only problem now is: the installer (self-extracting winrar file) is written in german... but only a few words, which i couldnt change.

simply enter the output directory, and hit the button on the bottom right "Entpacken" (which means "extract").

marine start is right under the readyroom... so you can watch the marines without joining the spectators... if they want

you seriously need to align your textures, lighten things up and work on your brushes, but other than that, good job =)

Lord_Maldazzar

hm... this might be a problem caused by too much playing NS... most of the people's gamma is so high, they dont even see shadows anymore. and the darkness+ambient sounds in some areas make it even more scarier on my opinion <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

perhaps we could meet in irc to discuss this thing =)
i did the texture alignment a bit to quick, but i can still change this if its too extremly visible.

err..what should i work on my brushes?

IMO the glass in observation bridge looks too dull. Is that from original half-life wad? Also I don't like the way you are using the yellow-black stripes. Maybe little overusage.., makes it look more like hl.. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> I would suggest trying to find better texture for the glass. Some textures, ie in the first pic seem to have very high scale. If you can, try to scale them down. Other than that, architecture is neat and Looks very good. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

thx <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
well, as i see, my problem is the wrong usage of textures... ill rework this (all textures), but at the moment, you people can play my map <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

ill rework the textures in a few weeks.. atm, im soo tired of mapping ^^

Lord_Maldazzar

hm... what do you guys think? should i add more details (more brushes) to my map? or just remake the whole textures? :>

this is my first map, and the main prob are still those damnit textures ^^
