<div class="IPBDescription">Ns_next gets re-decorated</div>Which do you prefer?

Green

ChromeAngel · April 2002

or red?

Yamazaki · April 2002

Red, because that particular green texture was never my favourite.

Mart · April 2002

Are you going for a dark, foreboding and scary feel (Red).

Or an alert, safe, feel (Green).

?

manah · April 2002

Both.

Green would work at the marine starting areas ... Red would be better further into the map.

DruBo · April 2002

I agree with manah. I like both of them, so the green should be around the marine area (tunnel 3? I can't remember) and the red should be in the other rooms. The one room that should definitely have red texturing is the one with the breakable vent that leads into a bob tunnel. I don't remember where that is, though.

for those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm attaching the latest (that I know of) beta of ns_next to this post.

[edit]well, I was going to attach the file, but for some
reason it just refused to upload. <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':angry:'> [/edit]

[off-topic]Chrome, my avatar is freaking out. Fix. [/off-topic]

TychoCelchuuu · April 2002

like they said, both, but a little less red lighting on the red parts.

Moleculor · April 2002

Red. That green reminds me a bit too much of bile.

Black_Wolf · April 2002

yeah, id go for red as well.

Big_Al · April 2002

Red, but there's got to be dark, almost black rooms, with strobing red warning lights...

realityisdead · April 2002

Ooh.. I like both! (Not much help...)

Seriously, I agree with those who are suggesting using both. Would work wonderfully to have the green near the MS and the red more in the middle. (Considering your heavily infested walls near the hives.)

Spyder_Monkey · April 2002

I prefer the red, due to its overall 'creepiness' factor.

ChromeAngel · April 2002

Drunken you're avatar looks fine to me...
...also please <b>don't</b> upload/link to the Beta3x versions, thery're not ready for public consumption yet.

For those of you that said both to my question, their is no definitive boundary features at which to change from one to the other. So it's all or nothing.

I also have to re-light the whole level to use env_gamma properly, that should raise the contrast.

realityisdead · April 2002

If only one's a possibility, I'd definitely say red.

Though, the map is obviously undergoing some major changes... I don't see why you can't simply <i>create</i> some definitive boundary features at which to change from one to the other...

Just the red should be great though. Definitely, definitely red.

Trane · April 2002

i believe a resident mapper is allready using red as his main color scheme, so if you want to be unoriginal choose red. <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'> I think they both look great and would def suggest doing whats allready been suggested, but if I had to just do one, go for the alien bile/green method. You could put some disgusting type combinations together.... cause aliens aren't just scary you know, they are gross.... or something, lol

pielemuis · April 2002

pick green <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
no seriously with some work (foggy hallways with green lighting look great btw), it can look so much better , besides red has been done before, lots of maps have those red lights, green would be a nice change, sure it takes more work to make it look better, but it WILL look better.
heh that's just my opinion <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

DruBo · April 2002

Ok, make it all red... but in order to keep down the uniformity, make the part near the bob tunnel and the surrounding areas (you know, those rooms with the resource nodes in them) <i>pulsing</i> red. Down with visibility! Up with creepiness! Vive le Next!

Fam · April 2002

The green looks detailed, clean and different. The red looks unrealistic and a bit bland IMHO.

Bob_the_Alien · April 2002

Im going to go against public opinion and say green,
I dunno I guess it just looks cooler.

Trane · April 2002

just cause i said green, eveyone else had to jump on the "i want to be different" band wagon, lol. But seriously, green fog and green lights would be awesome.

Kassinger · April 2002

I like red, but I think red fits much better when it's really dark. The fact that red doesn't make the pupils expand is the reason red is used in dark places in the first place. (Like in submarines, go to San Francisco and see for yourself in the sub that is there by the dock:)

Yolmer · April 2002

Use the red one, or change the green texture.
