Re<ally like the door, though it has a lack of detail.
there is much place for computer consoles, and vehhicles.
the walls about 172 units tall
this is also only the start of the map, as i am working on a hive section in world, (in a big crater) - story the humans blow up nancey space station, and parts fall the planet
-GF
the barbed wire hurts at about 75 dem per second - so u have to be perpared to have good skills in your defence, or be an ornos to get over it

Ahhh, my Great Map list, here it is. It's a topic.

Your map will be added as soon as I get it!
Let's test it before we start declaring anything about it
Just make sure that skulks can't climb it.
though it will be some time for me to get all the brushes (and the hive) in
other then that, i am working on the inside with a air , and water filter plant (and a nice partical fx machine)
I also have come up against a mappers block, i will get back to the map once the block passes

(PS do funk_cameras, and mosnter_turrant work?)
i tryed funk cam, but i get a third person view , wird
and yes i am trying to build an area like the avp2 out side - useing my custom tex
i won't let ns get "FOXED" - by me any ways

Interested? even got a way around the skybrush+lerk problem.
Your hive infestation is nice but always fullbright!!!
could be because its func_illusionary, its ignoring light <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
use a darker texture there too or make it func_wall with rendermode solid.
Your outside areas look good, hopefully this is still ballanced...
That long ladder looks not fair for marines. I like steps more.
and...
the rad was ran, its just the lights where an guessement (not a word, but <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> )
I still have to figger around with them, as i am rading with 3 bounces
My water is now see through (55 fx), and as the infestaion is an alpha - i did the wrong thing and made the fx 255, and not 88, the 88 alpha works now nicely
i am trying to put the next hive close by, but the map is to small - so it might have to go on the other side of the map (easy for xeno to get to, but hard for humans - something i'll have to do there)
any ways - if you want to get me your concept stuff, then emal me amckern@yahoo.com

ns_edan is public for verion one
two download types - Linx zips, and windows installers
<a href='http://amckern.actionrealm.com/ns/ns_edan_v1.zip' target='_blank'>Grab the zip file here</a>
<a href='http://amckern.actionrealm.com/ns/ns_edan_v1.exe' target='_blank'>And the installer here</a>
the map is 97% done, the third hive will go some where near where it is in the final version, unless ppl like where its at - then it will stay
1 bug
xenos can climb the sky above the marrine spawn door, that will be fixed in verion 2, it should be fixed now, all but i had a FAT crash (ie my hard drive crashed), so my mapping pc is off air for a few days while i resotre from my 67 back up cds
amckern
another bug i found, and should fix is that orons can not get out, nor in the door at the bottom of the ramp in the "Outsdie Boxes"
also, is the loaction of "This hive will move in BETA" ok?
ns_edan is also the result of a concept thread about 3 months ago, just after i signed up on the forums, i found the thread, and took the concept of edan, and made it real
though its less out side then i would have liked, to get the feel of a hillside loction, i had to make some parts indoors, hence the stroy line in the ns_edan.exe installer, or ns_edan.txt found in the /maps folder

I added a <a href='http://clan00.de/mapping/index.php?action=detail&id=2392&typ=19' target='_blank'>filemirror for the zip-version of this map</a>. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
