HanzGruber

<div class="IPBDescription">Was going to be 21 - be thankful it aint</div>I was gonna send this stuff to readyroom.org for the mapping thing...but after looking at the feature just a moment ago - I decided not to. Those maps all look great. Whilst mine look sh!t. Oh well, nevermind I guess...

And that's it..... feel free to give me the earbashing of the century about how crap it is

Moleculor

Oh.

Sw33t.

I take it the hologram is custom? Are the projectors illusionary? Dude. Smooth walls, yet tiny little details in places. Wow.

HanzGruber

ya hologram is custom...you can walk through it
the frame is real tho

MonsieurEvil

Yessss, that hologram really is the wasp's nipples. Really cool texture. I really want to see this map - it seems like the screenshots don't always show all there is to see.

Moleculor

*blinks*

*blinks again*

Wasps have nipples?

Greedo

I definitely see a lot of plain, but 5% done would lead me to believe that you're at the marine starting area, so its forgivable.  (Though that is quite a bit of map for 5%)  And I do like what you've got going here.  Nice and cool.

Scythe

When I first saw those corridors the term "Alien slaughter-fest" came to mind, but then I saw the support thingies along the side. VERY cool. Mind you, the supports wouldn't make much sence unless the map was underground or the bottom floor of a big building.

Looking Sveet.

The lighting is really great, and you've got this really big feel going on, which is nice.  Obviously you need some more details, but what you have so far is really great.  It looks like you're going to have the rough map layout done first (so we can playtest it&#33<!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo--> and then you'll fill in the details once you know the layout works.  I'm looking forward to seeing this develop!

Howling

wh00! Nice! Indeed could use some detail but it's still early, right? Looking forward to this one!

HanzGruber

you guys are too kind. not need to humour me tho...compare those screenshots to the ones on readyroom.org and you'll see the true definition of ####... I actually bought a dictionary today and it had a picture of my map under the meaning of ####

Asmodai-TPF

I'm sorry to dissappoint you Hanz but I think that map looked great!
I especially liked the starlitsky detail <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->
Also the map has as someone else put it a very spacious feel.I think It would add to the suspense if you can see Aliens scurrying at the edge of you vision.If this only 5% how many rooms will there actually be?Could you post a sketch of the layout,because I'm quite interested.
Keep up the good work! <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

mr_P

good job Hans

Space_Ape

Great Work~!  Looks huge , plenty of space for massive combat !!  I like those crash pics,  well done m8! Keep posting s.shots , this map looks sweeeeeeet!

ChromeAngel

I really liked those last two corridor pics.  I feel the hologram projector looks a bit fragile to be blocking such  a strategic doorway.  The floor textures didn't meet up under the hologram very well.

Shuvit_Viper

really cool map! i like it!

The_Pro

I agree with cromeangel. but the first few shots are great. and you know proportions very well. which i can´t say about myself <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->

InZaneFleaArmy

It looks really great.  Only thing I can say is about the crash scene.  I can't tell if a big block with a turret crashed or what LOL.  Very nice texturing and the such.  I'm feeling so happy that my school was closed on Thu and Fri and that I have a 4 day weekend...that I'm going to post a review...mwahahaha

Review:
Architecture-7/10
   The buildings seem to fit together, and you have a few details.  Maybe after you add some more, you can get a 10.
Lighting-10/10
   One word...Amazing.
New things-10/10
The hologram is sweet... nuf said.
Size-9/10
   I'm thinking that this is going to be huge considering that much is only 5% done.

Overall-36/40
   Sweet map.  Just add some more detail, and put up an outline, and this will be perfect.

chrome, it isn't actually blocking a doorway....the doors are to the left and the right...and the texture on the ground - I think it is just an unfortunate angle because that part of the ground is actually raised up (like a gutter)...I think it's a bad screeny..

pielemuis

lol Hanz that's not a bad map!
I just would place some objects in the long tunnel, i mean i wouldn't mind but i'm sure other people will say while playing it that the moment the marines place sentries in there it will be impossible for them to show them selves in the tunnel. Of course i don't know if thsi is gonna be a tunnel that's gonna be used by the aliens, if not you don't have to fill it up, i like wide combat areas, but as stated when sentries come in, it's gonna get hard for the aliens. Other than that the map looks great, i mean it. Lightning is perfect, nice textures, architecture seems great, especially the large tunnel and the collapsed roof, and i like what you did in that small room with the fog.
