<div class="IPBDescription">TSA experimentation with Terraforming</div> Hey all... just like to 1. Set out some press on my NS map under the working name ns_decadent. 2. Get some of the Ns mappers opinions about building in relation to commander mode and outside.
Goals
- Design a level based on the idea that the TSA was conducting terraforming experaments.
- Rocky and lushous green areas within "Biodomes"... Which by nature of having natural resources and life made it a perfect place for alien infestation.
-Perhaps with imput from the team shed more light on where the Kharaa originated. (Perhaps a hive lain dormant was awoken by the presence of the TSA)
- Level design which in conjunction with the welding skill.... allows complete restructuring of the flow of the level..(cutting off acess and granting new access).. . for increased playablity and making players think on their feet.
Requests: Input/Ideas from existing NS team mappers. Perhaps a few unique textures exclusive to outdoor areas. More coming.
Any and all ideas, comments, or critizisms are welcome.

I think that keeping a similar theme to a map lends to a more realistic evironment. When does an archietext just decide to change the design of his space station from this metal, and this panneling, to a totally different one? So I think a set of similar textures will work better than changing every room.
I agree with comprox too.

yes, i agree. use some ducts for example, i'd like to see also some broken ceilings with wires down the holes... the name suggest an abandonated base.
i would like to see also some light spots to enfatize details like pipes or grates. cotinue working this way <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
thanks also cos the 2nd shot inspired me a bit(not for a NS map <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->)
Lets just hope he doesn't hit the max texture limit.
What ticks me off though when I TRY to map for NS I reach the max texture limit with only 56 unique textures. *Humph*
