    Better.  I like pic 1 a lot for some reason
    Now if you could think of a way to detail it that doesnt involve crates...

    I dont know, I rather like crates. As longas youve got a good crate texture they can work much better than barrels, random chunks falling out of the walls, etc, as long as its done in context and in moderation.

    As for the pics, I think the use of that bland metal texture with ridges in it is overused. But its only new, so I hope im right in thinking those are placeholder. Other than that, the architecture is lovely, and I can wait to see this tweaked and detailed.

    It looks awesome did you get some of your inspiration from redfaction as it reminds me of redfaction in the layout somehow.
    Great work.
    I will not bugg you about adding more detail as you are still working on it. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    the whole game is really cool yust a bit to short as many games today i completed the full game in 2 days in the normal difficulty so if you play it choose the harder difficulty. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    I really don't like those red lights in the first few pics.  They really don't seem to fit with the architecture and texturing their placed on.  Aside from that, I feel you've got the lighting fairly well.  And, I also think you could add a lot of detail into some of those shots.

    I really like that 4th shot. Looks really really great! I'm not so sure on the lighting though... the lighting in the fourth shot really suits it well, as does it in the 6th... but I'm not so sure about the rest. I sound like a broken record here, but I think you could use a bit more lighting contrast in general. All of your light tones seem so smooth and... pale, to me. The red, for example. I think it could be a bit bolder. You even mention that the dark corners are just places you havn't lit yet... that has me worried. Those dark shadows were the only reason I wasn't going to bring up the contrast issue until I read your comment.

    I'd say you should at least keep the concept of lots of nice shadows in mind. You don't have to go to the extreme, but lots of contrast is heavily recommended for NS maps. It is also quite possible to manage this while keeping a room decently lit and easy to make your way around in.

    Othewise, I think the shots are great. Very cool architecture and detail. The 4th and 6th shots just plain rock!

    BTW, Fam, I think that slotted metal rim texture is spiffy... it is EVERYWHERE in my map. Hehehe <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    Nice, but how will the commander be able to reach the marines under the brigdes and such? Or are you thinking that the commander could wait 'till the marines moved a bit further away from the brigdes? That might work. :S

    Did I miss any discussions about the commander being able to select ppl under brigdes and such?

    Kassinger, you can always make the bridges or overhangs "fun_seethrough" entities... that would allow the commander to see through them (it makes things translucent), and I <i>think</i> you can select things through them... Could be wrong there.

    So if there were marines both <i>on</i> and under a brigde, the commander would select all at once while dragging a big enough box to cover the whole brigde? And if he made a waypoint on/under the brigde, where would the waypoint end up then?

    Of course since the marines are human players, the commander could just make a waypoint and tell them he meant under/over the brigde.

    The colour of the light in these pictures does not seem to match the colour of the light sources.
