<div class="IPBDescription">OMG! Line in sig means something!</div> So, yea...had you read that post about co_ killin NS, you woulda read about my laziness about doing projects. Well, one thing was ns_cleveland. Well, heres the scoop...

NS_CLEVELAND (Yes, I know...was the only name I could think of...think of it like a hommage or whatever)

The Cleveland Hotel and Casino

Infested by bacterium from a cargo ship.

Projected Hives: Pool, Stage, and Casino Room (the bacterium are attracted to heat and water, correct. I believe each room has one of those, so no complaining that its not logical and such! I do my homework...except for Government...I don't like that class)

Currently, I am working mainly on MS to Pool Hive. I am a stickler for perfection...so I am trying to perfect MS and such...

Here are some shots:

Well, there are some things I'm working on...and I'm trying to find someone to make some custom textures (PM me if you are interested!). My good friend, c00k13, Cookie, or however he has his name now, decided NOT to do the textures.

Oh, and I think the lighting sucks...anyone have a better way to do it? Should I just put light ents in or whatever?

Well, comments n crits welcomed! Actually, there demanded! Rawr!

    Err.. looks odd. You should definitely not use that same metal texture over and over.

    Are these just very very early shots or are you new to mapping?

    The architecture could look interesting, though.

    Yes, these are VERY early shots. I mean, come on...I know that having the diamond texture everywhere looks tacky (the diamond texture is what I sue to build things with)....as I said...I was kinda wanting some custom textures, but, if you musi insist, I can just use what I had.

    Taking the fact that it's very early stuff here, its looking good. I love the style of it so far, interesting shapes and such. Then at the same time it looks very bland, kind of like a siege map tbh. Perhaps its the textures or something greater, that i can't quite put my finger on.

    TIP: Always build new brushes with the "NULL" texture.

    Pleasing the forumites...part 2

    Ok, just so you know...I kinda like the darkness in the marine start. I should let you know, MS is located in a basement-type building. Basements are nomally lit up as bright as Las Vegas, so don't complain too much about it. And I hope you are happy that I used the textures. They actually look ok, so I may keep them like that. And yes, I know that the dreaded diamond textures. I'm not sure what I want for the ceiling yet.

    C&C please while I finish the rooms leading to the Pool Hive!

    I will give some true Mendasp-style comments:

    Architecture is fairly good, lighting and texturing needs work.

    looks like that area might be a bit too open, however, judging by the rt and the command chair, I'd say that it looks alot bigger then it is. My eyes are telling me that rooms huge, but the rt is telling me it isnt :O

    I'd like if there were some kind of recesses (i don't know if this is the right word, but what I mean is like alcove, but in ceiling) in the ceiling. They would be lit darker because the actual lights would be located a little lower. Then you could add some pipes, wires etc. Something that fits with the idea of your map. On top of that I can imagine some kind of grill on them to prevent skulks from hiding there. I know pipes that aren't hidden behind walls and such might not be very obvious in modern spaceships, but at least try to add something there. Atm it looks too uninteresting. Other than that I like it. Just don't use diamond on walls.. don't like it. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Geez...if its not one thing, its the other... <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Now, I just wanted to clarify the alcove thing. You think it should bend outward, correct? Well, doesn't matter, because thats what I'm doing...maybe. How would y'all feel about a ventilation system that is visible. Now, dont get your panties in a wad, because one, its only for the "basement" section of the map, and two, I don't think there is a need for panty textures in maps. Well, in NS maps, that is.

    And another thing...
    I know about the diamond texture...its just a filler so that I can see what the shape of the map looks like before I waste time texturing it to the way I want it. Anymore, and I'll make a funmap of diamond. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> Or at least a secret room of it.

    Anyways...I need to get working on this. I want to show y'all the RR. I think you forumites will be pleased on the RR.

    EDIT: The MS is actually not that big. I guess its just my l33t screenie skillz or whatever. I'll get an overview in a bit.

    That texturing work looks half-decent. Maybe you could adapt it further and put it to better use on a "serious" map?

    realistically more detail, more use of texturin and lightnin and with all of that, which wouldnt be much, it could look so so much better, not bad though on the start.. keep it up

    Oh, now its all texture lights. I was just trying something. Wanted to emphasize the CC, so I was trying a few things. Just experimenting.

    That shaft, it goes down to the next level. One "story" so to speak.

    No thanks. I always build with the most horrible texture I can find (either so horrible you can't miss it or a very gaudy colour), texture the visible areas then at the end of an area replace your 'build' texture.
