<div class="IPBDescription">a hive, the new marine spawn and a node</div> 1/6
this is the Marine spawn, the command console is just off screen to the right

Mouse · November 2002

2/6
Another angle of the marine spawn (promise the area on the right will be brighter eventually)

BOZO · November 2002

Its a little cramped, I dont think an Onos can even get in there.

3/6
One final shot of the marine spawn, the vent in the bottom of the picture is breakable. (don't worry Nem there will be handrails soon <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'> )

This is the pipe hive, there is minimal cover but between the nearby pipe gushing out water and the storm, the aliens can be as loud as they want.

Mouse · November 2002

5/6
Another angle of the pipe hive, that door in the background that leads off to somewhere I haven't made yet, most likely the third hive. but I you turn left in front of the door instead of going through it you are lead to the double node.

This pic is looking back to the fortress hive. Those pipes that run across the ceiling are hollow and connect up with the fortress hive itself.

Justin_Case · November 2002

I like the design in the second and third pic, looks different.

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

F_o_RStorm · November 2002

ooh! You can see a sky, no? This might satisfy everyone's hunger for an 'outdoor' map. Looks nice.

Justin_Case · November 2002

hehe yeah the sky was part of why it caught my eye. Guess Im a bit claustrofobic.

scioskulk · November 2002

<span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'> I like the cramped style of the first few shots. I especially like the second pic. I also agree with your choice of lighting for the claustrophobia-inducing chambers, although I wouldn't be surprised if you get replies suggesting adding more colorful lighting. Nice architecture as well.

If r_speeds permit, try to spice up the bare sections of wall/ceiling with miscellaneous features like pipes and the like. That's my only real criticism.

I'm looking forward to testing this map out.</span>

Whats up with teh small talk? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'>
This map looks great so far, though Im worried about the pipe hive being assaulted and aliens not having a chance to defend...

blueman · November 2002

oh! at last someone uses the green texture set!! it looks really nice, i really like the Hive location. Keep it up.

chubbysteve · November 2002

Tanith has a lot of the green texture set. Works well.
[F.o.R]Storm - good 1 <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'>

Yeah, thats looking quite nice. I think the comment about throwing grates/ pipes / darn near anything into the walls to spice them up is a worthy one.

Mendasp · November 2002

The hive looks very very good, I like its... <i>feeling</i>

keep up the good work <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Closey · November 2002

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

Now finish it and let us play it <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'>

quazilin · November 2002

That map looks really original. Good work.
Add some detail and it will own! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'>

RhoadsToNowhere · November 2002

I like the marine spawn area, almost looks like something out of Unreal. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'> I do like the light contrast in your hive room, but I think it might look even better if you use a bit of colored lighting instead of plain white.

Angel · November 2002

thats great, i really only like the hive. i think the rest is nice tho. also about assaulting that hive, there is a map with a hive called "The great viaduct" its alot smaller than the hive picture shown here, I think this hive is the best I've seen of a custom map so far. keep it up!

actually the plan <b>is</b> for the pipe hive to be hard to defend, but thats only because I'm making the fortress hive (on the other side of the map) easy to defend

and as for adding pipes and other small details. I'll be adding those after I've finished the layout

<span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'>Hm, that's an original concept. Are you certain that doing such a thing won't upset the map's balance?</span>

Mouse · December 2002

It might, but this map is more of an experiment than anything.

BiTMAP · December 2002

if he sets up the res points right
and puts a nutrual hive in the middle it should play good... whats teh green texture set btw??

Mouse · December 2002

wall_green1
wall_green1b
<b>wall_green2
wall_green3</b>
wall_green4
<b>wall_green_floo</b>

Mouse · December 2002

This is the Fortress hive.

The Pipe hive node. I think it's a bit bright right now but if peoplle like it as is, it may stay the way it is now

Comprox · December 2002

2nd shot is definately too bright, and I think it would look better with a flat top (the fan is all dented inwards).

that hive also needs more dark sports for aliens to hide in! Looking good otherwise!

scioskulk · December 2002

I actually really like the lighting in the second shot despite the fact that it might be too bright for gameplay.

Uh... "aliens can be as loud as they want" what about stop sound in console?

*Edit* Great map btw I hope it has great game play and become popular! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'>
