I've posted some of these screenshots on the official NS.Org forums, some I've made exclusive to Skulk Rush Community Competition only. Come to think of it if your looking to create an NS map (co_ or ns_) http://community.skulkrush.com is holding one which looks and awards maps for different aspects of their design.
Anyway back to the main topic, here is the pictures, looking for some feedback.
NOTE: Some screenies will have comments about what I plan to do with them, as they're about 7days+ old.



The above two screenshots are pictures of Anti-Matter Processing. Blue things are the anti-matter processors, I have no current plans to change them at all. Although the new white lighting is sharper in my personal build.

Above is the Sensor Array Hive, I'm going to add a railing to the end of the square bit poking out. Also going to add some hanging infestation from the ceilings.

Sensor Array hive again, the floor underneath the hive is having a new makeover. There will be a grate with some dark blue light being given off from underneath, pipes will be visible through the grate. I'm also planning on putting some big fat pipes to the side of the grate too.

Basically it just needs more detail all-around, 'tis what those NS cretins look for in their maps. All of the floors and ceilings that I can see are flat as a rat pancake. Lighting's pretty good, though, maybe a bit too bright though since Skulks/Lerks are gonna want some place to hide.

disagree about the flooring, Its solid & stable. Agree about the lighting, Its not moody enough, Its not dark enough to creep in. If I were to change 1 big thing in the map from what I can see, Its definately the lighting.

Hi Thursday :smile: I can't see anything wrong with those screenies really. The ceilings aren't flat... look at the first screenshot. I think the main thing to put in is stronger lighting which will in turn create stronger shadows to hide in. However you don't have to do this... tanith/eclipse/veil dont really have anywhere (other than vents) that a skulk can walk along unseen due to the dark.

lol, no just do some func walls which block lights like the thing int he middle :biggrin:

mine looks but-ugleh compared to THAT

looks really nice, cant wait to try it, maybe flarya will make it an offical map

the floor just under the hive in the last pic... the texture is tiled there several times and it is quite noticeable.

maybe you can strech it somewhat or us a texture that does not have such hard lines.

... or maybe align it so the edges of the texture line up with the edges of the brush and stretch it accordingly.

otherwise, the map looks great!

I dont know about you, but if I knew them things were creeping around my house, I would have every light on.. Screw the darkness.. =) But as it seems these things have set up base in this area of the map, I would dim the lights as well, as I am sure they dont like it.

Looks good to me.. Never played or mapped for NS, so I dont know much about it. Looks like fun though.. kinda like Aliens Vrs Predator, or StarCraft meets Half Life.
