<div class="IPBDescription">Work in progress - 10% done</div> Well, I showed some early shot in the "post your screenshots" thread. I have now decided to make a new thread for only this map. I have no backstory for it. Just a layout.(which I will post a picture of later)

Pictures. No areas are named except of the hive.

Are all these gamma corrected? If so, number 8 looks very dark... I love contrast, but it seems very dark if thats the correct brightness.

MasterG · July 2004

I use default gamma. (Which means, no gamma setting in batch compiler)
I know pic 8 is dark, but that's because there are no lights, soon to be fixed.

Swiftspear · July 2004

Some of the pics look a little too wide open, not nessicarly a major problem, but can mean nasty things for skulks. Is it just me or is there a few custom textures in there?

Chrono · July 2004

i like the marine start it seems to have its own style <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

MasterG · July 2004

Thanks for comments. I'm not sure if I'm aloud to use the custom textures I use. They're from ns_hydrosity.wad. But I thought they looked good, so.
What areas are wide open? I will fix <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />
I know the last 3 pictures are very dark, but that's just on the "upper level" of that room. I will fix it.

I never read the post your screenshots thread, its just to... dunno.
this map looks pretty good but eihter your lightning is way too dark or you had been to lazy to gamma-correct your screenshots <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' />

MasterG · July 2004

Yeah I know, lightning is a bit ****. Too dark you know. Fixing it right now. If I get myself a friend who has a scanner, I'll show you guys the layout.
And I'll also show how far I have come. Not very far though <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

MasterG · July 2004

I will release it as a combat map with the same layout, but things that shouldn't be in the combat version sealed off and/or deleted.
Made new progress. New so far overview picture:

.. And all the **** SAY WHAT?! ..

MasterG · August 2004

OK! I had a bit of a problem that I sorted out before the weekend. And I have had alot of things to do, so I haven't been able to update the thread the past few days.
But, I found myself someone with a scanner, and scanned my layout for the map.

<img src='http://kabelen.freeunixhost.com/pictures/ns_awake/ns_awake_layout.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' />

Last post I posted how far I have come.(Right above)
Look at it to see for yourselves.
I will prolly post screens of the map tomorrow when I have tweaked some new areas a bit.

EDIT: typos

MasterG · August 2004

Ojeh, told you I would update.. New screens, with new rooms and things on them.
And, updated overview.

<img src='http://kabelen.freeunixhost.com/pictures/ns_awake/b1/ns_awake_b1_overview.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' />

And, teh screens:

<img src='http://kabelen.freeunixhost.com/pictures/ns_awake/b1/ns_awake_b1_2.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' />

<img src='http://kabelen.freeunixhost.com/pictures/ns_awake/b1/ns_awake_b1_6.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' />

Now. What you guys think? Please give me feedback. Or else I can't get my map tweaked so it looks nice and play nice.

perso · August 2004

The shot with fan in the ceiling. I think that shadow under the fan looks weird. How is it possible there is that kind of shadow as I don't see anything that would block the light there. If I'm wrong, please explain. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

I like it. Especially like the room with the machine leaking steam. Maybe make that steam a bit more transparent if possible?

In the last shot you could work a little more with the doors. Make some kind of "trim" to separate the different wall from eachother. I hope you know what I mean.

edit: editing as things come up in my mind...

MasterG · August 2004

That shadow comes from something a little longer up where the fan is.. With a spotlight above.. And the shadow from the fan, it looks like ****, I know. I'm trying to tweak it.

Sprites will be fixed. Thanks for feedback!
