ahead and replace the song with something of my own instead. So there's that.

FOR REAL THIS TIME: http://www.speedyshare.com/298668889.html

Just call it 101%. ;)

That sounds very complicated.
