<div class="IPBDescription">real eye candy</div> In a few mins I will be posting the renovations and added routes to the map. I have been told by a friend that the map is 'huge' so I'll take his word for it...Final build = bast scale

The detail you see in these screenies now covers the entire map

====waiting for dev team member to upload images====

Pointless topic, time wasting, board wasting and worse than me trying to organize a map for playtesting.

I would just like to say that there is ZERO chance of me posting a beta for anyone in the community to test. The only people who will be getting a copy will be my friends at uni (where i am beta testing with 20+ players over a secure firewalled network) and the ns dev team.

Enjoy the new pics btw) some pics are out of date and the new ones show the alterations.

Hopefully you can see the change toward a unique theme and 'look' to the map

sorry i wanted to start a new thread cos the old one was getting so long + my uni network went down for about 15mins so i couldnt change the topic

KungFuSquirrel · February 2003

You could have started it when you had the shots.

G0rebash · February 2003

lol excuse me while i jump out of my window as the result of my appaling crimes against msg board etiquete

Revenant · February 2003

I'm with KFS on this one, I'm not board flaming but it is rather silly to post without the pics, also If I were you I would have psoted them on the other topic. Then people can quickly view the diferences between old and new pics

rev: you can tell im not a regular message board addict then can you? hehe <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Revenant · February 2003

G0rebash · February 2003

please dont flame me anymore ive learned my lesson.

btw im posting a layout plan on those mirror sites in a few mins

Revenant · February 2003

Atlast I get to see tha layout <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

T_RAT · February 2003

Great job .
I really like most of the ceiling and walls.
The floor stands out a bit to much[i think] compared to the walls.
Also that blue looks a little to bold or something.

Great detail. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

well the inspiration for the red floors was that scene in star wars (dotn laugh) where luke gets cryogenically frozen after losing a battle vs darf vader....dark red foors with cool lighting, smoke etc.

Erm does anyone want to hear the sound effects or atleast some draft effects?

quazilin · February 2003

Well I hope that you have had lots of test compiles and light tweaking already.

Revenant · February 2003

star wars was in actual fact not red grating at all, it was normal grey/white grating with red lights. i dont know if uve played jk2 either, but they used grey

G0rebash · February 2003

not a lot of compiles and not a lot of light tweaking done yet but considering i started this map 2 weeks ago I think with another week and a dev team of 5 I can complete this atleast to playable standard.

There wont be any problems with the leaks because I use a special technique to spot them. I texture all the textures outside the map with the grey 'null' texture then I simply fly about and its veryeasy to spot cracks with jsut matt colour...havent found many though cos the vertexing is very accurate.

By the time I submit I will have teh ambient lighting completed ie) a general level of light that means no completely dark areas and you will be able to see everything + a limited amount of untweaked spotlights + the texture lighting done

Making the map playtestable is my no1 priority.

From your posts I was expecting it to be tested by the CIA on their mainframe. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

Seriously, pics look still good, but I can't make anything out of Hammer pics. I'd have to see ingame shots with real layout pics, not just hammer wireframe. Anyway, you've caught my interest.

lol well my childhood memories of starwars disagree... LOL

Kaine · February 2003

for some reason it reminds me of quake 2 and doom at the same time... <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'>

G0rebash · February 2003

oh should have pics up in a moment on a fresh site (unlimited)

G0rebash · February 2003

oops I did it again lol

Revenant · February 2003

You got a very small layout in terms of 'simplicity' goes it is very small and straight forward, what you need to do is add LOTS of detail, otherwise it looks like a first mappers hldm map

coil · February 2003

You know, you *can* attach images directly to message posts.

Also, I'd suggest resizing to 800x600 and ~50-80kb per image... means people with smaller windows don't have to scroll sideways, and people with 56k don't have a heart attack trying to load them.

G0rebash · February 2003

I've decided to scrap my command post, double rp and a few other rooms that are jsut plain not up to standard with the rest of the map. Sometimes youve got to start things again..
