Nexuiz Ninjaz - Practicing the Ninja Art of Nexuiz

The idea of ninja school has been long in the making and while there was a little dip in interest during the move to 2.4, a few ninjaz have been hard at work. The idea of a map specifically for learning 'the ninja arts of Nexuiz' is fast becoming a reality. It all started with AceOfThumb's "Teaching map ideas" thread which Sven happened to take interest in months after the idea's original conception. Moo, our famous friend from below (he made that giant kitchen map) also took interest in the idea.

This has lead to the development of two maps of two different styles, based on the same objectives. Helping new players learn. Sven's map "Dojo" is a bit buggy (missing textures, some entity errors) but his screenshots are awesome. Moo's thread for his map, "thedojo", which is currently more developed than "Dojo" is available for play on BC3. Just type "vcall chmap thedojo".

If you don't know what BC3 is, you can ask about it on IRC.

I've also been doing some design work:

GJ, I want to say, the map is available on each BC. I hope the hud is ready soon.

Nice work on the hud -z-! I love health/armor hud bar! And ty for making this a news article! Anyways, yes. All people who have comments about 'thedojo', please post them up at the link provided above.

I agree with the health/armor bar status. It's more visual and easier to have a split second glance at it to see how much left you got instead of using our dumb brains to calculate :)

whats "8:51" , "12:00" and "to 15" ? :P
and why are some weapons yellow , green and violet .. can't figure out what it means

Err? I can guess that 8:51 is how long people've been playing, and that 15 is the timelimit. I have no clue what 12:00 is. Weapons being different colors is just GUI pleasure to your eyes.

I like it. Good job -z-

12:00 is the timelimit. 15 is the flag cap limit. the colors are to help distinguish the weapons.

i really like that new design

Are you going to be finished with that soon? Because i would really like to try it out :]

Very nice map! Great for training, thanks for the work
