NDCP Review!

[Ninja_of_DooM]

And If I'm correct, he also made map 30 too. But yes, it's good to see you again BlackFyre. Now who's got the deck of cards?

I ought to get back into mapping at some point. And I maybe should go for less excessive detail. Making super-detailed stuff is ok but it takes an age to sort out the deluge of bugs that pop up. I'll leave the Ãœber detail work for my painting.

Oh and map 14 sucks!! Nah, not really. I remember my rushed prototype map for NDCP, I think I had called it "Killing Floors" or something like that. After a crappy outdoor area, cramped corridor and crappy looking front desk I think I ended up spawning "Courtyard of DooM" which was just a little less unbearable. And even when Jailbreak was done, I ended up rebuilding most of it with the new textures.

Good Job with the reviews, I'm not too surprised with the reviews I got considering when I made the maps.

[Ninja_of_DooM]

Exactly how long has it been since the project was started anyways?

[Doom_Dude]

Longer than it takes to paint a regiment of your figures.

[Ninja_of_DooM]

Well yeah. I only took about 3 weeks to do that squad of Guardians in total. But you should see some of the stuff that people do for the Golden Demon contest. People will spend weeks painting models right down to the minute details.

But if you do well enough there and get top prize in that contest you get a sword as your prize.

[Doom_Dude]

Sounds cool Ninja.

By the way I had to moderate BlackFyre's posts that were placed within the sections for the actual NDCP map reviews (you can't post in those sections and if you do your post won't be viewable by non-moderators). I was wondering why they were showing up for validation in the mod control panel area. So I moved them to this thread and merged them so everybody can see what he had to say ---> linkage: http://forums.newdoom.com/showpost.p...1&postcount=17

That's a bit of a bad story, but enough time has passed that I can now talk about it publicly. To make a long story short, My (now ex) wife went completely off her rocker, and torched My computer, along with many of My patient records and personal belongings. She is now in jail AND divorced, and will be remaining incarcerated for quite some time.

Wow, that's really heavy stuff what happened there!. Anyway, real life issues deserve all our attention and respect so there's really nothing bad in the way the map turned out.

As for map30, I am sure as hell that I saw the HOM (I think that I saw it in front of the face) but I don't think that matters now, does it?. It took a very long time for me to play and write those reviews and I hardly can remember any of the maps right now... The thing I most remember about map30 was that once you knew what to do it would be easy enough to finish it fast but in the meantime you would wander around, thinking about it. What I don't really remember is darkness and secrets there :S, will I download the NDCP to see it again for myself?.

Anyway, glad to see some discussion spawned here people, makes the effort a bit more worthy.

[PumpkinSmasher]

And on that note, NDCP2 is expected to be released sometime this year.

I found the HOM you described when I played the map again. It's the remains of a sector trick I was attempting, and didn't work out (I was attempting to create an invisible ledge leading to one of the secret areas).

Who says I am expected to play and review it ?.
Also, well, sure, this year. Sure.

So it was there . You can always remove it and ask for Doom_Dude to reupload the whole thing. I'm not sure if he will be happy with it though :S.

Wich project?. The reviews?. The NDCP?. The NDCP2?. Nice girl in your avatar also. I don't think she's "She-Wolf" so, new girlfriend anyone ?.

[Ninja_of_DooM]

I was referring to the NDCP. Sorry, I should have been more specific.

As to your other question. Well you guessed right. You win! If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have gotten my self esteem back and or be so eager to study for a better job once I get back into work.

[Danimetal]

Mine's the sword prize!. Congratulations pal, girls are wonderful! (and boys too, just reversed... or something :P). May you have many happy days and, of course, a good job .

As for the NDCP2... Not sure, I think it has been running for a year and a bit.

Edit: Now that I think of it, the NDCP2 was announced when the original NDCP was released so it's just about doing the math with the Idgames archive or the appropriate forum thread. Please, tell me we haven't been already three years into this XD!.

[Ninja_of_DooM]

Thank you Dani. I hope it'll be a long one too. But it's painful right now. To cut the story short (seeing as this is a map review thread and I don't want to hijack it) we're now seperated by a big old pond and using MSN as means to keep things going, but things are going strong. We're both nuts about each other and I won't give this up over a few hundred miles of water. At least I have a webcam so she can see me. Cracks me up whenever she calls me her big choco-cookie!

[Danimetal]

Hey, don't worry, many people have had this situation before and have carried them out great . Brings back memories, back then I didn't even have a webcam or knew what Internet was (not that internet was in my country back then XD) and spent all my money in telephone calls...

Webcams (the Internet, so to speak) have made these things easier as now all that is left is the touch and the smell of the person to feel the closeness... Damn, with a computer like mine's you can even feal the person's warmth (my comp gets really heathen up)!!.

Keep going strong and patient, hope you get to reunite soon .

Now back to the reviews thread... Come on, more people, tell your friends to read this and come here to praise, whine or talk!!!.

[Ninja_of_DooM]

Maybe we should have this put this up on the front page if it hasn't already been done. A couple of links to here should do the trick.

[Doom_Dude]

I figured that was your girlfriend when I saw the new avatar. She looks nice.

Yes I did post about this when they released the reviews a few weeks ago.

If BlackFyre wants to fix the Hom, then I don't mind doing a rerelease. Before I do that, I would have to see what else should be fixed. Might take a bit of effort on my part.

Sorry, my bad.

[Doom_Dude]

Haha.

So are you doing any mapping at all N_O_D?

[Ninja_of_DooM]

Not now. I kind of stopped after I released HTI2 last year.
