Modified version of ns2_biodome that now includes water textures and adjusted lighting.

Map name is tentative for the time being. Might change it to ns2_biodome_water depending on feedback.

Original version created by Unknown Worlds Entertainment.
Modified version by Kalopsia.

If UWE have a problem with this, let me know and I will remove it from the workshop.

Enjoy!

    That looks good, not sure though if that's really useful for players or something. I'm waiting for the day we can finally find a wonderful water aesthetic and not only textures. But these screenshots make me want to try it out on a server.

    i originally planned cradle to take place in an underwater facility, but gave up on that aspect due to a lack of convincing water and underwater props

    There are plenty of underwater props
    There are the props used in tunnels which look like coral and kelp
    There are bubbles from biodome, water textures, underwater ambience sounds, caustics

    might revist it the idea then, i also struggled with the lighting might just take abit of work


    without animated vegetation though it looks very static, also animated fish would go along way.

    The tunnel tentacles, and polyps are animated. You can also use things like cinematics/environment/biodome/mosquitos_glow.cinematic, the biodome outdoor floor.

    Thanks for the ideas.

    Took me about three hours to put this together yesterday. I will continue modifying it today and over the coming weeks.

    Map has now been updated to include 100% more bubbles and quite possibly the best secret room you will ever see ;)

    Next I will be focusing on removing trees and replacing them with something better.

    So, water themed biodome? Sounds like a cool aesthetic.

    Map has been updated:

    - Modified entry to secret room so Onos and Exo can enter
    - Added collision geometry in secret room to prevent players from getting stuck
    - Added collision geometry in secondary secret room to prevent players from getting stuck when they enter

    Why does this map look so much better underwater? It really fits.

    I hope all the locations are being aptly renamed,
    e.g. Bamboo Pass --> Kelp Pass,
    Agri Labs --> Algae Labs
    Canopy --> Shelf
    Hydroponics --> Hydrocity Zone
    Atmospheric Seeding --> SeaLab 2014
    etc etc

    This looks gooooooooooood

    Just make sure to also change a little bit in the map itself. I mean, else the layout is just a clone?
    I know changing layout a bit will affect balance but still.. a broken leaking water tube here, a inaccessible flooded compartment there..

    Like the work so far, according to screenshots. :)

    @DC_Darkling‌, it is just a clone. It does look really cool. I think it looks better than biodome. The readyroom is much fun. Needs more visible outside waterways.

    I almost think an underwater theme would fit this map better than the biodome theme.

    @Kalopsia Are you still working on this map? I like the idea. And I think if you slightly change some rooms, too it would also be played on servers. The guys left some pretty good ideas for you I think :smiley:
