<div class="IPBDescription">screens and teh report</div> ns_metal - metallic factory with noisy machines, metal melters and more.
First of all the map is progressing good and I am having lots of fun doing it and head full of ideas but I just need time to get in there to the editor/game. It´s something like 25% done with hallways, few lifts, doors, ladders, some detail, one hive room + few smaller rooms and marine start. Now I want some comments, constructive always helps me to think about it again and propably making it better so... here goes nothing.

First one is the marine start.

    I am assuming you are using env_gamma on ya map but what value, because it looks very nice looks like 2 maybe even 3 or less <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> Keep up the good work.

    Not a fan of how open the marine spawn in. Skulks have no chance of getting anywhere near the cc or any hiding places what so ever. Whilst you don't want to make it insanely vunerable to attack you do i think want the aliens the ability to get a presence within the spawn even if it's a hidden skulk in a rafters or short run from the entrance to the cc. As it stands now as i said i think it'll be a right pain in the arse.

    With the crates, would it kill you to use a few extra polies and not have the black part underneath it.

    The third image i like, has a good industrial feel and is reminescant of ns_nothing and feels like what i think a hive should feel like, dark and dank.

    Looks very good and fits the metal industrial factory theme perfectly. Its hard to tell from thoes pictures but it looks like skulks will do very good in some places (that big box place) and very bad in others (Marine start) allthough it is hard to tell, and actualy making certain areas skulk friendly and others marine friendly might be an intresting element to the RTS aspect.

    Short replies going to go soon.
    Layout is there but I dont want to show it yet.
    Gamma ramp was 1.6 or 1.7.
    Marine start is pretty huge but playtesting will tell how it plays (Maybe adding vent for balance if needed.) And the crates, wpoly is bit high already in the area so it won´t happen.

    Thanks for comments everyone.

    Will there be a fast moving metal press for that clasic roadrunner and coyote scene?

    Hey, I love that marine spawn <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    In the cargo bay screenshot can't see much but well... I think I love this map too <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    If you get this map as fun as rampage is, it'll get it's place on the map rotation on my server <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
