I’ve been hearing some requests around these forums asking for screens of this map since it will possibly be included in 1.1, So here’s a few… Don’t get your hopes up for inclusion. Btw, you don’t need to point out that the name sax, I know that already but don’t care ;o

Now that looks like an interesting map. Seems to have a good layout and structer. All I can hope for is that it plays well.

lol

does this map have any open places or is it just a lot of hallways with vents hopefully (skulks heaven)<img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'> you know cause its named mineshaft and....yea

Fortuna_Wolf · May 2003

dunno, ns_hallway might be fun to play. I always thought that ns_nothing == ns_hallway. I think the only thing which isn't technically a hallway is the viaduct hive.
*ducks*

If you really sit back and examine maps though, the either fall into two categories, rooms connected by rooms and doorways
or rooms connected by hallways (which is a special case of hallways connected to hallways).
And when really considered, they're the same.

A room just tends to be a large open area of a hallway.
A hallway tends to be a long linear room

And those screenies are really amazing. GIVES TO ME

Sadly, my entire map at the moment is made out of nothing but white concrete. But the again so far, I just finished the first alpha and we're testing gameplay before I add in the pretties

Vyvn · May 2003

Mmm... seks in a mineshaft...

Really amazing stuff, Ekaj. A tad more colored accents in the lighting would be welcome, since most of the lighting, except for the first pic, looks like the same coloring. Nothing wrong persay, since the lighting is one of the best parts, but it could do with some more variation. But overall, looking superb. I hope this version of the map works out.

Campaignjunkie · May 2003

Mmm, very interesting color scheme you have going on with the lights. I like the brownish-amber atmosphere... Fairly characteristic of a mine shaft I suppose. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

It's probably just me being stupid, but it doesn't "feel too dark" to me. Looks warm, inviting, and almost cozy in a dirty, mineshaft-sort-of-way. I really like those chairs and the table! Also, I have a strong urge to make something similar to those light fixtures you made where the pipe connects to the support-wall things in screen 4.

quazilin · May 2003

I like almost everything in those screens, cant wait to play and see the whole map!
Lightning is sweet and gives nice contrast. Pipes and metal walls make me feel <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tiny.gif'> <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tiny.gif'> <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tiny.gif'>

blueman · May 2003

mmm so sweet i love the local lighting. It has to be very scary to go round the map if lighting is so well placed. gj Ekaj i hope mineshaft is to 1.1 what Hera or Bast where to 1.0. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

Insane · May 2003

Beyond sexy, Ekaj. As usual, the lights are wonderful.

Asraniel · May 2003

you made it look like a mine without a single rock... im impressed

ANeM · May 2003

Heh, I see what the pts are talking about by better looking that some UT2003 maps..

tseepra · May 2003

Really nice, although you already knew that, but any chance of us getting a layout?

Lt_Gravity · May 2003

now I know why it will get official in 1.1
its very nice. exspecially the seats at the table. some more "hell, not to imagine humans worked here ones..." atmosphere to scare marines <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>
is there a downloadable version anywhere? guess not, huh?

Flayra · May 2003

Just to confirm, ns_mineshaft will definitely be included in 1.1 (unless it somehow is destroyed or becomes unplayable somehow). Nice job Ekaj, you really knocked us out with this map. Not only is it beautiful, it's extremely efficient.

Fortuna_Wolf · May 2003

Well then Ekaj, congratulations <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>
Is it too late to submit a map for 1.1 playtesting?

Yeah, the deadline for submission was quite a while ago, February the 14th I think.

marcos · May 2003

This is truly one of the best looking HL maps ever! I'm really looking forward to play this gem.
Great job sir! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>~

Lt_Gravity · May 2003

I know that mineshaft willl be official. but is there an "tryout" beta version out there? cant wait...

DarkOmen · May 2003

This appears to be one crazay map. In my eyes, it's selling point is the nice contrast between dark and light... really, REALLY eye catching!
