<div class="IPBDescription">This should give you a fair enough idea</div> Hi all,

This is almost the final version of my map. Just a few things to add here and there and it's done.
Rather than posting the pictures here, I give you the link to my web site <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'> that way not only you will find some screenshot (may be 20) and you'll also be able to download my map (Compiled with full vis and extra rad).

Comments highly appreciated.

Downloaded it, it still needs some work in my opinion but it's not bad overall i like new serious maps.

Some things i've noticed:

There is no info_location entities, thus hives have no names.
Some doors are not making any sound when moving.
I like the little bits of gore. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/marine.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='marine.gif'>
I like the hive that is in a diagonal room and the architecture you got there, except maybe the big block that is enclosing the hive. Add some ambience sounds (something like hiveamb.mp3 in ns/sound/ambience) and you have a very nice hive room.
The hive with scrolling water need ambience sounds too, and the "waterfall" needs to make some noise as well, its giving an "illogical feeling" too see that water fall into the pool and not making any noise.
There is a lot of vents for skulks - that is good.

Good luck with your map!

There's gore? There is some part of the ns mapping guidelines advising against gore and blood methinks...
Something about keeping the mod kiddy friendly.

Droggog · July 2003

There are some gore decals (bloody hand marks on wall), not much and i think it adds to the atmosphere.
As long as you don't want your map to be official you can do whatever you want with it.
I think the marines are bleeding in 2.0 anyway so it can't be so bad if we got a little gore in maps.
(if i remember correctly, gib_shooter isnt working, Flayra must have disabled it <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'> )
Go gore!

Inafiscisis · July 2003

Nah, I think gore ruins the feel of a map. It's supposed to be an attempted retake of an area that has been
in alien hands (claws) a long time. Surely those skulks must've eaten everything of any previous inhabitants...?

Oh and about the gib_shooter disabled, foor good reason methinks.
Gory blood bath "fun"maps? No. Never. Ever. <b>Ever</b>.

F4F_Ender · July 2003

No there is no real gore, I just used one or two decals of blood, to make it more realistics.

Thanks for your advices that are all very good and believe me I'll try to work on them.

The hive is protected with walls because I don't want JP HMG to have too much of an easy time there.

Also, I'm still not completly done, and since this post I added sound to the doors.

I know the map need some work, and I'm happy because the hive you prefer is the last one I made, and so I had more experience with mapping (that is my first map, never tried before)

So I'll add more details, add some musics (officials one) add some more vents....

If anyone has more advices go ahead (or criticize)

First map? You kidding me, right? Wow...thats one good first attempt.
Oh, and maybe a little tuning down of hive lighting? Just a little...?
