description: I have always been interested in a paticular area of mars, So i decided i'd make a Renalert map based in this area of mars. I put alot of hard work into the map, and ive known about this area since the release of the images, and i've always been fasinated in the thought that were not alone. In 1976 the viking got pictures of,(and have gotten even more up to 2001). The area itself, just seems to artifical to be done with wind or errosion, which many speculate still to this day. Scientists analized the pictures, and discovered alot of the area had Pyramids similar to the ones we have in Egypt. With 100% straight edges, and all being symetrical. There is also one called the D&M pyramid, and its 5 sided, and all the edges match up equally. There is a large area that is situated west where there is what looks like an ancient city. It has 4 main pyramids, and other features that look like mounds. The face is where the most intrest is on. It is to the north east. and is 1500 feet in high. It has perfectly straight edges around the outside of the area, then in the middle you can almost perfectly see two eye sockets, a nose, and part of a lip. Mars is billions of years old, so it is possible that these have been erroded so much that most the key features are gone. Well thats the story about it, i just thought for some that don't know about it, there is the information for you so you know what i did with it. My map however only features the areas i have the most intrest in, and alot of it is squished into a smaller radius so it is more action packed. This will have just a barracks each, and a silo, as well as spawning vehicles to roam the terrain. Here is my picture of it, with a couple real pictures to compare the areas. I only focused on the city, D&M pyramid, and the face. Other features i added myself, to make it more thrashed up. just more reference. If anyone has any mars textures, i know Aircraftkiller did for the old cnc mars, but perhaps there is better ones around. …

description: Naamloos Will infantry be able to jump higher? Yea maybe, i still haven't decided on that part yet. I did however texture it simply with the ones provided from Renalert, but I'm still in need of better ones. As you can tell it looks pretty basic, and not much to it with these textures. I want to have it blended with atleast 5 different textures according to hight.

description: ummm... why would there be a human face on Mars? that terrain feature has probably existed for much longer than humans, and from different angles it's obviously just a hill. I just don't understand why people jump to conclusions (same thing with the UFOs, what eveidence is there really that they are made by aliens) The map's pretty good though, someone actually tries to make another map set on Mars.

description: I bet that a human skull was launched into space on accident during the Black Plague because it was plagued and they tried to put it in a trebuchet to launch far away into current day France. Anyhow the skull reached escape velocity and was launched into space. It flew a tad, and crash landed on mars face up. Over the centuries to come, it got slowly covered in red mars dust, of the finest grain which allowed the features below to be clearly seen and magnified. That's my Theory on the matter.

description: ummm... why would there be a human face on Mars? that terrain feature has probably existed for much longer than humans, and from different angles it's obviously just a hill. A hill you say. Well i have seen dozens of pictures of the face, even 3d renderes done with data from the original pictures. If it is billions of years old, you dont perhaps think there is a small possibility that there was an old civilization there? I just don't understand why people jump to conclusions (same thing with the UFOs, what eveidence is there really that they are made by aliens) The same reason why we explore the universe to find out what we don't know. There is so much to life that we will never know, and our belifs would change alot if there was any discoveries, even if it was just a microbe on mars, it would still prove were not alone The map's pretty good though, someone actually tries to make another map set on Mars.[/quote] Another idea could be that possibly we are the second generation of humans, maybe life existed the same way as it did in the egyptian times on mars trillions of years ago. Then the all life died on mars and at some other point int he future life started on Earth and began its second generation and have now exceeded our 1st generation in life. Yea thats almost exactly what i belive. I just don't think there is any way this area of mars is natural, and thats only 1% of the planet. Scientists analized the rocks, and information, to discover an ancient sea. The blue areas, represent where there once was water, as many people may know there is even solar ice caps there, just waiting to melt in another million years lol, and as scientists belive, "Where there is water, There is life". I still need to find textures though, plus i always find this type of thing facinating, and like to hear what everyone else thinks etc.

To safely make it through they would of had to have 5 foot thick lead walls. Which they didnt. We got the hubble, that can see galaxies millions of miles away, but we still cant see the landing zone....Right. Anyway, the "skull" is a massive mountain that just has shade on it. Thats it.

Heh, that's funny, because they're still using the laser reflectors placed on the Moon by the Apollo Astronauts to measure its exact distance from the Earth. And how would you explain why thousands of people worked on the project, sooner or later the truth would've been leaked. Not to mention, how would they be able to perfectly simulate low gravity and a vacuum. About the radiation belts, as long as the spacecraft doesn't stay in the worst parts for too long the occupants would hardly be harmed (of course a mission to Jupiter would be a different story).

You'll see what I'm saying as truth when they look at Venus, Jupiter and its moons, Neptune and its moons, Uranus, and even Mercury. Life is not limited to carbon-based forms, or physical entities. What?look at the definition of life: life n. pl. lives 1. The property or quality that distinguishes living organisms from dead organisms and inanimate matter, manifested in functions such as metabolism, growth, reproduction, and response to stimuli or adaptation to the environment originating from within the organism. What you speak of is something else entirely. The only places that even have a chance for life to exist are: Mars-There's substantial evidence to support this, but all the life is microbial (It may have even come from Earth) Europa (Jupiter)-The tides of jupiter have probably keep its interior heated to produce hydrothermal vents and melt the ice. Titan (Saturn)-It's a long shot, and the life would have to be methane based, but we'll find out when huygens …

Renalert textures are okish, but just doesnt look like a martian surface using those ones. I tried creating my own, but that was a failed attempt to, so if anyone has any textures which are kinda like dirt, then send them over so i can try them out. Thanks.

Also, explain how we got all the information we have from the moon, and why we would waste a lot of money on all of those shuttles and trainings.

description: No going to the moon was not faked, to think that is pretty crazy. There is over 20,000 pictures from the apollo missions, and there is just no point to fake something like going to the moon. Neil armstrong was very talkative, and almost told to much information in most cases. Neil was responsible for most of the tasks, because he was a very skilled and well trusted person. They did go to the moon, and how can it be faked if they came down in the capsule from space? So does that mean they stage it? invite hundreds of thousands of people to see the landing, of a faked craft? lol. Neil armstrong lived on, as well as the others who went to the moon, so what are you talking about oblivion, just facts you read on some site from some guy with no education? You need to do more research before you blurt something as crazy as we never have been to the moon. On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first man to step onto the surface of the Moon. He was followed by Edwin Aldrin, both of the Apollo 11 mission. The astronauts also experienced gravitational differences. The moon's gravity is one-sixth that of the Earth's; a man who weighs 180 lbf (pound-force) on Earth weighs only 30 lbf on the Moon. (The equivalent metric weight (or force) is the Newton, where 4.45 Newtons equal one pound-force.) The Apollo and Luna missions returned 382 kilograms (840 pounds) of rock and soil from which three major surface materials have been studied: the regolith, the maria, and the terrae. Micrometeorite bombardment has thoroughly pulverized the surface rocks into a fine-grained debris called the regolith. The regolith, or lunar soil, is unconsolidated mineral grains, rock fragments, and combinations of these which have been welded by impact-generated glass.

If you can just post screenshots of the actual textures, i can just save them I'm pretty much done all the terrain work, ive shaped it alot more, the face is much more visible as well from above. I've also got a Ufo model im going to add crashed into the ground for effect. this isent the same terrain, i just loaded the model to this so you can see it better Well thats all for now, i just need to texture it , and add a crapload of rocks and boulders to the map.

description: icedog90 Sims 2 = rocks. Its so much like the old ones, im already getting bored of playing it lol. I went ahead, and textured the map. Earlier i had some major texture problems, because the textures were either to bright or to dark. I went in photoshop, and toned them all down, making them the same blend of texture, so now i think its ready for the spawn points and a quick test, then ill redo the texturing as usual and add the buildings, as well as the objects. I always texture my maps a few times, so i get more ideas on how to blend it, and where etc, this way it looks the best i can get it when i blend for the 3rd time. Id like to perhaps replace the moon texture with a texture Of one of jupiters moons, so more blueish with lots of cracks in it representing thick ice etc. If its an easy change ill do it, but im not sure. Id also like to have other planets within the sky shader, so if anyone knows more info on that subject give me a pm or something. This was taken about 50 metres away from the edge of the map. The backdrop extends another 700 metres from the edge. Thats the face, hard to see with the fog, but you can clearly see the indents for the eyes and mouth. Thats just a large dip created from large peices of rock getting tossed in the wind. And of course i can't leave out the above view. Don't mind the crap scaling because with the fog you wont even notice the difference ingame.

description: I worked alot more on the map recently, and worked out my Level edit problem somewhat. I now have a fairly decent beta of the map, with low gravity vehicles. The gravity is set to 0.80, instead of 2.25, so there is a huge difference now when you drive. Infantry is set to jump normally for now though. I plan on having the final version with the lowest visibility i can create, because on mars there is so many dust storms going on that, you usually cant see very far. Right now its set so you can see 200 meters with the fog, but i want it more like 50 when im done with it lol. I still also need to add tons of boulders, as my fps is doing fine even as is, with the background of the map being 5 times larger then the actual play area, there isen't much fps dropping yet. So i plan on shortening the distance to a mear 150-200 metres, and having lots of fog, and Tons and tons of rocks and boulders. Anyways, if you would like to try the beta of it, umm i gotta find a place to upload it lol, otherwise you can page me on Aim (Blazea58) and i can send it to you from there. Here is a shot from my earlier test with lots of visibility. Just shows more distance. Burning out on the sand, due to low gravity. Hoss was having fun jumping out of vehicles in mid air. Just me doing a Phat endo Good view The sad ending.

description: lol the clouds were basically just added to make it a tad darker, yet keeping the same glow in the sky, as 19:30, was what i used, and if i had any more then it would turn into a darkish blue sky When im done with it, ill take that advise though, as i wasen't quite thinking lol.

description: Quote: Mars has about 1/3 the gravity of Earth. Make the gravity 1/3 of what it usally is, then its exactly like Mars. Aircraftkiller, Mars does have clods, but they are Very thin, not here like on earch where you can spot a cloud easy, its hard because they are high up, and thin. There also red/pink so the blend in with the atmosphre. Blazea, if you want rocks, put them in, in lots of diffrent sizes, Big and small. And maybe a meteor? A largish Crater, with the meteor gone, seeming they explode and scatter, make it just like a blast crater, with scorch marks. But the map looks very cool and promising. Keep up the work.

Yea every single rock will be different, as i have a really good technique for doing that. A meteor sounds good, i already have many large craters, where i could just add a large meteor like rock, and many boulders as well. I guess i have alot more work to do then i expected, like usual.

description: SioxerNic Hey i know im stuffed up with work...... but i could make a Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) for you. If you not already done the map. Yea if you would like to give it a go, id be more then happy to add it, as i couldn't come up with a fair design, plus other people were saying to make it enterable etc, so i just don't know what i want exactly. Im 50% done adding boulders and rocks, there is around 200 right now, and im adding another 300 ish to the map. The rocks average between 10-36 polygons tops, per peice. The Maps polygon count still sits at 15,000 so i can still do a fair amount to the map.

description: Well i finally got this map to the point where all i need to do is the level edit work, and a few texture changes. I'm going to try and get this out for both renegade and Renalert, and have them both similar. This will be a classic Deathmatch, but with rangers and supply trucks to cruise around in. And for renegade it would be cargo trucks, and buggies. Here are a few screenshots from where its at right now. Ive gone and added exactly 184 rocks and boulders to the map, and they weigh in at 4500 polygons total, so its pretty much worth the detail. The full polygon count sits at 16,500, so there is still alot of room to add more to it if needed. http://www.n00bstories.com/image.fetch.php?id=1332601036 http://www.n00bstories.com/image.fetch.php?id=1267209996 Far away with less fog. http://www.n00bstories.com/image.fetch.php?id=1097611064 No fog , and zoomed out. http://www.n00bstories.com/image.fetch.php?id=1168549256 http://www.n00bstories.com/image.fetch.php?id=1394778358

description: PCWizzardo Make sure to increase the traction settings on the vehicles to offset the lower gravity! Also reduce the Spring Constant to make it springier. Yea i already have the vehicles setup perfectly for it, and around 1/3 of earths gravity. The spring constant has been pushed down 10-20,000 for them , as well as 2.000 for traction on most, if not more. Good idea non the less, ill make sure i test it out before hand. The only problem is that i was going to get the beta for renegade and renalert tonight, but i needed someone to make me an object.ddb mod with low gravity infantry, because its been a while and i have forgotten how. All i would need is all the infantry to either have 0.80 gravscale, or the jump hight being changed aproximently with the same effects. I do have stalgren working on one, but it wont be done till tommorow, and i didnt really tell him how i needed it. So yea if anyone can make one in a matter of an hour that would be cool, and your choice, either renegade or renalert, depending on what you have, because im doing it for both games.

Stalgren did a very nice job at replacing the moon texture with something similar to earth, so it really does add to the experience. Both maps will fully release on friday, and ill have them uploaded to a website hopefully be then also. Here is the new replacement.

description: Aprime Hum, I suggest you replace it with one of Mars' moons instead, because seeing the moon at such a huge scale is quite stupid concidering that we can't even see it at this scale, so why people located on Mars would? In the first place i thoguht the texture was supposed to be earth, but its not. Stalgren said its Ganymede. Little info about it. Quote: Ganymede is the largest moon in the solar system, even larger than the planet Mercury. (At one time Titan, Saturn's moon, was thought to be larger, but this was a mistake.) It is the second-furthest from Jupiter of the 4 Galilean moons, closer than Callisto but further than Io and Europa. Its mean distance from Jupiter is about 15.1 Jupiter Radii, and it orbits every 7.2 days. The same side of the moon always faces Jupiter. Ganymede is mostly water-ice, but with more impurities (silicates) than the ice of Europa. The surface gravity is about 1/7th of Earth's. This is just a closer up shot of the planet he used. I just got the object.ddb from stalgren which has it all setup. I just have to test a few things , then start the final version. The textures that had to be replaced were as follows: Fullmoon.dds Moonhalo.dds partmoon.dds Seems that all i had to do was stick those in my editor catche so the game would read those instead of the original ones.
