Layout For Ns_scannersweep (working Title)

Purelace

Here's the layout for a map I've been working on. Red dots signify resource nodes.

This map is rather large, but I tried to mesh the cramped spaces and wide areas together. It will be interesting to see the result. Also, I'm working on something to put in the lower left area, connecting the marine start to the leftmost hive in some way. Also I need to do all the vents, but I have a pretty good idea of how they'll be interlaced.

The screenshot doesn't really explain everything, because there's a rather large drop in elevation about halfway down the map. The result is a really long elevator, a really long ladder, and general sloping terrain on the right hand side of the map.

The map concept is a SPACE SHIP. Actually, it could be basically anything, because I haven't textured it yet.

I'll have a balance test alpha ready by tomorrow, most likely.

its kinda hard to tell the scale accurately but you may have some r_speed problems in some of those corridors. they look a bit long. remember the hl engine loves corners.

theres only one way out of the marine spawn. its a problem if a gorge sticks loads of turrets against the only way in.

That's my main comment too, there's a serious choke point right outside the marine start ... I'd add a "back door" to the marine start area.

That and the fact that skulks won't be able to make it into the marine spawn beacause of a wall of marine fire <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
