Well, I showed some early shot in the "post your screenshots" thread. I have now decided to make a new thread for only this map. I have no backstory for it. Just a layout.(which I will post a picture of later)

Pictures. No areas are named except of the hive.











Give me feedback. And please don't joke in this thread. Just makes it hard to keep up . Enjoy!

Are all these gamma corrected? If so, number 8 looks very dark... I love contrast, but it seems very dark if thats the correct brightness.

I use default gamma. (Which means, no gamma setting in batch compiler)
I know pic 8 is dark, but that's because there are no lights, soon to be fixed.

Some of the pics look a little too wide open, not nessicarly a major problem, but can mean nasty things for skulks. Is it just me or is there a few custom textures in there?

i like the marine start it seems to have its own style

Thanks for comments. I'm not sure if I'm aloud to use the custom textures I use. They're from ns_hydrosity.wad. But I thought they looked good, so.
What areas are wide open? I will fix
I know the last 3 pictures are very dark, but that's just on the "upper level" of that room. I will fix it.
[EDIT]Typos[/EDIT]

I LOVE it, Nice work kab

Yeah I know, lightning is a bit ****. Too dark you know. Fixing it right now. If I get myself a friend who has a scanner, I'll show you guys the layout.
And I'll also show how far I have come. Not very far though

[EDIT] typos [/EDIT]

Broken links

I've made some progress on my map now and fixed some of the things that you guys mentioned.

I have also taken a picture of the overview so far(As soon as I find someone with a scanner I will post a picture of the whole layout):



Pictures from the Ready Room:






Have fixed the lights in the dark spots(Hive and Res node)





Picture of a half done corridor:



Now? Did it get any better? Give me feedback please

Looking pretty good there, son

I like the rr there mate cant wait to play this

Very nice work there bud I like it so far,keep up the great work.Looking forward to playing the full version.


P.S. You could have a intresting CO map there too lol just take out the resnodes n place a armory in the marine start n yer good to go lol.

I will release it as a combat map with the same layout, but things that shouldn't be in the combat version sealed off and/or deleted.
Made new progress. New so far overview picture:



.. And all the **** SAY WHAT?! ..

OK! I had a bit of a problem that I sorted out before the weekend. And I have had alot of things to do, so I haven't been able to update the thread the past few days.
But, I found myself someone with a scanner, and scanned my layout for the map.



Last post I posted how far I have come.(Right above)
Look at it to see for yourselves.
I will prolly post screens of the map tomorrow when I have tweaked some new areas a bit.

EDIT: typos

Ojeh, told you I would update.. New screens, with new rooms and things on them.
And, updated overview.



And, teh screens:








Now. What you guys think? Please give me feedback. Or else I can't get my map tweaked so it looks nice and play nice.

The shot with fan in the ceiling. I think that shadow under the fan looks weird. How is it possible there is that kind of shadow as I don't see anything that would block the light there. If I'm wrong, please explain.

I like it. Especially like the room with the machine leaking steam. Maybe make that steam a bit more transparent if possible?

In the last shot you could work a little more with the doors. Make some kind of "trim" to separate the different wall from eachother. I hope you know what I mean.

edit: editing as things come up in my mind...

That shadow comes from something a little longer up where the fan is.. With a spotlight above.. And the shadow from the fan, it looks like ****, I know. I'm trying to tweak it.

Sprites will be fixed. Thanks for feedback!
