Ns2.wad Style Test, Hallway

WolfWings

<div class="IPBDescription">Any opinions? Good, bad, or stupid?</div> Anyways... it's just a chunk of hallway to start tinkering with NS2.wad, and try to figure out a good style to base things around. This look coherent to folks, or can you spot something obvious I should change?

looks good, kind of boxy at the moment but I like the lighting. That door is a really cool idea. Now you just need to work on making that bottom left pic a little brighter. (and I honestly did think this at first glance..... need sleep)

I love the door.

the only think that's a bit strange, is the ground texture (imo) 0_o

rest is fine <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

looks good, the halls do seem a bit empty tho...... add some interesting architecture

Okay, sounds like everyone is happy with the overall style for that section, which was what I wanted to hear opinions about.

First off... it's MEANT to be plain. It's a hallway, not a room, not an elevator, just a hallway with a door in the middle. :-) I did get one private message about possible adding an actual doorframe, or changing the wall-texture so there wasn't the small 'circle' being broken by the doorway itself. I'm going to do that.

Glad everyone likes the door, though. Eats up like... 12 entities, but it's worth it. It's a 'realistic' crush-proof door, even for the Commander. =^.^=

Hmm glass doors, haven't seen those in NS yet...

Whatever you do, keep the glass doors <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

I think you might even use them as an overall theme for the map. Very sexeh.

WolfWings

Yeah, glass panelling is something of the vague 'theme' for this level. It's going to be a vague marine-dropship-docked-with-infested-station type level, not sure on size yet.

May see about making 2 versions, or rather an 'expanded' version that forms a follow-up to a smaller, more robust version of the map.

A Combat 'intro' version that's compact, has the basic assault to break into the infested station, so to speak, and then a 'beachhead' full Natural Selection version. There'd still be some latent infestation in the 'new' Marine Start, but everything in that area would work. Full lights on, etc, destroyed hive wedged in one corner of the room, cut down from the ceiling and thrown under a plastic sheet, so to speak. =^.^=

And yes, the overall idea is vaguely based on one of the old-school <a href='http://www.planetgloom.com' target='_blank'>Gloom</a> maps, BidMix's "station" campaign-series, but roughly in reverse.

Sounds very unique and interesting! Can't wait to see what comes of it!

Ooooh. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Even more sexeh! I like that background -- and the merging of ns_ and co_. I say go for it.
