If anyone doesn't know, Phobia is a Supply Depot + Water extraction center placed on a moon. It's abandoned, and the kharaa took it... blah blah blah

Atm I'm working on the "water" part of the map, and I'm almost done with it.

Ok, now, the screenshots:

This corridor leads into the Water Depot Hive:

    Nice work, maybe the roof / top of the walls could be made more interesting? maybe grates or lights? Maybe even on the floor you could have a grate or two? Lighting hive near the sticky out bit with the glass window looks dodgy. Also how do you get the sky to give off light?

    Have you checked those "infestation blobs" in commander view? They look like they would eat up medpacks and anything else dropped on them, it might be worthwhile putting a thin layer of nobuild on them <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->


    The only thing I can really see that bugs me is that the roof in the hive looks a bit plain, maybe give it some more depth.

    Oh, and I haven't checked the infestation in commander mode yet, that's the next thing I'll do.

    And... I'll try to detail the ceiling at the hive.

    Thanks for the comments <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Or you can use a light_spot with "Is Sky" set to "Yes".

    What i've noticed is that there was never a place where units could swim, thou don't listen to me if you don't like it.

    Have 3 entrances to the water hive, each involving a hole (open sewer), you go in, and under, and up, and Your on the top of a pumping tower. Keep the same design, and implement what I've said if it sounds viable.

    Yeah, I thought about that. And also having a weldable to unflood (sp?) the hive.

    But that's something that I'll test when I've almost finished the map.

    I'd like to see how does the map play with a hive like that.

    More pics, another corridor <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I was thinking that the hive is a little too dark. At least it looks like it has a few very dark spots. Maybe add some lights with some other color to make it more ambient? Maybe that way you keep the darks spots without having them pitch black? Maybe it´s just me?

    Great looking map all the same <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    That lab texture, the pink on the grey looks totally ugly. Edit the texture and put it into your own ns_phobia.wad. Make sure the outlining of it is grey (This is if you can spare the extra texture memory).

    On the last picture nearest the floor and at the bottom of a support is a light_ texture. It has got a little pink border because they were intentionally ment for lab maps which used wall_lab set. thats what i ment.

    I'm at 2.75 mbs of texture usage, so, when I get near the final version of the map and if I have spare memory (probably will) I'll try to do that. Nice suggestion <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> Thanks

    I WAS trying to get it finished for 1.1, but I won't get it in time, so I'll wait for the next version.

    Quick question: Are you putting the Phobia logo all over the map for advertising, or just because players aren't smart enough to remember what map they're playing? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    ITs like in Eclipse and Hera, it will be to look nice and break up the wall pattern a little. I think he may also use it to remind you what your playing (joking lol), more ambience than anything I'd say.

    The lighting is off in a few places, like where you have blue light textures.. and it doesn't emit blue light.
    Fix that.
