Help Wanted - The Unvanquished Mod [Concept]

[player1]

Hi,

We're currently seeking mappers (and tutors) who would like to help us create a Three-team or Third Race mod for Tremulous. If you have such skills, and are interested in helping us create such a mod, take a look below, and PM me, or join the discussion at The Unvanquished, A Third Race Mod [Concept] Proposal for Tremulous.

Cheers!

some useful info (to follow):

mappers for a modding job?

or do you mean mappers to map for three teams?

[player1]

We mean mappers to make maps suitable for three-team play, and in the interim, to develop layouts for the existing maps, and help the modeler and the skinner to produce usable assets.

Thank you for your interest in this mod. How would you like to help?

[your face]

I'd love to after I finish quite a few current projects.

Your reputation precedes you, and we welcome your input, your face. We've added some other interesting team members, just in the last few days/hours. Stop by our new forums and register, look for us on irc, or just click on my sig-link, and join in the discussion. We look forward to hearing from helpful members of the community, such as yourself, and anyone who is interested in helping us to create maybe the best mod of all time, anywhere. At least in my mind.

tl;dr: thx faes cya SOON, i hope

[Plague Bringer]

player1, on behalf of the community, I thank you. Perhaps with a reliable and well known face behind such a mod, there will be a success, and an end to the endless 'THIRD RACE PLZ' threads.

[Amanieu]

But then we'll get FOURTH RACE PLZ threads

[your face]

And with proper motivation, we'll hope this doesn't end up like orbital station...

Yeah, I'll help. I'll make my Al-Minak 3 map with three races in mind.

Good luck in making the would-be ATCS for 3 races.

BTW, I don't map but I had an idea, perhaps someone can use it. A map shaped like a three-pronged fork. The 3 default bases are at the tips of the fork and are of average quality, while at the handle there's a super cool spot for a base. The idea being that all three teams rush to secure it.

"Cool" meaning easy access to the rest of the base, easy to to defend etc.

[player1]

I like it.

I also like the idea of a map with three areas radiating 120 degrees from one another, evenly separated. I think that could be done in a variety of ways: long open arcades across an exotic skymap; dungeon-like passageways with tunnels and staircases in a haunted temple; a huge circular three-way arena, with zones of semi-cover at regular intervals, etc.

I would also like to see three floors of a building (with the "middle" floor in terms of height in another wing).

The thing that really excites me is going back to some of the more-unused maps (especially some of the larger ones) to see if they would benefit from a new three-team layout, or if they would be more playable as HvU or AvU maps, instead of whatever "flaws" they allegedly had as AvH maps.

I look forward to hearing your ideas and seeing your maps, guys. Thanks for your comments, and for keeping this Mod [Concept] alive.

Cheers!

[player1]

He's a prodigy. You look at his first release, then his latest release and the difference is astounding, time is fleeting.

Madness takes its toll
But listen closely, not for very much longer
I've got to keep control

I remember when Face made his first map
Flaming those moments when
The blackness would hit me and the void would be calling
Let's do the time warp again...
Let's do the time warp again!
