<div class="IPBDescription">released into the wild...</div> final version changelog:
---------------------------
* redone the rounded coridors so it should be very easy for rcbots, fades and jetpackers to get around now.

* lots of lighting improvements, everythings a bit brighter now (except 'the well' which i restored to its mysterious old self and the hitchhiker ive changed the lighting quite a bit).

* got a beautiful new sky texture, no more of that SUYF crap sprayed across the sky

* added an extra special secret room (probably added another 100k to the bsp but so worth it )

* removed cover round comm chair to make it easier for rines to defend

* ledge on upper vent outside hive to give easier access for resting jetpackers

* texture tweakages everywhere, most arent noticeable though

* various entity optimizations

* finally worked out how to use scrolling textures (just thought id add that )

* removed 1 of the vents above marine spawn (due to a weird clipping exploit where u culd get into the hull, but no one used it anyway)

(basically it shuld be much more playable now)

    The map is incredibly atmospheric, and the readyroom itself displays this. Upon first impressions one could assume this to be an ns_ map. good jorb. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I think the wall thing around comm chair looks a little weird.

    edit: I guess it's just that it looks like that kind of brushwork ends up in errors. Can't explain it. ^^

    Very nice map. Parts of it are similar to the map I stopped working on...

    I like the glass hall, like everyone else <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    It seems big but it probably isnt. Nice. IMO you should grit your teeth and give us a kickass ns_ map, though. This one is far too atmospheric and has too much potential for a mere co_ map.

    One thing: Your lightning. Try to tune it a bit, everything is very bright (I know, it is a co_ map, etc. etc.). Make more spots and stuff... That was a suggestion but it is ok if you read it as an order <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    There once was this box, and the contents of that box were proven by the worlds top scientists to be pure and unadultured sex. From walking about this map, I must say, the chances of this map beinging a reincarnation of that exact box are increadibly high. (that means this map is awesome)

    The only thing is that skybox...

    Ya, in this map the annoyingness of the skybox is visable from roughly half the windows. In lost you can only see it if you /stuck exploit to get to the spacecape area.

    arggghhhh, u guys r annoying! it came "FROM" an ns_ map but it was gettin so big and arguous i decided to just convert it into a combat map cos i figured i wuld hav to put so much work into it and it wouldnt even get played at the end. and as far as maps go it really isnt that complicated to find ur way around (basically figure of 8).

    And about the sky (not skybox! it doesnt enclose the whole map just the windows)... yes i know the skymaps taken from lost but it suited the map and unless it gets put up to be an official (which i doubt, even though i wuld like to see some more atmospheric combat maps) its really not worth changing it.

    p.s. the teabag/sexbox (<!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->) has been put onto rotation here (ip: www.the-coming.com:27015), so i no longer hav to host my pathetic 4 player server anymore <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo--> and there are some pretty good rcbot waypoints also provided by lordskitch <a href='http://rcbot.bots-united.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=415' target='_blank'>here</a>

    ok known bugs:::
    1) onos death trap below hive - no idea how i can fix that as onos seem to occupy the same horizontal space crouching as everything else. ive only seen someone do it once on a server tho.

    2) texture alightment under the platforms in the circular corridor - oops <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Gah, look at my screenshot! I swear to god that has not been edited in any way, and that is looking out of a window on your map. At least rotate the skybox to the point where the SUYF can't be seen the way lost did.
