<div class="IPBDescription">Uhhh, bored...</div> I got bored so I started tinkering around in VHE and such...and I came up with this hallway. The shots are a little small, so if you want me to enlarge them individually, I will. It's not compiled yet...I'm much too lazy to set up lights.rad for NS textures and stuff. But anyway, this is a "Marine Start" room.

Sadly, this took me like 3+ hours.

Compile the map. In-editor shots never offer an accurate perspectives; it's impossible to determine the scale or the lighting of a map, which are crucial elements (especially in NS). Unless the map has fundamental flaws in construction (which this one doesn't), in-editor shots aren't practical. And in general it's good practice to compile often anyways.

Bah to lights! Okay, well when I unlazy myself I'll try to set up lights.rad for the NS wads.

Faster than I thought it would be.

Yeah, scale's a tad off. It's supposed to be some sort of cargo access bay...I'll fix the size. But anyway...comments?

EDIT: Oh, by the way, how are the Join... signs set up? Additive, 255, distort?

Yes, with a lower render amount if you want it to be more transparent.

Looks nice, but I don't like the flat pipes. Maybe put them behind a grate or something.

Kage: the pipes aren't flat...it's hard to tell in the picture. I'll probably up the resize to 800 x 600 next time.

amckern: thanks. I'll check that out and edit it as necessary.

looks pretty nice, this is teh stuff i always liked doing, making a room or two or a really cool looking hall way and spending a ton of time just making it perfect. Never was too good at finishing a large project.

Thanks for the comments. Right now I'm working on the central part of the ready room, but I have one problem...

I don't have the "overlay" textures for the original monitors in "ns.wad". I know the "ns2.wad" has all the overlay things, but the "ns.wad" textures don't have it. And while I could make my own, I'm lazy. So does anyone have any premade ones? Or know where to find them?

If I get desperate I'll probably make my own.

check the sticky of ns wads, in the mapping forums
