how could it be a decompile, doom3 hasnt even been released yet, never mind a decompile tool, he just got some insperation <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Copied or not, it does look good. Surely you guys appreciate that inspiration has to be gathered from somewhere: Bast uses some stuff from Aliens, de_dust used some inspiration from TFC, and nexus was inspired by nothing, powercliterus, eclipse and veil. To summarize my post, even great mappers have to draw their inspiration from somewhere.
it is inspired from that screenshot, defo not decompiled i aint no n00b thank you lol theres nothin wrong with some inspriation, the whole of ns has been inspired from previous works, hopefully some progress shots soon peeps, thanks for comments
// I think its a good thing i can seem to get a halflife level lookin similar to a doom3 one lol
Still looking great! And of course it's allowed for mappers to take inspirations from other games/maps(which is something I think all mappers do), as long as you're not copying anything. Which I definately don't Nay have done, or have any reason to do either. For example, when I first started working on co_ether, I was heavily inspired by a UT2k3 map. Don't remember the name though. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Yeah, it does look alot similiar to that but everyone has to get inspiration from somewhere. And to make it look THAT nice takes some skill anyway. Oh and Nay, maybe consider making that walkway go further out and connect to another building so that people will be able to see this beautiful site as they run along the walkway shooting skulks leaping out at them <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
That pic reminded me a lot of "BREED" <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->
But quite different to the last version. Wonder what the rest of the map will look like <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Awsome, so have you considered if you're going to continue the rest of the map with the style shown here or try some other styles on the rest of the map?
similar style, i always tend to use a similar style <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Thats quite a lot of transformation there nay. I love the concept art from you used from Doom 3, shame you couldn't get a couple of those models in there <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Seen as you have told me it is supposed to be a snowy planet, I think there is one extra way for you to spice it up, add in a bit of falling snow. I prefered the darker version my self, although it wouldn't have been the best to play in. Let's just see some swift interior design <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

so I ask myself one question: why the hell didnt I see this thread when it was created? I guess the massive "100k w007 1 d1d 1n 20 m1nu735!!!! h4x0r 0wn4ge!!!! ROFL !!!" threads "drowned" yours ^^
nice to seeyou again nay. and one thing: you know you are welcome to our server for betatesting purposes ^^ and since steam it should be no troulbe to upload and play it.
regarding the screenshots: the first pic... hm... no trill. the last ones ... *eyes pop out of his head* ..... breathe ....
It would be good if you also send us a playable map to get the feel of the atmosphere you've produced so we can then evaluate how good the map plays and feels (in bsp format)
Other than that it looks wonderful, but my choice in sky would go for that darkish grey kind of sky as I've find it more appealing, that's just my opinion anyways <!--emo&::marine::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/marine.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='marine.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Anyway, looking good Nay
