    geometry A, prop work A, Texture work C+ (repeating ceilings, misaligned vertical supports), lighting B+

    can we get a layout and a background story for lunacy?

    This map inspires me to start mapping again for NS2.

    As Tig said: textures need little bit more thinking and break them a little. Story is a must!

    well i havent thought about a story yet, but i will get one! next time i am drunk i will write something down and tweak it when im not drunk anymore :D

    im not quiet sure if i understand you correctly Tig, what does "misaligned vertical supports" exactly mean? can you give me an example on one of my screenshots?

    i know my ceilings suck mostly and my lighting needs some love to, im on it!

    It's very bright, lots of white lights. Might want to add some extra mood to it by reducing the number of lights, and their colour.

    Looks promising!

    The lighting seems to be your weakest area. In most places there's either too much or too little.

    I look forward to seeing this progress!

    i'd change that texture completely, it looks funny as the vertical lines of the textures don't line up at the corner in the right one and the rest of them extend to nowhere, it looks fake. break the middle square of the pillar into its own texture, then simplify the top and bottom. just play with it and try different textures out at different sizes, sometimes snap it to the poly by making it fit.

    edit: spelling.

    ok, i have reworked my archstyle hallway, hope it looks better now. i´ve also experimented with its lighting, so its temporary orange now :D but it doesnt look that bad! ;)

    Look great! I'm surprised by how it goes together. Kinda reminds me of old school Goldeneye for some reason.

    Hey Trainee, looks like a good start.
    I like that you try to go the extra mile regarding the geometry.

    I don't know, if you wanna stay with that concrete texture look for the arches. Proper lighting might be enough to enhance the curves and make it appear more smooths, but proper textures can help with that aswell.
    I made you a quick, little example how you could texture the inside by splitting the faces in the middle and use different angles:
    <a href="http://filevo.com/704hssirukvl.html" target="_blank">http://filevo.com/704hssirukvl.html</a>
    The used texture is, of course, just an example, it should work well with all kind of trim textures that aren't busy and detailed in their middle part.

    Thanks guys! good to hear your likes and dislikes about my map. i had big problems getting started with complex geometry in the first place, but finally i found my way trought it. psykoman, thanks for your example, it helps a lot! your tutorial on curve sections is awesome too btw. :-)

    this weekend im mapping with a friend of mine, i will overwork my archstyle hallway next week. hopefully i got some new screenshots for you then :)

    i didnt liked that area either, changed the blue light to something more common


    ive been working on my alien start hive, nothing final, just a work in progress shot. the second entrance is missing yet

    <img src="http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/9463/2011060900004.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />

    this is my ceiling, it has plenty of room for sniping lerks, so its kinda tricky to defend that hive, but due to multiple entrances it wont be that much of an advantage. lets see in the first playtest someday (-:
    <img src="http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/2913/2011060900005.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />

    ive started to work on my archstyle hallway again, but the editor is kinda broke since 178. the editor crushes everytime i use the circle, paint, displacement, props and entity tool -.-
    anyone else gets this error?
    dont like the idea to reinstall everything, regarding to my pretty slow internet connection..

    Maybe try "Verify the integrity of game cache", It'll maybe fix your problem (or not)

    And your screenshots look great, can't wait to test it.

    Don't go extreme yet. I have had 3 blue screens from the editor in this last build. Doesn't seem to be when doing anything specific,it just Garbles the screen,fade to black then good ol blue screen. The game also runs fine for me.

    i put some more hours in my archstyle hallway. im finished with the geometry part and its much more complex now, it looks way more realistic! i have to adjust the textures and this ceiling is ready to go! thx to psykoman again!

    But, i am lacking of ideas for its floor area. i do have some ideas, but none that i like!
    any suggestions? (-: they´re much appreciated!

    Looking real good, big time improvement between the two arch pics. Good vertical height.

    Marines could use an ice cream dispensary somewhere though . . .

    I think it would look better if the lead looking material between the arch and the rock above was just made into the rock material. It looks too jaggy and block like.

    hey guys! i have some problems with the cinematic editor! im placing a "create emitter" on top of my teleporter and it all works fine in the cinematic editor. but when i test it ingame, i do have the problem that my particle effect is placed somewhere else! as you can see in the picture, my particles are to the left of the teleporter, but actually i placed them on top of my teleporter!
    what did i wrong? or is this a bug? im experiencing the same when placing a model, like the tram, in the cin editor. i animate it, so it is driving a bit and its ingame somewhere else but not on its rail.

    I'll give you this much, the lighting is awesome. The ground is too flat, the walls are too bland in the first 3 pics. The ceilings and texturing are spot on. Keep it up.
