What is the purpose of that orange glowy thing and why is it so open to others? That thing just puzzles me <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

It's kinda annoying when everytime I see the new metal grey textures with bright lighting I get the taste of iron in my mouth. It also makes the impression there is very cold in there. Aww well, I think it's ok as long as there are some darker areas in your map. Warm orange lighting ftw!

ps. just realized I had left my window open o_o

DrunkenMonkey · April 2005

Looks nice. Maybe add some small detail to some of those hallways to make them more interesting. A small window or maybe a computer, something that makes you remeber them better.

I can't help but agree with Lt. Gravity.

The architecture has become less varied and flat. The grey shaderlab texture is terribly over used which also makes the screenshots appear plain.

The lighting is also just orange and white texture light spots in most areas. Needs variation.

Crispy · April 2005

Can you give us the RGB values of that orange light? I can't seem to get the right balance between Red and Amber <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' />

compare the first screenshots with the last ones. the first one looked so awesome that I had to bite my finger <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

but the latest lack originality. shure, architecture is pretty cool but the use of too generic textures and the simplyfied lighting makes it look less interesting.

I hope the new areas wont replace the old ones <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' />

besides that its a co map. I dont think the style of the locations is too important as long as you can get some kills.

Swiftspear · April 2005

Ya grav, those are two of the three SS he posted that didn't look COMPLEATLY like little hallways. The other is a larges hive area with a fairly high ceiling some pipes and a skylight.

The pipe structures and architexture of the new stuff is WAY cooler. I can't wait to fade in that room with the halfpipe cieling, plus he has some really cool hops architexture for good marines to take advantage of. Just because it says CO, doesn't mean it has to be lots of indescript similar hallways that just happen to show off pretty mapping technique.

Spacer · April 2005

Ok, so uh...
I have no idea what to make of all these latest comments. Thursday- says the new architecture is less varied and flat, which is basicly what he said to the old screenshots. Swiftspear thinks it's good, and much better than the old version. Lt. Gravity thinks the new screenshots don't compare to the old one. OH U GUYS SO CRASY U KNO LOL.

Gravity: I thought you were all about maps with atmosphere, which is what I'm trying to do with this new design, it looks like some sort of testing facility rather than corridors with monitors. About the old architecture, I may well reuse the design of the monitor bays in marine start, which I'm hoping to turn into something that looks like a bridge or docking bay rather than a big room. You'll get the map when it's done :I. I've gotta finish the second route to the center area, then to the hive which needs to be done.

Thursday: You said the same thing about the old Galvanise. So uh hm.

Crispy: My computer's currently being fixed at the moment, so when it's back I'll give you the rgb values for the orange lights.

Swiftspear: Those screenshots weren't really high ceilinged, the walls are about 128 units high. Use the screenshot of the marine start with the commanders chair for the scaling.

Okay so the other computer I was using had screwed up gamma and it was alot darker on there, now I am on my own computer it's still dark but not overly dark like I thought.

What's with the weird random supports and random cutting in to the floor? Will make Onos movement terrible and it just looks plain 'wrong'.

I loaded up serenity and it's darker than my map, so it's either your monitor/the brightness I have half-life set at.

Judging from your screenshots I find Serenity brighter <i>overall</i>. Although aside from that, this is a discussion about Galvanise not Serenity. *Shakes his head*

Align · April 2005

...Way to completely miss the point. If it's dark, then your map is darker, and logically you wouldn't make a map that you yourself found too dark; meaning that you're either being silly, or the shots aren't gamma corrected.

Oh, and get off your high horse, you're talking like a snob.

Apart from the darkness, those shots look great, spacer, but shouldn't there be more sprites?
