I disagree. If Greedo was to make an 'updated version' all your asking him is to update peoples mugshots, in that case, just edit them for ns_lost. Make the takeback secret room an architechtural piece. <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->

There's a reason the ghouls scream when you click on the ugliest one in the hall.

I disagree, unless we're going for the longest "forum quote replies".

Although, I see where Greedo is coming from.

New area. I dunno if this is too dark/needs more lights or something. C&C away!

try some ceiling lights too?

Thaldarin

I feel the influence of Belgarion could do with use here, contrasting spotlights all over the place which give a harsh and chilling atmosphere.

Olmy

Oh nice one brute, i need to learn how to do dark industrial areas like that.

Insane

BF: The lighting could probably do with being a bit harsher. Try making the white lights much brighter and take the orange colour and use it to "backlight" the scene, so that you have an orange sort of "glow" with harsh white lights creating highlights.

Your architecture is great, though. Keep that up, I'm liking the style. Might be a bit rough on skulks though, especially those corridors with the grating sticking out in the earlier shots.

fantastic geo in that large room bf. though i feel those white lights... don't do anything. very very bright, yet yeilding almost no light. it feels awkward. i could help you with the lighting if you like. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

The grating was added to help the skulks, actually (they're func_wall), cause I felt the corridor was originally too open and too hard on the skulkies.

And yeah, the lighting needs work. I've never been that good at creating good lighting. I'll try what you guys suggested though. Thanks for the comments.

KungFuDiscoMonkey

The brushwork is very solid but the lighting leaves something to be desired. It seems awfully dark and boring especially with how bright the white lights look down near the bottom.

oh yeah, looks nice btw. consistant with the rest of what you showed me oh-so-long-ago.

Those walkways should have some handrails or something, wouldn't want a cute gorge to slip over the edge...

rich, is still looking good

those screens look like they came from JediKnight 2, not bad

I agree they look very JK series. Pretty nice, add hand rails!

hmm.. they do have a point. it does look rather reminicient of JK2, though i wouldn't add the handrails. i like it as it is. everyone's got rails. be different. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Jazzy

p.s. wat happened to that map pack u were making, was it u again?

Crispy

Like the arch-style but not too hot on the textures or lighting. But I still think you should keep making the level as it is and then maybe rework the tex and lighting at the end.

P.S. I'm a firm believer in the anti-handrails technique. I only put them in where they look nice and where they are really needed. As long as this area isn't easy accessed by lil' kiddies (ie there's a colony that has reached a young 2nd generation) no handrails are needed. I've got an area in my map that will probably result in a bout a million n00bs falling off and getting trigger_hurt, not to mention the fact that airbound players will have air currents to deal with! I think players will probably embrace it for the crazy Lerk vs. JP battles!

Think about this for a second. Say this is a research lab, and you've got a catwalk which is fairly thin, going across a huge boiler/machinery or something. Also think that this research lab has thousands of scientists, all trying to get to their spot. Can you image when 4 scientists try to pass eachother on that small catwalk? Accidents would happen constantly, and replacing scientists is alot more pricy than just adding a railing there. Don't just think about the gameplay, think about realism too (to a certain extent).

Anyway, looking nice confused, I love your style.

amckern

just add a bent hand rail, like an onos fell off the edge, or found something it wanted on the lower level, but forgot to jump over the rail, and just charged it down, that way, you have the rail, but no protection

Crispy

Fair point, but it depends on whether there are likely to be four scientists all trying to get past eachother laterally on a catwalk, that isnt actually that thin. Most scientists are fairly intelligent, so they'd probably just keep to one side and form a moving queue. Trims might work, as they'd help the would-be scientist in a hurry as much as the back-peddling Marine/Gorge/Player etc. That way you can readily identify where the edge is when you're in the midst of battle or running from a firefight. Then again you could add verticle wire-supports, a minimal addition which would also point out where the edge is.

To conclude: Trims/Supports could help distinguish the edge of the walkway and extinguish this heated debate!
