Hi! The layout of the hivaroom is nice, but there is a lot to do with texture application(the stairs look strange, and those support-walls' texture should be twice as wide, and as well as i see, its fullbright. Do you have leak on your map?
Here is a tutorial about texturing(it might be useful)

hmm, i did the supports that way on purpose, i like the way it looks.
unfortunately, the tutorial is...useless...as i am using quark(couldn't find valve hammer)
as for the lighting, i threw some lights in so i could take the screenshot.

you may havew guessed, but i am a complete newb, i cannot even get a seal on my map without making a poly hollow:(

advice is welcome

MAP UPDATED!

Hmm... It's a matter of personal preference, but I'd have a little less infestation on the hive room. Now it looks a bit like an infested kilt with the similar infestation all over the place. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

I don't know how that one would look with the finished lighting though.

Ya might want to keep an eye on the commander view, the hive area (outdated shot?) has a lot of stuff above the ground. with these mutliple levels above each other the commander could have trouble placing structures or aiding the marines.

Just drop a command console in the map and jump in it to see how much trouble the comm really has <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

I like the hive area though. Needs a nice blue glow from the center or something with them lights there. I have yet to see a blue-ish hive area with most of them being their green/orange/red, but I do think it could look cool...
