[stevelois]

Map name: Station 12

Last version released: 15 Mai 2009

Story / Histoire:

Station 12 is one of many stations owned by the LRC. Situated on the top of a huge mountain on Alpha system, the station was established following a new discovery during a routine inspection of the soil. In fact, the rocks from the top of this mountain as well as is soil are composed of an energy out of the ordinary. This energy, spreads out from the rocks, it is a form of clean energy, clean enough to power electronic devices as well as certain defense system like the ION cannons. Some devices draw their power directly into the soil. This mountain is also developing a powerful magnetism enough powerful to have a circular field of asteroids. Which is very unusual? Small doses of this energy can be seen at some places; they have the effect of repulse any foreign body that comes close but are not dangerous. Unfortunately for the LRC, the rock energy combine with the high magnetism of this mountain causes the robots workers to malfunction. For various reasons, the LRC had to withdraw is workers robots just before the commissioning of the station and left the station available for future fighting since it is now useless.

Station 12 est l’une des nombreuses stations d’exploitation de la LRC. Située sur le sommet d’une immense montagne du système Alpha, cette station a été instaurée suite à une nouvelle découverte lors d’une inspection de routine des sols. En fait, les roches du haut de ce montage ainsi que son sol sont composées d’une énergie hors de l’ordinaire. Cette énergie, s’émane de la roche en une forme d’énergie propre non polluante assez puissante pour alimenter des appareils électroniques ainsi que certain système de défense comme les cannons à ION. Certains appareils puisent leur énergie directement dans le sol. Cette montagne développe aussi un magnétisme assez puissant pour y avoir un champ circulaire d’astéroïdes. Ce qui est hors du commun? De petites doses de cette énergie peuvent être perçues à quelques endroits, elles ont pour effet de propulser tout corps étranger qui s’en approche mais ne sont pas dangereuses. Malheureusement pour la LRC, l’émanation de cette énergie combinée avec le magnétisme de cette montagne très élevé provoque de mauvais fonctionnement chez les robots ouvriers. Pour plusieurs raisons, la LRC à dû retirer ses robots ouvriers juste avant la mise en service de cette station & la laisse disponible pour de futurs combats puisqu’elle s’avère inutilisable.

nice to see the final m8.

and em....why have none of my maps had a review?

[stevelois]

Good, hope you like it

But heu... what do you mean by a review

[SEBASTIEN-NOVA]

Hey Steve,
here come the D-day !
I can't believe it !

After so long times and efforts, your baby is finally born lol , houra !!

I D/L it right now

[Odedge]

After so long times and efforts, your baby is finally born lol , houra !!

Is it a boy or a girl?

Congrats Steve on your efforts paying off. The map turned out really nice. I especially like the new platform (with the shield belt) as it gives that end of the map some more z-axis fighting.

The map looks very nice, plays well and I can tell the effort you put into it. Thanks for the kinds words and I was happy to help some one who cares how their map turns out.

p.s. You should probably reformat the first post in the thread so there are 3 rows of pictures. This will shorten the width of the first page. It's the beta tester in me, sue me!

[stevelois]

LOL

Most importantly, "l'accouchement" doesn't hurt lolll

Yup, I'm happy & hope that it run fine on your pc

[g0th]

Cool. Nice work Steve

[stevelois]

[g0th]

Heh, I there are parts of the map that I do like and other parts that I told you about that I find less good.

Seeing some of the screens from you new map I think that looks really good.

[diesalot]

Sorry to ear that your map as being ridiculed. I never done reviews so indeed, I'm not the person you maybe thought I be.

Ho, funny, because the next one is looking rather dull & ugly at this stage even worst that DM-Station 12 was in the beginning at the same time.

But thx for the compliment

And I thought that you didn't like it since you didn't post back after beta 2...

RC1 & final are almost the same (FPS speaking). I did what I could to optimize the map but if you have the same type of PC of mine, you should get good FPS with no drop out

Have fun

THX for posting folks

[EpicJon]

Happy you like it

Ho, I see

Well, I must admit that when people don't post, I assume that there isn't any interest at all so...

Give me some news after playing, I'm curious to know if you have any problem & if it run well

i wish i could give the kind of in depth constructive criticism that you share with us so often, but i'm still stuck at "keeper" and i'll let sit at that.

thank you for this, and for your efforts. really killer first project.

THX for posting so at least, it shows some of you like it & that is encouraging me of putting the same amount of efforts on the next one

Hey Steve, I finally got a chance to check out your map now that I'm slowly coming out of my own mapping hell... You did a REALLY good job on this one and made something with a very unique look and feel. I really like how you used altered materials on meshes to create a new look. I'm personally very sick of the stock UT3 assets (probably mostly due to making a map with them) so it is very refreshing to see them changed up a bit. I did a little bit of that myself on my SpaceNoxx remake (which I will probably put out shortly).

I will definitely put it into rotation on my server. Thanks!
