    I was thinking about the revolving doors and i remember how it used to pass through the surrounding walls when it rotated, it looked off and quite ugly. I was thinking it would look better if the rotating door was smaller in radius than the circular walls that hold it, so that no parts of it ever go through the walls. I doubt you would be able to see anything on the other side.

    blueman started the work on tram tunnel after finishing his seven thousand exams, insane is still working on EM Drill and MrBen is going to do new infestation for feedwater and engine...

    No pics yet, I haven't received any files... Most pictures won't show right now because the host is down...

    Also, I have to tweak the lighting on the Engine Corridor because it's a bit dark ATM. But everything is going very well <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Well, so far everything looks great, but I have a suggetion.

    How about adding the list of mappers/areas and the progress map you showed early in the thread to the FAQ? This thread could easily get as long as the Nancy one (>115 pages) and it's gonna be a pain to dig through it.

    Suggestion-Could you move the MS Res node to a more suitible location? Like to the back of the base or something? Because it was always in the way of the other corridor (with the rotating door) and was very annoying IMO <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Since probably the MS vent will go away or on a different place, what about putting the res near that area?

    I'll be changing that when I finish the revolving door, and it's not a difficult process, so... STAY TUNNED! <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    why not put that RT on the other side of the room from the CC? that's the least obtrusive place, IMO...

    Revolving door DONE. I'll make it a bit smaller, so it doesn't have those OBVIOUS clipping issues.

    Updated overview attached.

    The revolving door was GREAT! It was unique(I think), and anyway, it lent a true spaceship-like atmosphere to the map.

    It also added somewhere in the neighborhood of ten second to the ms->engine hive travel time. That would be the tricky part: maintaining that travel time AND removing the door. Honestly i'd rather have it in for balance and try to optimize map performance elsewhere.

    Soon! It's a bit dark ATM...

    About expanding bast... well, we've been thinking of adding alternative routes to areas like... engine hive, for example. I actually like your idea, but we'll have to see how everything evolves while we get close to the tweaking stage.

    Edit: And, uh... Ollj, the revolving door takes... ONE entity, and two more per button, so it makes the total of: THREE entities. I don't think that's wasting entities, at all.

    I made the spinning faster, it's hardly noticeable, and I'm sure it'll help, we'll see! <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    instead of the revolving door make a airlock style door where only one door can stay open at a time and there is like a delay between closing one door and opening another that way there wont be as many stuck issues and clipping issues
    just a idea
    but since its pretty much done i doubt youll change it

    Funny thought: One of the WORST parts of bast was tram tunnel. Aliens just didn't stand a chance. Drop a siege base there, and you have big long WIDE corridors in each direction.

    Make the tram a train you can send back and forth <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Ah sure, a mobile tram sounds fine until the comm starts smashing onos with it... I'm all for adding more general decay in to tram tunnel. Make it less brightly lit and add fallen tracks and pillars to give skulks a chance in there, while still making it a viable siege spot.

    unless you were running away from something, then it wasn't fun.....
