What Color Is Missing Here?

Ollj · March 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">ns_complex</div> This is the state of my "Reactor Hive"-location.
.jpg makes it blurry <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'>.
Dont rate the textures yet, jut anything else.
Please help me with the lightning ans comment the architecture.

The problem is that my map has 3 levels (crossing each other).
For more overview I give each level one mayor lightning "redish (bottom), greenish (middle) , blueish (top)"
Only in this Location all 3 levels meet each other.
I wanted to have bluish light coming out of the active reactors (middle) and the bottom (spots to the top), redisch light coming fom the top (sides) to light the bottom.
I just like mixing blue and red light with some small white spots in it (no white spots yet).

The question "What color is missing here?" now should be easily answered with "Green" but were to place it?
Make investation or some green fluids glowing?
Place white spots that mainly spot on green investation?
Invent the green Alien-lightbulb?

(Just noticed a misttake in this pic- blue light coming from bottom AND from top , will re-render ASAP)

From an average player's point of view, I'd say cut down on the colored lighting. Looks like a rainbow took a dump in that room.

You should rephrase that question to what colour isn't missing here, also please rename it acid trip hive. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

If I recall your layout correctly (search forum for ns_pot) this point is not a hive, so it wouldn't be called Acid Trip Hive.

Ollj, I will say that since I first saw your layout, I've been EAGERLY watching your posts looking for progress and screenshots. However, this one room is... well, yes. Far too psychadelic. Perhaps you could make the room white, you know, equal values of R G and B... then make the three corridors that lead off to the different levels the different colors you want. But try to be more subtle, and less glaring...

Unless there's a specific theme based reason to have this room all messed up. I'm noticing lightning effects... is this the inside of a reactor core or something? If so... why are you allowed inside it (while it's turned on) while not being instantly killed?

To make one thing clear: I never touched any drug, I never smoked and I dont like beer much.
The first stupid name idea was "pot" because its a shortcut for the "public off(line) topic" forum of cstrike.de.

The way I want to create my map is firstly making a blocky map with Large monocrome lights, and then just go into detail more and more (in architecture and lightning) till I reached the absolute limits.
A cubig room with 6 walls -> Same room detailed with MUCH more faces.
A room having 1-3 big light sources -> Same room with lots of small light souces and spots.

Were you see large monocrome lights now later will be lots of smaller light spots and small light sources.
This means No large smooth "psychodelic pastell" colors anymore.
And im changing the colors slowly from "000 000 255" to something like "050 100 230" to make the colors less intensive.

At first I used the well known conveyour texture from NS instead, but I had some problems with that (large brush based entity) so I tried the lightning.
I also tried a solid grate (no brush) around it but it Just kicked my VIS too much... im still working on a solution.

keep two contrasting main colours. maybe add a third light giving off texture light that is 32x32 or 16x16 if u really must. look forward to infestation in that area...and oh that laser thing makes the map look a bit too HL DMish....weird in that area

wow! Candyland!

Ollj · March 2003

Im tweaking it and its getting better.
Right now it has some nice spots but too much white in it...
No more candyland, at least not that much.

Ollj · March 2003

fixed colors.

I would say some white non-direct lights spashing the walls in a few places to bring out the true color of the wall textures would really finish it up, but thats just MHO.

Fieari · March 2003

A significant improvement. I'm still curious as to the setting of it though... what's the room's name?

humbaba · March 2003

Very Nice. I like that a lot. Maybe have a bit more chaotic infestation moving into the reactor itself (not just on the ceiling). Other than that, looks great. Lighting looks nice.
