<div class="IPBDescription">Screenshots, questions and some more...</div> Hello first!
I have a new map again!
The name is ns_anadim!
My question: Is the name okay?!
At first I built the marines start, I think that is the best!
There will be 3 ways to get inside the base!
A vent and 2 other ways!
1 of these ways is fully build with a door!
The other one should not have a door!
The vent is weldable!
There are 2 elevators at the start!
look at the picture...

Use one of the glass textures from the ns.wad the HL ones dont go so well.
same with the pipes.
I would suggest making a darkish pink, with some clouds for the sky, makes it one of those... I dunno, Dust Barren Planet looks?
I like the looks of it. it isn't garishly lit, yet it's bright enough. And glass panels <i>always</i> add class <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Looks like a nice marine spawn overall!
However, the floor looks a little bland! Add something to break up the diamond pattern!
Try adding some dips or subtle height changes to the floor!
Also, the lighting could use some shadows!
Don't make everything lit so evenly!
Those overhead windows could cast interesting patterns, if you do it right!
Good job, though. It has definite promise, especially for a marine start, which is usually the brightest and most open area of the map.
But the RT up there is so lonely, it is too hard to climb up there to save it everytime a skulk starts to munch it.
[edit] Yeah and the supports for the ceiling, and maybe some more visible glass, since it seems like you can go out there anytime you want.
[edit2] Answer to your question: Where does the name come from? It isn't that bad if it has some sort of meaning.
I am <span style='font-family:Times'><span style='font-size:12.5pt;line-height:100%'>sorry</span></span> that i have forgotten the ready room!
But here is it now!
I made it simple for not so good computers....
I mean: the level should look good, the ready room not to much...
Because there is a limit for maximum objects... (4048) or something around that...
My brother has this problem....
<span style='color:yellow'>And my problem here:
If you still do not know, i am 12 years old and from germany, so I have sometimes some problems with english...
Can someone tell me what 'BLAND' means...</span>
Maybe have a glass dome on top of the marine start, with support beams running up into it? I dont know, the other glass looks a bit plain and boring.
