<div class="IPBDescription">Fun with right angles.</div> This is the hive room I started the "doctored screenshots" topic with, now properly draped with tentacles.

And here's the resource node, conveniently located just under the hive. Got a bridge leading to it and everything.

Mr_Headcrab

add some tendrils criss crossing and it would be perfect, but even as is, it is excellent

Is there a way to get out of the pit if you fall in?

kan3

i'm assuming that is a second floor up to? if not i don't quite see how a gorge is suppose to get up there to build the hive

WarpZone

Yeah, it's a second floor... two of the four corners are lifts that will take you up there.

I keep meaning to add a ladder that lets you climb out of the pit up onto the bridge. Thanks for reminding me.

How's this look, Headcrab-san? <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Here's a shot of the upper-level, and an inset showing the lovely new ladder.

Looking sweet!

Cronos

VERY Nice, can we see what the rest of the hive room looks like? Or is that not yet done?

WarpZone

Nope, that's the whole hive room. You walk in through one of two entrances, and you can see the resource tower as soon as you turn the corner. In order to shoot the hive, though, you have to either walk onto the res platform or fire through one of the windows on either floor. Jps won't fit on top of the hive, though they could perch on the tentacle bridge and knife the hive.

Very nice... Reminds me of ventilation on Origin.
Should be fun ambushing silly marines around there <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Uh, how do the floors work with commander view?

CaptainPanaka

hm I don't know why but this reminds me of Duke Nukem 3D <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->

Palmaneen

That's strange. I was actually also think about Duke Nukem 3D for absolutely no appearent reason at all. Wierd <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

WarpZone

The upper level floors are func_seethroughs set to 25% for commander mode. Commanders can place structures on the ground floor of the hive, or on the crossbeams on the upper levels.

I used to play and map Duke 3D a little bit. Maybe it's just rubbed off on me. Or maybe it's the fact that boxes hadn't quite gone out of style yet back then.

Kaine

looks great, i'm not much a fan of the tentacle-hanging thingys but you seem to have pulled it off quite well. good to see a nice original design for a hiveroom

Mr_Headcrab

Excellent!
