I was just looking at the higher resolution textures over at mapcore,
and I finally noticed the fog effects you have going on
underneath. I can't believe I never noticed it before, it looks
great!

The 2nd screenshot you posted last page looks a little empty. I'd suggest putting a wall with an open arch doorway with a big glass pane so you can see into that section with the rechargers. Don't make the glass breakable.

some nice shots in there. how are the fps ?

Yeah, regarding the orange texture, I like the way it highlights the
outside areas, but I feel like you could dirty it up, or add lines to
give it some character or something to make it appear different from
the default dev texture.

I'm finally getting a sense of the business and complexity of your level, which is amazing.

The warehouse looks better -- but perhaps you could custom model something cool to transport aside from crates?

I love the window textures and advertising in the background. Put even more of that in. Add some details to the lower areas also. Cover the whole background with bright spots until it looks completely random. I think what makes great sci-fi city settings is that feeling of a "grown" city, of buildings that aren't planned but added to the place over hundereds of years. Right now it looks too much like a single architect built the whole city (actually that's the case :biggrin: ) so maybe you have to "break" the symmetry and architectural styles a bit more.

One more thing I noticed (and I don't know if it's true): Those orange textures look almost exactly like the orange room textures. Maybe I'm just paranoid but make sure you don't get used to the orange room textures too much and accept them as a part of your (finished) level. I don't think the orange color fits with the rest of the level - at all!

Sorry about the delay, but I've been busy in school.
All ereas have now been enhanced and look quite well, but there are still lots of stweaks to do before final. However im quite close to releasing a beta-version of the map.

The biggest changes are new textures, but there are also places that have been enhanced by more detail. I have brighten all of the screenshots to make it easier to see for those who use CRT monitors.


Heres a corridor that has been enhanced quite a bit, however it still looks quite dull. I will add more detail to it before the final version.


This room has been enhanced with new textures, aswell as the blue monitor in the ceiling.
The chairs to the right will hopefully be replaced by models before final release.


Here's a pic from a scene that hasnt been enhanced with new detail, however new textures has been applied. Its quite difficult to see them from this angle thoug (stupid me).


The same scene from a different angle, here you can more clearly see some new textures that I made (the orange ones for example) .


Heres the warehouse from a different angle. it hasnt been enhanced much, except for the orange textures to the far left.


Heres the elevator shaft from a different angle, the new stuff is that the connections to the shaft has been detailed and fit in properly.

Can't ever happen, if you do it correctly. I find the concept of someone making a great map, but completely unable to post images correctly a bit hard to believe. Stinks of "I can't be bothered"

This second picture definitely looks great (its content, NOT its size.) The lights may or may not be bright enough, since screenshots usually lie about that sort of detail, but the atmosphere went up markedly with the new additions.

I am not even going to mention my tutorial again. You've been here far to long now. :rolleyes:

Yup, that looks far more interesting. Doesn't really look like you increased the functional brightness much (looking at the platforms players can actually be on), but the scene is far less dark overall. Good job :smile:

Ive been making textures and remade the 3D-sky a bit during this week, however theese changes are small so i wont bother you with more pics.

Ive also done a remake of the elevator shaft to match the detail level of the rest of the map.Many people has told me about the map being a bit too dark, so i thought it would be wise to make the shaft a bit more bright aswell.

Heres a pic of how it looked like before:

The images appear to be broken (at least for me).
