<div class="IPBDescription">New map started</div>ok. I know i posted the basic layout of the mao in another thread, but now im showing some pics so.

This one shows the commander center and the space left for the marines to build their things.

This one below shows the one of the dark corridors which leads to the hive part.

Ok, this one is one of the 4-5 labs the map has. Still more things to add, of course.

Last one. Here are the doors (they are trying to seem as if their half open and cant move) that lead to the lab.

I think you need to mix up your textures a bit more.... you've got the same flooring in 3 of those. Also, that HUGE room in shot #1 really needs more variety... what's it supposed to be? Maybe it's a warehouse or a hangar bay... put in a crane, some storage crates, a small shuttle. Add piping or electronics on the walls, maybe a huge outer door that's sealed off. And do something more with the ceiling - something that large will need supports if for no other reason than to be visually interesting. Maybe arch the roof, add support girders, add column from floor to ceiling, ventilation shafts & air ducts... go crazy. Rent Aliens: Special Edition and check out the hangar if you need inspiration.

As for the lighting in the 3rd shot - nice! don't think I've seen anything like that before.

Just try to give your map a more personal, detailed feeling in all areas. Try to avoid large, uninterrupted walls or ceilings; all people will see is a repeating texture pattern.

A picture from an inaccesible lab. xD

I really like your lighting in these shots, but I think your architecture could use a little work. Especially the first shot, it's REALLY empty and monochromatic. Throw in some color, something to catch your eye.

Knasterband · April 2002

Cool lighting in the third shot!

MaLiCe · April 2002

Very nice, and as some people have said allready, i like the lighting <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

SentrySteve · April 2002

I LOVE THAT 3RD SHOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The layout, the lighthing, everything about it -- I love. Very nice work!

blueman · April 2002

ok. As im mapping the new parts of the map i also spend sime time detailing the done ones. 2 pics.

This is from a passage near the lab

the passage from the older shots but with some more detail.

RhoadsToNowhere · April 2002

Looking a lot better <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> Your architecture is done much better, I really like the first shot. I don't know how much headroom you have, but I think the second shot might look a little better if you made the crossbeams a little thicker across the walls and ceiling.

Black_Wolf · April 2002

those last two shots are a great improvement, good work.

coil · April 2002

I'd like to see if you've worked on the marine build room (your first screen shot)... that's really the only one I had an issue with. These new ones look really nice!!

blueman · April 2002

PROBLEMS!!!! i dont really know how but my .map went blank so map dissapeared and the .rmf i last save doesnt have the last modifications i made so i must do it all again!!!

blueman · April 2002

Ive been working for some time (1 hour) rebuilding the dissapeared parts. Ive not done exactly the same so please opinions again.

The passage again but with the new design
<img src="http://www.planethalflife.com/roleplayhl/team/blueman/blueman_ns_ttro0002.JPG" border="0">

and the lab with lights again and again with new design.

-> I liked the other design more (lab picture) but... <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':angry:'>

Moleculor · April 2002

Always save often, and keep backups. Lots and lots of backups.

[edit]You posted the pics the same instant I posted.. I'm still loving your stuff... though that second room seems a bit blockish.[/edit]

HanzGruber · April 2002

I'd be interested to see r_speeds for these shots....

coil · April 2002

Ya, 2nd room is a bit bare. Maybe you should try "color" touches - knocked over chairs, scattered papers, broken filing cabinets, etc. Hell, even intact file cabinets. You said it's a lab... imagine everything the scientists would need to work in there, logically, and you'll come up with a lot more things to add personality to your map.

Cremator · April 2002

the lighting work on the pillars is really cool. needs a lot of work with the textures. not bad start.

blueman · April 2002

ok the 2º shot in the post has mutated into this:

<img src="http://planethalflife.com/roleplayhl/team/blueman/blueman_ns_ttro0004.jpg" border="0">

going right way??

SentrySteve · April 2002

I would think so, maybe add a new more of those computer thingys, looks a little empty to the left. If there is a reason for that, like that is where the cc is going to be bulidng his base, then its fine

Black_Wolf · April 2002

*shrug* for some reason i cant see any of the new pictures =/

blueman · April 2002

you cant see the pics cause i have them in a phl floder and as they are moving to new servers it does not work now.

blueman · April 2002

ok. new pics. Ive added and reshaped the lab. r_speeds are about 450-500.

this one is from a new corridor.

another one of the lab

good, bad?? opinions please

coil · April 2002

The texture on the piping(?) in the 2nd shot is pretty rough... can you find one a little better suited? That looks almost like a rock texture or something.

humbaba · April 2002

I really like what you have going with that red pillary area in the ceiling

coil · April 2002

Ooo! Didn't notice the broken door before... nice!

Vincent · April 2002

these shot are cool keep it up

and mabye you can give me some poniters

blueman · April 2002

and last one is from the dark passage which sorounds the marines start.

Killtoy · April 2002

The CC room looks very odd. The shape seems kinda random. Maybe it would help if you moved something into the middle of the room, like those pipes back in the corner?

I really like the corridor in shot #3. The lighting fits in very well.

coil · April 2002

I think the *actual* CC is the windowed room up the ramp... the hangar area is for marine building.
