    ok, just got done taking a look..

    As I have said in the other thread about your map, I felt that the hive room was a little too lit.  After running this map, I think that it is much much too bright.  My gamma is set up at just a little past the middle and it was very bright.  I strongly suggest you make that area darker.  You did a great job on that are that passes through the earth's walls.  It looks beatiful and the r_speeds are low.   However, if a marine falls down there is no way for him to get up.  Maybe you want to consider adding a rope, or other means of getting up if a marine fell.  I still think that the texture you have used for the mine walls is too half-lifeish and I think that GENERIC48 just has that more NS feel, the darker feel, and I would picture that the inside of a mine does look like that texture.  The area to the right of the marine spawn, the steps -- is lit by the HALL_WALLLIGHTS.  They looked out of place to me, they just didnt seem to fit in.  Maybe you can find one that fits better?  Also -- some brokben pipes with particle effects, or a praticle effect with rising fog from the water in your mine area would rock.

    The rest of your map, including the layout rocks.  These are only my suggestions...

    I'm just about to run around but before I do I think you should really take my wad out of the zip...cause a lot of people already have it - minus the wad the zip is only 550k as opposed to the 2+ mb it is now...

    ok...

    main points:

    - nice r_speeds in general. I think you have room for a little bit more detail. No need to go overboard but with such low r_speeds there is nothing stopping you adding some pretty things
    - Looking at the commander console view thingy I can make sense of the map and what leads to where. But without the map I found myself getting terribly lost almost non-stop. I'm sure there is more of the map I could have seen but I just couldn't find it.
    - The texturing is not bad but, tied in with the last point, it really didn't have a flow towards the hive which I think led to my confusion.
    - I think the lighting, whilst good in some places, really does need some work. Now, I don't know if its just me but I have my monitor up fairly bright and I was struggling to see pretty much anything in some rooms and then I found the hive and was blinded by the light. A line that I believe is in the mapping guidelines should help you - maps in general "should appear to be dark, but never actually be dark". That is, use the lighting to emphasise that it's a dark place but never actually let it be dark so that people cannot see...

    i think i saw a misaligned texture on that monitar with the scan lines, you should fix it when u get time.

    big thanks to everyone that has downloaded my map. I will see how i can fix all the points, but i will do it. If i find i way how, i will put some signs in it to find the way.

    Yes, its true its a little bit bright, i need to tweak a little bit the gamma... its not on every computer the same thing.. has anyone sugestions for the gamma setting? now its on 1.6

    @hanz, the wad is in because first in wanted to give the map to friend of me. he hasnt the nstr and also, he hasnt the wad. I packed all in put it on my server. After that i had the idea that i coud gave the link to everyone that i have more feedback.. next release will be without your wad in.

    I'm in a bit of a hurry, but I had a quick look around.  I found all the hives fairly quickly and only got lost only twice.  When I have more time, it will time how long to each hive from the MS.

    Lighting wise I found it a bit on the bright side.

    The hallways didn't seem to offer much in the way of cover or lighting contrast.

    I liked your aritecture, but the texturing needs work.
