it looks seriusly NS'ish
the second pictures lightning coud use some work
but overal, it looks good

Thaldarin · January 2005

A nice dark industrial theme going. I feel you have used too many crates, and you are working the textures really well. It also looks as if you can squeeze some extra wall detail in, because they're quite flat at the moment and your poly limit should allow it. Some nice monochromatic lighting with the use of lightspots could go down well in Manufacturing, and I love that industrial crap being thrown out in the last picture, make it poisonous <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

good looking so far, the fog in the last pic might kill some video cards though.

BulletHead · January 2005

how did you do that fog?

I am DYING to do something similar to that in my one room, but I can't figure it out <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' />

<img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /> bullet head are 2 types sprite ones and the ns particle systen.

Yeah I used sprites (haze) for the fumes outside. I'm thinking of having the fumes in every outdoor part to have a polluted feel to the map. As for Manufacturing, I've only done the basic architecture of it and I will add vents, ducts, and maybe skylights next. I don't really like the hera ceiling but I have yet to find a better texture for it.

Thanks for the comments! I'll do new parts of the map as soon as I add details and try to lower compile times.

BulletHead · January 2005

can you show me the .rmf of that? I'm unsure what you mean by using sprites for the haze <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' />

SgtBarlow · January 2005

its a sprite called haze.spr using env_sprite entity.

Alcapwn · January 2005

Its kinda...boring.

Stuff more crap in there. More dark hallways with monitors glowing!

Dictator · January 2005

I will...I'm trying to have the dark, gritty atmosphere to be consistent in my map, but I don't want it too dark, because that would be bad for gameplay, especially for aliens.

Vader6 · January 2005

I like the last pic, it actually has a starcraft feeling to it.

GiGaBiTe · January 2005

i would think the pollution effect would look good if you had clouds of pollution in the sky that moved across the sky (like the old ns_tanith outside where the forcefields with the clouds) and have a kind of bog of pollution near to the ground that was only about up to your waist.

but of course that would take alot of entities to make, and have a bad hit in performance on older machines.

Dictator · January 2005

I'm saving the "near to ground bog-like" stuff for another place that I would make that would be like a chemical disposal area where some dense chemicals leaked out and stayed near the floor (like the effect when you pour water on dry ice).

BulletHead · January 2005

How did you set up the haze sprite? How many did you use per x units?

Dictator · January 2005

I put the haze sprites randomly. I keep them towards the middle because if they are too near the ground or some walls, they make a distinctive line on it and looks really bad. The sprites are addictives set at fx amount 100, and scale of 3.

On a different matter, Manufacturing has been updated and is now know as Cargo Transfer, with more screens and a crane (which nearly triples compile time <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad-fix.gif' /> but I'm working on a less complicated crane to replace it).

Dictator · January 2005

The crane is more visible in this shot:

Belgarion · January 2005

well whaddayaknow. another style from the basic NS textures. i never get tired of seeing that.

That room with the two doors and the haze and the open sky.. it's great, however, you need to put something in there to plausably disallow skulks/lerks/fades/jps to just fly out of there. otherwise fantastic. and in the last two pics, those are really great.

but i'm curious as to why your compile time would tripple. i'll assume that your vis compile trippled. if that's the case you can func_wall that crane. vis will ignor it and you won't even have to toggle it to be opaque. it's too dark up there anyway. looking real nice. i hope you continue this and end up with a shmashing new NS map.

Dictator · January 2005

Yeah I know its weird...before the crane was added the leafthread was around 10-12 mins but after it was added it jumped up to 40 mins. Meh doesn't matter I've removed it anyways.

Last pic(first page) reminds me Silent Hill atmosphere <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /> Looks really nice. Good job. Looking forward to rest <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

Didn't that fog effect lag though? I thought that was why it was removed.

Belgarion · February 2005

i believe it was removed because it is an OGL only entity. Doesn't show up in DX.

Zephor · February 2005

Got a map layout pic? :o

Dictator · February 2005

I've finally got an update on the map:

Conservatory Hive:

BulletHead · February 2005

pance /= creamed

pance = hole blown thru

Thaldarin · February 2005

Horrible over-tiled nos_ texture straight ahead in that hive! I like the texturing style alot, it works well. Just you need some wall shape variation, finer details and more contrasting lighting (especially in that hive...lighting is a must be good!). Coming along well, for now, my pants are dry though <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' />
