<div class="IPBDescription">It's (mostly) done</div>I accidentally resized them before brightening for the env_gamma, so it's probably a bit darker than it should be, especially in the real dark shots. Was just submitted about 2 minutes ago. Not all these areas are final, and some you've seen before... but some you haven't. <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->

    The map looks excellent KFS! I can't wait to playtest it!

    ...once we've put it through the paces I'll probably have some input. Not much I can see to make it look better tho. Awesome work!

    A feast for the eyes. Just from seeing some of the various minimap pics above, it looks like you thought the layout thropugh carefully. I can't wait to see this thing for myself when I get home.

    Great work, KFS. Take five!

    Awesome KFS. I just love the skylights. Pics 1, 2, 10, 13, and 14 are esp. awesome (probably just because these are new to me), but they all look spectacular! Very nice lighting in 13.

    oh man oh man, alot of this map reminds me (especially two corridors) of AvP2.. beeing chased in the beginning by a praetorian as a marine (I think it's the third level or something) and just looking at those shots makes me get goose bumps.. man KFS.. I applaude you!

    *slowly looks under bed.. smiles happily after a good long check.*

    for me this map doesnt really look like any AvsP map. KFS has used the "orangeish" wall textures to create basically all the map and some "brownish" textures for the lower and alien near hive zones (which by the way is something i didnt do but i should have done, cause i used about all the wall textures i found <!--emo&:(--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('><!--endemo--> ).

    I like it alot and im expecting eclipse to be one of the top 5 maps of NS. I really like the primary access corridor part. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    looks quite nice.  though much of the map is rather sparce and with rather blocky design.  i think that you could add a fair amount of detail.

    People SAY that, but I had to cut a fair amount just to evade allocblock:full.

    If I can spare the room, I'll add detail where I think I need it.

    acctually it looks like that place where the praetorian chases yo, but i took the time to check that part and its different, but the colors and the wall style makes ya "revive" the moment

    Heh, now maybe you can understand the bareness of a couple hallways in ssn?  <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo--> (It's all about engine limits...)

    Seriously though, the map turned out wonderful. It was really cool finally getting to see this thing in action.

    The new areas like the piston things and the exaust towers are really great, and I just love what you did with Teh 3gg. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    I have to say, shot 12 is a little bland. Otherwise, looking great.
