that first pic REALLY reminds me of New Eclipse MS.

So.....my question is.......do you think world needs another wall_lab texture's only map? dont you think r25 and or nostromo packs arent useful? have you opened ns.wad?

ok, no joking now. I think lighting is nice but monotom, try mixing some red/orange or even white in the forst shot, and also in the second.

btw HIVES need some infestation.

Loose the Eclipse logos before KFS does his nut.

Its not the worst map ever. Most boring maybe, siege only is not my kind of fun. But it might just be me.

But the map itself isn?t that bad if you ignore the game play. I especially like the ready room. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

Ah, it is not SNiperMarine... I was a abit shocked when I read the topic <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>
So the topic name is only there to have noone say: Ah it plays like crap and it looks boring. Redo it from scratch! Maybe it is the worst non-fun-map ever? But it doesn't have to stay so. When you already know it is not good, why do you bother uploading the screenies? Wait for ideas and make the map better! Noone will play it in this state and it would have been a waste of time <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'> Thumbs up for the next screenies!

Why did you put this in your post? what does it mean?

Uh... nice screenies.
Overall suggestions:
MORE: Texture variation - Colour variation - infestation - sense of atmopshere (dark bits)
LESS: Pointless architecture (over repetition of those funny curvy struts in the hive shot there (I like the struts but less is more... sort of).

-ooh a download-
/me opens ns
...map ns_worstmapever...

Wow... cool idea withthe ready room... Ah.. uh... just two rooms?
Whats the point here?

It means there are aliens, then a wall, and then marines with siege killing the aliens.

The idea was to make the worst map ever.

And official maps use other map's wads. What are we supposed to think here?

Insane · July 2003

The issue with the Eclipse logo has nothing to do with the mapping guidelines. The simple outline is that it was created for Eclipse only and is the logo for that map.

aegix · July 2003

Looks like the TSA logo to me. I didnt know Eclipse had a logo? If it does I've never seen it.

chubbysteve · July 2003

It's a manipulation of the tsa logo. I haven't looked that closely, but yeah - it's gotta be an eclipse-related map to have that texture.

esuna · July 2003

It's the TSA logo, and you'll notice it's within a circle, with a sun coming out at one point of it.

It's meant to look like the sun just coming through after an eclipse, hence, ns_eclipse.

EDIT: Just out of curiosity, what's the point in making the worst map ever. Why be remembered as someone who creates mediocre, pointless, "fun" maps when you could be remembered as someone that made some kickarse revolutionary thing?

Darkhound · July 2003

Wow, the siege guy knows how to make architecture and use textures. I am shocked and amazed. Even more amazingly, it looks good. Time to go ice-skating in Hell I guess...
