<div class="IPBDescription">Working title</div> I meant to finish a bit more of the map before posting here, but I couldn't resist the urge to put up one or two screenies. These are the beginnings of an ns map I am working on. (Epsilon is the current title.) Comments are greatly appreciated, as this is my first map for ns and I'm fairly new to map editing.

Please note that all of the areas shown are reasonably brighter ingame.

    I like it alot. I love maps that make use of dark textures and white lights, it looks amazing in my opinion, though it has been said that this does look kind of akward: dark surroundings and bright white lights. Good start I'd say.

    It's hella slow. I kept trying and got it eventually. Good webhosts are hard to find these days, eh?

    Oh yeah, IMO, I find the map much to dark and dim. Try toying with the lighting, gamma and RAD switches (this could take a while and a lot of compiles, but the results, when you find a good formula, are worth it.)

    I believe he has run out of bandwidth on his Tripod account.

    Aren't there like a zillion sites out there that host NS maps and screenies and shat? Or at least that one run by ChromeAngel? Why doesn't anybody use them?

    Tripod and Geocities are not the way to fly around here... if you don't have at least 25 megs of bandwidth available, don't put up a whack of screenies. The forumites will just click you to death. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    worked fine for me. course, it's now 2:50 am here. things may have changed.

    i think you've got a style here not much tread upon by most NS mappers. it has a very dark, somewhat organic while keeping metalic feeling too it. very foreboding and closterphobic. Reminds me a great deal of Aliens in a way. In fact, that is the first thing i thought of. Yet it really bears no resemblance to Aliens... i dunno man. Keep working at it. From what i see here, it feels totally different than every other ns map i've seen, which is probably a good thing.

    I looked at the pictures(of course, doh), and I like the arcitecture alot, but maybe there is a bit too dark? Dark maps are OK, but a little difficult for marines, just keep up the good work and I'm sure it will be a really nice map!
