Why are peole so concerned about r_speeds? Thats why I bought this Geforce4, to get those extra polygons!

I can't help is people are still living in the stone age.

That was off topic.

On topic: The map is nice! Lots of detail <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'> Keep going.

hey. thanks for some nice replys, i like them <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'>

Kompo: yes it's me. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'>

New shots comming very soon

Fieari · December 2002

I think the 2nd and 3rd shots are a little too dark. This is comming from a Khaara lover, so don't accuse me of being marine biased. You could add some spotlights... perhaps even flickering ones... but there needs to be contrast. Contrast doesn't mean all dark rooms and all light rooms. It means rooms that have heavy light and shadow. Give it a shot?

DjArcas · December 2002

Cafeteria?

Post the pics dude, I want to compare it off against my cafe and kitchen.

I forget the map name, with the Messhall in it... but it's only got one table in it... not a big station eh? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'>

Yamazaki · December 2002

Guys! Stop nitpicking about his lighting, he said the lighting wasn't finished. Just comment on his architecture.

Heist · December 2002

:: looks at the pictures :: see's more eclipse textures :: SCREAMS!!!! :: Dies ::

chubbysteve · December 2002

evol:ving:evil - heist: I empathise.

as for the actual architexture: hmm... it's okay, but I dunno... it needs something new to the 'eclipse' texture set.

Jedipunks · December 2002

What other textures is he suppose to use? One from his **obscenity**? He's not creating a mod, he's making a map, holy **obscenity**.

Still, a nice map.

marcos · December 2002

ok. I see u all dies about the eclipse textures. jes the textures are awesome <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'>

It's just 1 part of the map, that have theese textures. 1 part! As for my arcitecture. It sure coud have been better but i like it simple and clean, with smooth lines hehe..

thanks for the replys <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'>

Vyvn · December 2002

Looking good, despite the lack of contrast in the lighting that you are well aware of.

Comments:

First shot - Looks generally too flat. Add some details, supports, machinery, etc to the walls, and some height variation to the floors.

Second shot - Those bright light panels lining the floor look a little strange, since you have RAD lighting the whole texture, which causes the light's frame and such to be all bright. See PlagueBearer's article on additive textured lighting if you don't already know about it. Also, on the same note, the computer screens need to be bright. I believe there's a texture in ns_eclipse.wad (sorry Andrew) called "eclip_moniters" that you can overlay over the computer screens and set to rendermode: additive to achieve the effect.

Third shot - A lot of the same as above. It has more details than the first shot, but a little more can never hurt.

And about the textures...well, every single texture has been used at some point, right? While it's true that many, many maps are using the lab_ scheme, I just say Too D4mn Bad.

KungFuSquirrel · December 2002

Bah. Use that one. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'>

My concern with the unintentional release of ns_eclipse.wad wasn't with the overlays within, but rather the textures I had included into Eclipse's bsp file, which I had hoped to have to myself... So much for that idea, hehe...

biofrog · December 2002

Eh, the map looks pretty nice, but as everyone's already said, the eclipse textures are being seen to much <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wow.gif'>

Tazol · December 2002

If you need beta-testing for the map, I can hook you up with TiberionElite who has a 24player server and I bet everyone would love to try a new map, since we've all practically mastered every other one. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'>

BiTMAP · December 2002

the use of the red wall texture packs is nice, I like how you've done your brush work, may show some signs of that in my map (which would be okay since the ship could be made by the same company )

looks too... half-lifey not really the ns architecture... i like what you did with the lights on the stairs in the first few pictures, maybe you could do something like that to this last staircase. thats just my opinion, im probably wrong...

<img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='asrifle.gif'> all of you have broke with this story. what's the problem? are texture in the ns.wad and are good textures. so it's natural that mappers are using these tiles! if he was making a dark industrial map,would u say that he was using KenBanks textures??

About the architecture...is good, in the 1st pic the walkway is a bit strange co it's asimmetric; the texturing of the ceiling is not that good.
uhm, i'll look forward for some cables from the ceiling and some computer monitors <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'>

Sephiroth2k · December 2002

some people are using textures encoded in the map, not the wads

ctx · December 2002

I think the architecture is fine. I was going to say that I thought it would be just fine for him to use eclipse textures, just not too much...but if KungFuSquirrel didn't intend them to be available...then that's just a different story.

BiTMAP · December 2002

your aloud to use the red lab texture set guys...

Heist · December 2002

Hehe.. It's just that it seemed every new map coming out was along the same texture lines (ie the eclipse set). Though I have seen a few more going for the darker look lately.

No, no, no.

There are only 3 Eclipse-specific textures in ns_eclipse.wad (well, technically the entire file, but mainly those 3) that were not supposed to be released in the final install. All the wall_lab textures are in ns.wad. They are there to be used. So use them.

Heist · December 2002

Bah.. what do you know Kung.. it's not like the creator has any say in what goes on.
