A couple more new bast pics

Relic25 · January 2002

This area isn't really finished, but I though I'd post screens anyway. ;) This is the clean, well-lit section of the UCC Bast that will be accessible to players. This area is also, in a sense, a hub between all 3 hive areas.

Note to MonsieurEvil: I have 1 800x600 of the first of the attached pics, but it's missing some important texture and details, so I wouldn't make this one fully public yet. I'll get you new ones soon.

DAMN good!

MonsieurEvil · January 2002

No prob. Quite a nice improvement in lighting over the version I'm used to. Very crisp now. Well done!

View into the brightly lit corridor visible in the 1st pic. The doorway on the right leads to the catwalk over the EM drill shaft. There are some details still missing here and the ceiling still needs detail brushes and textures.

Relic25 · January 2002

This is the old layout diagram. The pale blue hilighted area is the area shown above (except for the 'room' in the middle, which is the shaft mentioned above).

Wow, that secopnd corridor is really bright, but for some reason it fits. It just looks really good there. And as always, smashing architecture. Send us some more screenies soon.

Very, very nice. The bright corridor reminds me of those found in HALO. Which is a good thing. <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Even the layout looks good, architectoniously and graphically.

Comprox · January 2002

Absolutely stunning! <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'>
Can't even say anything negative when I want to!

Erp · January 2002

Damn! That second pic reminds me of System Shock 2.

Relic25 what program did you use to make that layout?

Flayra · January 2002

Killer work, as usual. The only thing I don't like is mine... <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> That overwatch indicator is just stand-in artwork, yuck!

my god relic, your a mapping god... <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Lotis: I whipped that together in CorelDraw. I'm one of those rare people (apparently) that <i>don't</i> use Photoshop to make 2-D graphics. When I started the job I'm in now, my company was using the Corel graphics suite, so that's what I learned. 5 years later, I still use the latest version of Photopaint. I have a co-worker who uses Photoshop, and I have seen it in action and all it is capable of, and Photopaint is nearly identical. The only differences are in terminology and interface. The capabilites of both are really the same. I can even import/export Photoshop (.psd) files and use Photoshop plugins and filters.

Just a little meaningless trivia. <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

Exactly how do u have the weapons n stuff...please tell me thats the NSTR 2 you're usin...and if not...why do I always start with no weapons or HUD?

Cremator · January 2002

ahh... very impressive. i like the hallway, very "crisp" feeling.

Relic25 · January 2002

It's not the NSTR. It was run in one of the alpha versions were are using to test stuff for NS (and NSTR2&#33<img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>.

Howling · January 2002

*hugs his Photoshop*

I want the NSTR2... so I can make a .qrk for all QuArK users out there.

Moleculor · January 2002

You can download the qrk files in the downloads page. You can find a link in the Forum FAQ or link there through the main site. It's at the bottom of the page.

Howling · January 2002

Yes I know that. I sent new ones over a looong time ago. They got posted on the QuArK homepage and I hope to make the ns.qrk and ns_tex.qrk for NSTR2 aswell.

the_stalker · January 2002

i think its cool but which room is alien start?

Moleculor · January 2002

Which ever of the three hives is in the game first. It's a random thing (which is why the marines have to basically guess where the aliens are at at first. If they guess wrong, it's not the end of the world, but the hive does spread.)

Relic25 · January 2002

the_stalker: the areas marked in green on the layout are the hive areas, and they are the locations where alien players will spawn initially (at the game's start, one of the three is chosen at random and the others will come 'online' as time passes). I think I had posted some pics of 2 of these areas in the past. 1 was of the engine room - which you can see I'm sure at readyroom.org, and the other is a room adjacent to the furnace that is so filled with alien crud and water that it's impossible to make out its (the room's) original purpose.

pielemuis · January 2002

Hey relic thats one nice map! I'm gonna enjoy playing that one!

mr_P · January 2002

omg, its so sexy

pielemuis · January 2002

djees i like that second pic!
Lightning is perfect, it's bright but it doesn't bother me a bit, maybe bob though but he isn't big enough to go on all the rides in amusement parks so just ignore him..........
Nah it rocks, lots of detail in it, and nice architecture, seeing all those pics i want to try some mapping myself.
