(the pics are from .02, but it just try it if you want to see the new little improvments. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

==Fixed in .02-.06==
-roof rails to slow jet packs and lerks in the hive area.
-changed the doors timing, and speed to make falling and JP up better, and more fair.
-Added semiwalled box around the middle hive, and the marine start.
-Lighting around the hives changed a little.
-ramps at the 2 outer hives
-Overhead blocks above the hives to prevent JP camping over the hives for a fast and easy end to ahive.
-changed the lips on the doors to make dropping towers from about a little easier.
-Boxes over the res points to slow the marines run for JP.
-added ledge above the marine start to allow aliens to ecolve closer to the marine base.
-changed the lighting at the marine base and in the pipes.
-lowered the ledge so it can be seiged from the marines start.
-one less res at the alien and marine spawns.


Here are some pics of it.
This is a view of the shaft from the alien hive rooms.

Hey,
Well i checked a few list of maps and saw no ns_shaft, i did see that Ekaj was working on a map with that name, but that was back in November and i was told that he changed it to ns_mineshaft anyways.

If this does cause a problem, but let me know and ill be more then happy to change it, i released 5 versions of this map before, and no one brought up the fact that it was already used, so i figured it was fair game... <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Don't tell people you weren't warned. Read my post.

You were told.

I have a great idea:
How a map that plays in a mine environment with caves and such. We could call it...

I told you to be careful that's all. By being careful I (wrongly) assumed you would investigate it.
It's not a problem as long as you doublecheck with Ekaj that he didn't release any betas/alphas name ns_shaft.

I have nothing against you or your map. I just wondered why you did check with Ekaj earlier.

Good luck with your map.
