Map Description

It is a power plant inside an active vulcano using the heat of the lava to drive steam turbines. It will get very loud inside this power plant because of the ultra huge turbines.

Someone's been playing Doom 3 too much. :wink:

It looks great, but it's just too dark for a HLDM map. if it was SP, it would be fine.

Yeah, I have to work on that rocks.

But there are 2 new screenshots of some holo displays I'd created:

The first of the new screenshots looks a lot less impressive than the earlier ones, particularly due to the poor rockwork.

Lighting's great and the architecture's got some class, though I still detect some boxiness.

Personally, I think all the light and architecture is great. Looks like a very colorful version of Doom3.

Okay, thanks Reno :smile:

Well I almost finished "Lava-Pit A" now using this panel stuff.

Take a look:

Its volcano by the way, for future use :smile:

Very nice looking but almost painfully dark, it really doesn't seem
particularly playable to me. NS maps might work when dark though, I
dunno.

i'm a fan, real nice work

im actually working on a similar style map..not with a vulcano though... and seems we're both a fan of similar textures like that floor :smile:

Looks very nice :smile:

and I like the map name

edit:

Is it a HL map or a NS map? Looks like a NS map, and the topic description says "ns_darkestday maybe..." [size=13] but the map has the HL icon.. very cryptic[/size] :wink:

nice, even if the pics look a bit dark for me atm. but i'm guessing that's got more to do with me being in a bright room, and the small linked pics having a big white background.

this map looks like an ideal candidate for some of that pixel shading light effect malarky.
