<div class="IPBDescription">Small NS map, real small</div> OK, here are some shots for a map ive been working on, there was a thread thats recently dissapeared on it, but the shots are now way out of date anyway.

My map is based around the ayumi texture set, but follows a different style.
It will have 5 res nodes, yes you read that right - <span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>5 RES NODES</span>
This will hopefully promote some very aggresive gameplay. Marine start will have a res point, and one of the hives will have an rt inside it. The other 3 will be some where in the central part of the map but 2 of the 3 will be closer to hives, since the nearest RT to the starting hive is automatically capped - but these two hives will also be nearer to the marine start.

The gameplay will be severley affected by the number of players in the map, mainly the alien side, because of their 'collective res scheme', so a smaller number of players would make this a better game, maximum of about 6vs6.

    That is so ridiculously crazy that I'd like to see how it plays. Although the hive that's further from MS and has its own res node sounds seriously out of balance with the other two. Shots look nice.

    Interesting concept, and even though you don't want to discuss the layout for now, what are your layout plans? How lage will the map be?

    About the size of a combat map, but with more pathways (since there are 3 hives)

    you SHOULD think about layout seriously BEFORE adding details you might have to change later on because you rearanged some corridors or added a location.
    Im the 2nd one thinking about it as ayumi clone, right? <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I made a small-map years ago... had too many abusive seige spots. Make sure you keep an eye out for those.

    I've got a layout, im just not 'revealing' it. I've spent ages working out a layout without details, and im confident this will work out.

    And didnt I say it was gonna be like Ayumi?
    "My map is based around the ayumi texture set, but follows a different style. " - yeah i did, first post <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    You can always turn it into a combat map if the layout doesn't really work out because of nasty siege spots <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Hit a snag with making the sky, it kept showing up as the default HL one, then I find out you have to have the underscore on the end <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Anyway, progress is still going, more shots soon.
