The pic is a bit on the blurry side. But other than that it looks good. Can't really give feedback unless you got a key yo go with the layout pic.

Looks nice

I suggest vents in the following locations...


Connecting the room to the right of the turbine room to the hallway south of it

the top left hallway and the room directly below it

connecting Alien spawn 1 to the stairs directly left of it.

Just my 2 RP

WaffleSpoon

I'm worried about those r_speeds.. u have a lot of corridors, short ones, and the diagonal through those, could make for some nasty r_speeds =/ else than that, I like it =)

Plaguebearer

At this point, I'm going to suggest fewer hallways.  Less hallways and more rooms and room-like areas are what Flayra prefers.

Elowind

ok ill try to cut off sum hall ways, and as for r_speeds, i have no clue how they work so i wouldnt know wut to do

Elowind

ok i cut off 3-4 hall ways so tell me what now, gimme suggestions if i should take off more

that gets very old very fast in my opinion

looking good elowind, but ive never been one to be able to see problems with layouts.

JediYoshi

In the imortal words of that one inspector, Wowzors(but I wouldn't be suprised if CSers use it already)

But then again the Command Room needs to have either:

Two Entrances and/or A Big Fat Open One

-----

Unknown 3 and 4:

Should be connected(they're so close together anyways)

-----

You're forgetting Alien only passages and Resource Nodes

ChromeAngel

I assume the penciled in circles with X's are resource nodes.

TychoCelchuuu

and dripping has two p's.

Elowind

ok

1. ill add another door to command console
2. the circles wtih and X in it are nozels
3. so i was in a hurry and didnt check my spelling

but my questions are
1. are there any improvements i could add? (not that u can see much)
2. what should i do for teh alien rooms, im not very alien apt...

Well one thing you could put is Alien infestation pilling in corners and stuff. It's a pretty common thing nowadays though. Another thing could be some lights overhead that got broken and now they're flickering. But then again that's pretty common too...

Elowind

ok, i think im ready to begin, ill start tomarrow, its kinda late here. ill keep updates, most likely in this thread.

i also added a particle system inspired by mouse, it'll be water flowing out of one of the 'pipe' rooms, that was flooded due to a broken pipe... duh.. it'll leak into the halls a bit, and in one hall it falls off the balcony, to teh lower hall below (kind of an over under hall)


*edit*

pipe room1 1 and unknown 3 thats the over under place with the 'waterfall'

Elowind

ok i've begun, and in my first room, i have some holograms of aliens, now i can get them transparent and there, but the problem is they apear too soon, i want them to appear once u push a button, but there is no trigger for that.
so my question is, does anyone know which trigger or how to make a model invisible until targeted by button?

(i'm using monster_furniture)

also, if sum1 could make a small ingame clip, and not compile it into a movie, just leave it in all the bmp frames, i'd be very thankful <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo--> but if not i can wait till the release

ChromeAngel

I believe you can use the button to trigger an env_render to change the rendering properties of your models.
