Right here is some screenshots from ns_guard. I've been working on the map for quite some time. Eight Screenshots to come, so please do not post any feedback until the 8th is done and dusted. Thanks.
IMO-There is alot going on on the walls and ceiling, but the floor areas look really empty(hope i explained that right)and i know you need space for builiding!!
and the red spot lights on the pipes look a bit rare <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Moconner: yeah I see what you mean. I guess it will come down to in-game testing with a 16 player server to see if it needs changing or if its fine.
Looks nice Thursday, The first picture of the corridor really impressed me. It has that Clean style to it, without using the textbook clean textures <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I just realised I've mucked up the gamma correction on every shot <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo--> They're all a bit too dark. Oh well, the next two have been mucked up aswell, but they show the hive, and area outside alot brighter.

There is nothing wrong with that floor texture, its how I want it to be. The RT thing, hmmm, there is barely any space left, but I will consider moving it.

I dont see anything wrong with it <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo--> . A floor tile is manufactured a standart way and the layout of a building most of the time forces the construction workers to cut it so it can fit. Same goes for level design if you ask me <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
One thing bothers me though, where is the light comming from to light up that hive and rt.

mmm.... everyone kneel in the presence of thursday and is terribly atmospheric lighting. truely, it is awesome. i'm not sure how it will translate to gameplay, but it looks fantastic.
about that Hive/RT thing, it is a very valid point. 6 or 7 nades in there and you've lost your RT, half way on the hive. any spawning aliens are gonna get whacked too.
you could counteract that by making a little cubby in the wall somewhere for the RT and then make the spawn entities on the edges of the hive room. that way if you've got a GL at the edge of the room poor little skulky is that much closer to the enemy.
other than that it's really just.. gah. you make me jealous. ^_^ you've got an abundance of ceiling detail which is always good, and plenty of verticle gameplay options. always keep the verticle gameplay in mind! yes. i've said it, now i must try to do the same. bwar.
