This is a map i'm developing. Your basic metallic base type area. Ya know.

Oh yes, it's also inside an astroid.

got nice architecture, however i dont like that celiling texture. good job overall

[Shifty31]

Now this is a very nice looking map

9/10 so far but as DarkMortar said that celiling texture looks kinda out of place on this map.

thanks for the support so far

it's funny, it took me almost an hour to pick that texture

[Shifty31]

I think its just a bit to dark. There dont seem to be many good celiling textures that will fit your map, so why dont you try to see if you can find a custom one

If it's where you say it is it does not show, could be anyplace from the inside. How about a window or view outside, with a rotating star backgroud so players can tell where it is their playing.

[Syko]

your wish is my command, slayera





don't worry about those textures, I have something in mind that will eliminate the need for them

[Shifty31]

Those windows look leet . Do those rocks outside move or do they just stay the same?.

Yeah, I agree. Looks good. I would like to see a frame around the window glass though, looks like the glass runs through the (window) box. Looks like a square glass forced in, if you know what I am saying.

Also would be a nice to not use the safety looking glass, maybe come up with something that has a etched look that border the windows outline.

[Syko]

nope, those rocks are part of the skybox texture

added to to-do list: put frames on the windows, change texture

[Shifty31]

THis map looks like its comeing along

Looks very nice, it's good to see a sci-fi that isn't filled with the combine textures. It looks like most of your areas are small coridoors and other tight spaces, which might not play too well in DM. Are you going to have larger, open areas as well?

I agree with the above about window frames. You really need a frame that has thickness, not just a different texture around the inside edge of the walls where they meet the glass. Alternatively, it might look good with just the same texture as the surrounding walls, so basically no frame at all, the glass attaches directly to the walls.

Anyhow, looking good! I can wait to see some more screen shots.

[Syko]

you mean windows like this?





and yes, I have a big room planned for the future

[Shifty31]

So is there a ETA on this
