@Legs aw thanks :>

Still one of the best maps ever made
Reminds me of Dead Space

So thats why its called Dat-1

Even if it comes very late congrats on getting your map ingame as official addition. The game surely needs lots of additional maps.. Now we just need a proper Tanith map remake which also was a fantastic map back in ns1 days..

Since Caged has been included in the game officially, this mod is now empty. Thanks to everyone for playing it during it's three-and-a-half year mod life! <3

Is there any plan of UWE to include this map as an official one? This definately deserves!

Awesome! more maps more fun but... this game need somethink new like tons of new building and upgrades :C

What is a welder point?

legit map btw

sorry but without welder points in NS2 this map has issiues.

Thanks for the useful feedback!

This map is terrible.

Thanks for all the recent updates!

love your work, keep it up, im still trying to work on my map as well so i know how long it takes, but it looks really good and as always, i offer an extention of the olive branch if needed =)

Cool.

Once I get a bigger playerbase on my server, I'll poll them to see if they'd be willing to help you test it.
My server's been up for a little over a week now.

So the failure to connect was a workshop issue. If you still experience problems, have a look here: http://forums.unknownworlds.com/discussion/comment/2203653

@Awful McBad, I still have a large number of rooms to detail, and the recent change of hive room from Generator to Auxiliary Generator needs to prove to be a good fix. It's playable now, but with a large portion looking more like an NS1 map.

How close to finished is this?
I'd like to put it on my server, for some good old NS1 nostalgia.

A few days ago, still can't download it - subsequently cannot join servers with it installed

@xtc_rush, that's strange, we test the map regularly with new players joining each time. When did this first start?

anyone else having problems getting this mod/map ? tried everything ..... wont download in steam workshop , wont download when trying to join the map in game , just sits on 0% the whole time ...... wasted an hour trying so far , getting quite frustrated

Break room lol i mean who would have a chill out there???

will aux gen is now a tech point becuase marines :/

sorry lol its ok tech point becuase marines doesnt care for gen

sv_changemap ns2_Caged

hm..

Thanks guys. :)

@The Tick, I had a tech point in the center during early development, but with the center already being a strong foothold to have with just one res node, it was a little overpowered as tech point.

@|-DMD-| Rusty, with elevators not existing in (vanilla) NS2, it's all gotta be ramps and stairs. I doubt the community would appreciate elevators by now, even if it were possible somehow.

Lots of memories from NS1 - that's for sure. One thing you are missing was that elevator in Shipping Tunnels. That elevator was such a big pain in the ass - as well as the vents overtop from the arcing positions. It was a lot of fun though. I'm really thankful for your time you put into this map and I have it running on NS2 Diamonds for the time being to test it out. - Again thank you - and I can't wait to see it when you've got it done.

Got the map added to my server, ticks BG #1, I have checked the map out and looked quite playable already so I thought I would give ti a go, maybe a tip, the middle looks really tempting for a tech poiunt :)

Good point, will add mod id in the description here. Thanks.

mod id 63c559c

Amazing map, keep up the good work!

http://ausns2.org/league.php?r=schedule&leagueid=1
Round 7! We're at round 6 currently.

@AurOn 男 Awesome! :D When does that start? I have some layout changes in the works.

We're going to be having the map on the ausns2.org league! :D

alien do need some cover in the tunnels. then again, they need speed to vastly grab those human necks... i personally think it will take eons to perfectlly fit a map with templates. especially one like Science_Lab. plan your layout alongside this fact. good example is Triad. respect for your work though. when you think about the time valve puts in a map for a game like l4d, everyone knows what not to expect. Thx

@Nutero, ahh there. That's fixed for the next release. :)

@flaterectomy, changed the profile.

@Nutero, your profile is private.

when you look at my newest screenshot at my profile page you'd see which stairs i mean. on the left side of the stairs...

@Nutero, not knowing whuch room you're referring to I did a pass of the whole map, and found a missing texture in Marine Start. Is that the one you meant?

found a texture missing next to the info shield you placed. ns2_caged etc. next to the stairs

The issues are resolved, and Caged works properly again.

I tried to publish an update today, but for some reason it broke the map and I cannot figure out what's wrong. I'm sorry it cannot be played at the moment, I hope that soon this foul magic will dissipate as inexplicably as it appeared.

Nice one we need more NS2 maps this is one of the most promising community maps

And at long last I am home again. Work on Caged will resume soon. \o/

Thanks, Oblivious, for relaying my notification. :D

Hello, I'm here on behalf of Flaterectomy to say that he hasn't abandoned caged. He has had an accident which has resulted in an overly long stay in hospital. He will return and begin working on caged in the near(ish) future.

@Doktor Mandrake - If you live in europe you should check out the Spark Crafter Collective UK server, has a 100% custom map rotation. You can find caged and other custom maps being played there.

Lol Flaterectomy, thank god this game will never require a gold account, or "hats". Oh how I miss the days of NS1 though.

What servers acctually play this map? I have trouble finding active servers with custom maps

@Scatter, that's NS2 Platinum Account only. :(

Does it come with hats? ^^

@Scatter, you just need to subscribe to the montly NS2 Gold Account and you get access to the Caged Textures DLC. :P

More textures pl0x

@Jekt, I'm currently focusing on building the hive room for co_portals. After that, it's back to Caged. :>
