Wow, that's <i>really</i> nice! It reminds me of some of the older stuff made for NS. The lighting has that smooth, vibrant look and really suits the game well. And I love the vegitation in the infestation... The whole thing has a really cool atmoshpere. Great work!

need to post again. i pretty much agree with ken and KFS. the lighting and texturing is godlike. destroys anything i could ever do.
plz dont leave mapping - you are too good.

Really love the look of it DM! reminds me alot of co_core style and colourwise. The lighting looks almost painted onto the surfaces and one colour blends into another to never create a bland wall.
Can't wait to play it anyhow! sad to hear that u'r leaving mapping so early on as i am a fan of ayumi and would love to see what u come up with next <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
You made me launch my map editor again <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I hope the map has been submitted for possible inclusion in future NS releases.
Awesome architecture and lighting. Loves that outside view with small stars. I wish i could find better words to describe my feelings about the map but i just can't.
Sad to see you lost interest in mapping, but i understand.
Bye Drunken.Monkey. Thanks for the great maps and i hope to see you again (HL? maybe <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> )

Uh... there is a lesson here, kids. Don't drink and drive, or write forum posts for that matter.
I'd <i>guess</i> he submitted it for a possible inclusion in a future NS release, and wants to keep the map "exclusive" for that. I dunno if any new map will make it into beta5, so if not, maybe we gonna have to wait longer. Be patient, it's probably gonna worth it. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

"soon" means: when I think the map is done and good enough to be released(and when I've fixed my computer so I can compile again). <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

As for EGAMANs post.. Did you really need to quote all those pictures to say something that, well.. doesn't matter, or make sense for that matter.
I'm sure you are "board" of "ow detail" stuff, but no. I'm not sure as to who this "u" person is, but you might want to be more specfic in just what kind of detail you might want out of them. If you mean Detail Textures, too bad there aren't any for the NS wad files.. well, none that would really increase the detail.. or really press the power of your 9800... Detail textures just don't press a new graphics card for power. Anyways.. If not detail textures, then what? You want for more detailed brushwork? Yes. Lets put more detail into an already wonderful looking map just so one guy can get the most out of a 5 year old engine with his brand new graphics card, while everyone else with a lesser card can't even play the map without it being a slideshow.. Because, you know.. A map is so much better when almost no one can play it.
In my opinion, its detailed enough. Hell, I thought the old version of Ether was pure secks.. its my favorite map.. for now. Though it seems that its new version will easily beat the old one for the place of my favorite map <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> Needs to be made an offical map.
