<div class="IPBDescription">Again, also not to bump older threads</div> First, linkage to the 2nd thread(this one is the 3rd):

<a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=81236' target='_blank'>2nd thread.</a>

I've been working a little on the map since last time I posted, edited the layout a bit, fixed some small things, and made new areas that I'm kind of happy with.

The layout(in form of a minimap) so far(60-75%):

<img src='http://kabelen.marineeater.co.uk/pics/calamus/new1/minimap.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' />

Two screens(with 4 pics in each):

<img src='http://kabelen.marineeater.co.uk/pics/calamus/new1/calamus1.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' />
<img src='http://kabelen.marineeater.co.uk/pics/calamus/new1/calamus2.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' />

Feedback would be nice.
Updates and pictures/videos(??) will be posted in this thread.

    Your brushing looks OK to me... the lighting needs some tweaking though, IMHO.

    And why 3 threads!?

    "also not to bump older threads"

    its still the same map, isnt it?

    and the second pic looks weird, like you changed a normal texture to infestation, looks to straight.

    I'm pretty sure it's not a bump if it's your own thread and your giving an update!

    It is a bump, but who ever said a bump is wrong? Especially if it's your own thread and you've got updates. Seriously Kabelen, to me it just looks like you want to up your postcount :/

    Anyhow, the map's looking nice.

    I like the floor fan in on of the pics but I think the trim would look better if it had a diagonal which mimicked the fan trim instead of a sharp corner. Also that floor looks a bit flat, any possibility or raising/lowering the floor section on one side of the blue trim? In fact most of the floors look a bit on the flat side. IMO it's not something you'll notice when you're running around but it does take away from the 'wow' factor a bit.

    P.S. 3 threads is a bit ridiculous and just annoying. Now I have to traipse through 2 other threads to review your work. You want us to help you, please make it a bit easier for us! I'm sure if you asked a Mod could somehow merge the three threads. The way it is now isn't very easily accessible for someone who has just started looking at your map, nor is it user-friendly for those who have been following it.

    its no bump, you even posted NEW pictures so its progress. there are people that are more likely bumpers (<- me for example <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->)

    Sorry if I messed up for those who have been following the progress of this map.

    All the shots can be found <a href='http://home.no/kabelen/pictures/calamus' target='_blank'>here</a>.

    I've not been able to work on the map the last days because I've been busy with other things. I'll get on with working on it as soon as I have time.

    Bumping old threads never worked for me (I'd get maybe 1 or 2 comments on the new screenshots, and then the thread would die), so I just ended up making new ones everytime I had some new stuff to show off. So don't get your panties in a knot over multiple topics about the same map here people.

    Would you like to reconsider that last comment, you may have opened a very big can of spam there matey! At least hint at some sort of limit, I'm sure there's only so much these forums can hold, Cap'n!

    You haven't changed my opinion on why this is annoying, which can be seen in a previous post.

    Well... I posted a link to where ALL of the screenshots are hosted.. So I have made it a bit easier. New screens maybe tonight, if not tonight, over the weekend(going away).

    Looking fresh, but it lacks detail imo. Some areas are just hallways, arches n walls. Add some computers, pipes, whatevr~

    Up his postcount? Even if he would edit his thread, he would have to bump it to get people's attraction. So basicly he's not upping his postcount at all.

    looks very much like ayumi, and thats what people will think, too, so u need something distinctive in your map.

    anyone is free to post suggestions.

    (well for one, its way too clean, even the hive is really sterile)

    Tis true, it is too clean. It feels too much like an arena and not enough like a 'believable' environment. Add some dirt, add some grime, add some disfunction!

    Some info about the map:

    I'm putting it on ice for a while as I have absolutely NO ideas for it.
    It will be finished. But I will start a new project for now so I get a little break from this map.
