your map screenies look cool
everytime i get inspired im like "WOOHOO"
have good ideas in my head n crap
then i opend valve, and i just get stuck on making stuff look nice n detailed <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo--> get annoyd n giv e up
My eyes are play tricks on you!
keep watching the site
Retexture it is my advice.
yes about 35% light ok!
Also that texture that keeps repeating all over reminds me of Half-Life too much somehow, so consider replacing it with a "proper" walltexture.
Geometry works, nothing spectacular, but no big mistakes either.
EDIT: Just remembered something. Do not use white lights except in rare situations. White lights tend to make your map look washed out, even if they are not bright. Instead use orangeish or grayish lights.
And remember, your map should have some contrasting lighting, just like you have red lights below your pipe. But don't overdo this!
I would like to see how this map turns out.
Keep us posted!
Good work, too bright and I hate yell grey but that's me.

Other than that, i'd have to see it with some new lighting before I give final judgement on the grating you're using. Think it's too much atm but i'm willing to wait and see.
Don't forget about the env_gamma entity or the -gamma RAD variable. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Some info now : *have changed map textures almost to more better
*have added to map env_gamma
*Changed all lights
*Updated from some little bugs <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
*Added a new small area in readyroom for observe place
*Taked some screenshots

Now i want to hear about the map! Mayby some wrong again? ugly? or what else.

What does "erm" mean? LOL
No.
That can't be your final ready room.
That stairway rail texture... No.
That can't be your final ready room.
It needs more work I'm afraid. Don't rush it, take the VALVe approach, "when it's done it's done." Keep at it I'd say. Here's a more descriptive list of things that I noticed:
O| First shot: That outside wall is straight. It looks wrong, the glass is slanted and the outside is at 90 Degrees.
O| Second shot: Please fix those rails. Either use a func wall rendermode solid/255 effect (in other words don't create them out of brushes) or change the texture to something more "trimmy" and align it right.
O| Overall: Still too bright.

It's ok to not release your first map or first few maps man, seriously, just have fun making it. I've made tons of stuff I'd be ashamed to release but it was fun for me and I learned alot from these guys here on the forums.
Keep at it and you'll be creating the next Ns_Eclipse in no time. (Well, I make no promises, lol, everyone works at their own pace of course) But just have fun, view mapping as a hobby not as a task or soemthing like that.
P.S. for your first map ever that is spectacular actually, my first "map" was complete shite.
~ DarkATi
I never made a "map", only parts of a potential map... I went from, ship ports with cranes and the works, banks, anime love hina (hinata inn), landing beach (WO2 style), shopping center, spaceships and much more... All had potential but where incomplete and I ignored the half-life engine limitations sometimes.
But during the progress of this I improved myself with each step.
Some random stuff which came to mind <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--><ul><li><b>Practice makes perfect</b>"</li><li><b>Know your engine</b>"</li><li><b>Read all tutorials you can find on mapping</b>"</li><li><b>Dink lot's of milk. <span style='color:gray'>*what? milk is good for the bones and stuff*</span></b></li><li><b>Get inspiration from other mappers and their maps</b></li><li><b>Don't be afraid of asking for help, tips, feedback.

I want to make a really nice map now. It's hard to me cuz this is first map i made ever.

really nice and good lights and all.
I'm get to start now. I think this can be a funmap? lol mayby like siege or something in that style. Or a map like ns hera..(lol) Actually only readyroom is done soon. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Time will tell..<span style='color:red'>When It's done i'ts done</span>..And mayby yuo ask me..hell man..How can that be yuor first map ever?
Ah.tuturials help.. I have learned more then 30 tuturials on many sites.
Why i needed to start this topic was because :
|first map..I needed some help
|Do the textures fit with the map environment?
|Ligts are working or not?
|Readyroom..I want to make the readyroom special..
Not like ns_veil's or ns_eclipse's. Only special..Pipes..Stairs and other..
I hopes yuo help me if i ask about some problems..Some experts can help!
Yuo are really nice and good people here in this forum.

Erm = raising your postcount by spamming useless crap
Nexus, the one thing I'd say is that perhaps you should make the map first and then work from there, the ready room can wait <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
