<div class="IPBDescription">Natural-Selection Map Project</div> Hi people.
I want to introduce my latest map project here to get a feedback of NS players.
The map is a power plant inside a volcano. It will be very huge at the end. The current map status is: ~6% finished.
You can visit the map project with the current updates also on <a href='http://www.snarkpit.com/maps.php?map=1228' target='_blank'>SnarkPit.com</a>
Here are some screenshots:

I though the same about the stones. Are there no problems climbing them?
But otherwise that second picture was the sweetest so far! I love it! The volcano theme is also good I guess. Walkways over molten lava is never wrong. But are you final about that name? It seems a little cheesy for such a professional map.
Keep up the good work.
on that second shot you could cut away some of the colors. i dont know what you've planned but i dont think blue lights fit there very well. also the monitor seems a little out-of place.
just some thoughts =o
EDIT: I don't like the name, I think map names generally work better when they are one word, for a start. Darkest Day sounds more like a cheesy horror film, and besides, with all this lava isn't it gonna be quite hot and bright?
If you ask someone on these forums really nicely, they could probably make you a model for the brickwork that would keep the shape (although lose the lighting effect). Nah I take it back the shadows off those bricks are too could to replace with a model!
As for the name:
dies·acerbus means dark day (although it's probably the wrong case or something, I've forgotten most of my Latin grammar).
acerbime *may* mean darkest in Latin.
Also you could try out Greek and Japanese is always fun.
will you make it for ns awell <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->?

not bad

for example this one
<img src='http://www.bs-army.com/members/ding/maps/darkestday/darkest_day6.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' />
the lighting on the walls makes me suspicious.
other than that its not to my taste but not bad.
if this is the half life engine its way over wpolys way, beacuse you would have to make every block on the wall a at least 1 unit thick and that screenshot alone would then be over 700 in a heart beat.

from his snark pit account
you know r_speeds can be quite a stable value. but anyways this is TOO MUCH!
personaly I like this detailed style but trust me, this wont work, no matter what. it simply wont work.
but shurely you dont want to hear this so continue the work. when reaching the 2000 mark some other people wilol tell you that this wont work for ns...

c) he hasent posted anything in snark pit for a long time
i dont want to seem like an **** its just dosent all seem right to me
b) My map
The picture which samejima showed us (that with the wooden boxes and so on) has the following story: I tryed to get the oldschool '98 style of Half-Life.
darkest_day is just a new project with a new kind of style/design.

wpolys jumped to 600 since I added this door and holo display <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Prove me wrong please, but that doesn't seem possible.
Edit: It looks like the wpolies should be well into the 1000s
*** edit ***
btw: moultano your shiva station looks great man - I really like that one!
