Hey! This is my first attempt at mapping for Natural Selection, I've spent nearly all day today working on it, what do you think? Here are some screens:

<img src='http://freewebs.com/hivemind/hive.JPG' border='0' alt='user posted image' />
The Alien Hive


<img src='http://freewebs.com/hivemind/marinespawn.JPG' border='0' alt='user posted image' />
Aerial view of Marine Start. (NB: Time + Jetpacks due to cheats were on to take that screenshot)


<img src='http://freewebs.com/hivemind/readyroom.JPG' border='0' alt='user posted image' />
Portion of the readyroom. I'm not very artistic, it'll probably be better next version.

Random Screen 1: Marines lurk in the darkness.


<img src='http://freewebs.com/hivemind/screen2.JPG' border='0' alt='user posted image' />
Random Screen 1: Attack that hive! Goddammit!

    Definatly looks like a first map... simple architecture (everything looks like hollow boxes with more boxes inside), misaligned textures... well, keep working on it, mapping takes time <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Update!

    Once again, I've spent my whole day on this map, and have updated it
    quite a bit.

    <img src='http://freewebs.com/hivemind/corridor.JPG' border='0' alt='user posted image' />
    Here is a picture of one of the (now) three corridors leading to the hive.


    <img src='http://freewebs.com/hivemind/hiveroom2.JPG' border='0' alt='user posted image' />
    The new hive room. Has a new corridor into it, as well as the little
    second story platform.


    <img src='http://freewebs.com/hivemind/new_rr.JPG' border='0' alt='user posted image' />
    The new readyroom. Not the best, but it's definitely better than before.


    As before, you can download the UPDATED one

    I have played this map and it is very good for a first map though I noticed a "Giant Vent" which takes about 50 seconds to get to the other end. <!--emo&::hive::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/hive5.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='hive5.gif' /><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::skulk::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/skulk.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='skulk.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    The texture application tool is your friend, learn its uses. Also you want to tie that rail in the hive to func_illusionary set to Render mode - Solid and fx amount - 255. that'll make it see through, then make another world brush textured in clip the same size and shape of the rail, that will make sure you can't walk through it, but you can shoot through.

    Another thing to think about it light source, at the moment all you lights are just random ents placed where you want them, and have no light fixture to make it look lik ethats what the light is coming from.

    I'll attempt to get onto these issues some time soon. This was mainly for during the school holidays, however, keep an eye out !
