Lookin good my friend. My only problem is that the architecture in the last pic looks alittle flat. otherwise, excellent.

Windelkron · November 2002

Very, very nice! Reminds me of nothing, but with... larger rooms! I seem to remember your shots in the marine start, which were also very nice.

You might want to put a few more alien vents in there. Looks like there's only inter-hive transport... you should have a vent on every room :F, especially the maintenance rooms.

Sycophant · November 2002

I love the look of those maintenance rooms, especially Maint #1. Can't wait to play it!! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'>

Good job, looks good.

Bouncy · November 2002

=p looks good

chubbysteve · November 2002

The spot lights in some of the shots look entirely white. Now with entirely white spot lights I have come up with a problem: They seem to make the surrounding area alarmingly dull (although that red is quite good). Now if you try to give them the faintest hint of blue or yellow (some thing like 191 191 255) then everything looks okay again. I'm not too sure, it's just a thought. Also - those maintenance rooms don't look dull <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

kompo · November 2002

looking pretty nice, I don't like the texture in the first picture on the right, and neither the whole last pic. but alltough very nice, but make the lightcones more transparent.

Comprox · November 2002

On the right side of the overhead, that hallway is so long and all the same, I think it needs some spicing up!
Also, you top and right hives are very close together for marines to hop between. I would make that short path alien only, and add another marine hall going into it from further back. Otherwise, looking awesome!

ElectroKiwiMonkey · November 2002

obviously I have no ingame experience to back me up, but isn't that CC a little far from the marine spawn?

blueman · November 2002

mmm yeah i like crticism!

Youre really right about the hallway. i just did it that boring way cause before it was a passage conected to a door above the room it sorrounds, so it was too short way for marines, so i made it do the whole way round to get more time. Im planning to do some short of....hall just above the room, connecting the L type corridor there and making it bigger.

About the too close hives, youre also right. Before, there was 2 lifts which just made it 30 secs but now, as first pic shows, there is no lift but ladders so i must do something there . ill maybe cut that door (only alien path) that connects them and make it longer down so it takes more time, and meybe put a welder there....

hehe. itysd just the map is SO small. i mean, the entire layout only takes 1 and a bit quarter of the whole WC grid, its really small. I feared siege turrets, but i tested and i now know wut rooms i must move a bit further. Ive actually played it only one game and it had some Onos movement problems somewhere, i must fix it!.

mmmmm. wut texture in the right?¿?¿?
Last pic corresponds to the same corridor Comprox mentioned. i just copy/pasted the same over and over (im bad!!) just to test. i will change it and make it look different all the way long.

IN general. I must say that i still got 30% of planes to put in the map, that means: more detail, etc... Im just looking for a good gameplay and when i have it, ill aim to make it visually cool.

da ta!

OOOH. as i see LOTS of new pple joined forums after release (logical) ill post again a link to the "Nirvana Picture Gallery" for all to see again ( <img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'> ). <b><a href='http://www.iespana.es/blueman/eng/nirvana_gallery.html' target='_blank'>HERE</a></b>

oops.

I was a bit tired.

Justin_Case · November 2002

I think the floor texture for pic 4 looks a bit unfitting. Looks weird that the metal bars are cut off diagonally there in the middle if you see what I mean otherwise great

Mendasp · November 2002

uhmmmm

/me looks

yes, one shot makes me remember nothing (the double ladder one) <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'> which is a good thing, obviously

nice work <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'>

Unknown · November 2002

i'll prolly get nuked for even commenting on a map now, but I don't like the look of those light yellow 'fade'-textures, bit sharp and contrasting, not really for NS maps imo

scioskulk · November 2002

<span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'><b>First Pic</b> Oo, me likey the pipes that run all the way down the shaft.

<b>Second Pic</b> Looks a little marine-friendly from the viewpoint given, but I'm going to assume that is done purposely as the area is near the marine spawn on your overhead dev map. Atmospherically, the room looks quite nice.

<b>Third Pic</b> Seems similar to the second pic area, but since they are connected, that makes sense. Looks good from what I can tell.

<b>Fourth Pic</b> This room looks good as well. I like how the room is small and uncluttered, not really catering to either marines or aliens.

<b>Fifth Pic</b> As you said, this corridoor is lacking everything in general so I won't comment.

<b>Dev Map</b> I like the layout, and you've already responded to any problem areas I can spot. So... fix those things and let me take a look-see then.

Overall, my biggest criticism involves ceiling cover for lerks and skulks. Some type of ceiling overhangings would be nice.</span>

blueman · November 2002

well. Thx guys i need more comments. Ill post some screenshots later from the new room i made in the "boring" corridor. Ive been adding brushes all along the map to detail it, its looking better to me (thx for the suggestion and comments again).

I maybe have a last compilation this evening and have the map ready for <b>private</b> (if possible) playtest in NANO with the usual pple.
