Hi everybody,
I've been playing Trem for a couple years now and I recently decided to try making a map. This is my first map and I've kept it fairly small, along the lines of UTCS or ATCS. It consists of 4 rooms connected by 4 hallways with a central courtyard. The map has a prison theme and I've used the TRaK4 texture set to give it an "institutional" feel. Here are some screenshots.
Alien Base:

The map is hosted at the following address:

Some map features:
- The stairs that lead up to the ledge are not big enough for tyrants. In my experience rants always end up dominating the human base, at least in 1.1
- The prison cells in each hallway are only accessible to humans and smaller aliens
- The fence in the courtyard is electrified
I've tested the map on my computer (P4, Win XP) and another computer (Pentium Dual Core, Vista) and it has worked with no issues. Any feedback is appreciated and I'd love to see this uploaded to one of the servers to see what the gameplay looks like.
This is only the 1st beta and I will continue to update the map to include:
- terraining in the courtyard
- more pipespam
- should I make the ledges rant-accessible?
- some more interesting features in the locker room
- architectural details to make the walls look less flat in the 4 rooms
- flickering lights like in nano
Thanks for reading!

Great looking map.
I see you could do with a little tutorial on 3 point clipping:

LOL Odin, I wasn't expecting that!
Thanks for the 3-point clipping tutorial link 3th4n.

I just played this map and noticed a few things.
#1. Tall ceilings every one agrees this is annoying when you have a 'jet-camper'
#2. In the center, in the room with tables/vending machines, the platforms are inaccessible by the dragoon this needs to be changed.
#3. You have a fascination for areas inaccessible by any thing bigger than the marauder giving the humans a distinct advantage. These places are: jail cells on alien side (one on human side), center plat forms, cafetiria platforms, and locker room (the middle set of lockers you can fall in).
Other than that the map is quite good.
P.S. map will be added to list of maps to night.

I liked it, was already getting sick of so many similar maps(bases of future or starships)
-
It looks pretty good though a little laggy but that's because of the cheapish laptop I'm on.

I had put this map in the mg map repo maybe a week ago. Just realized today how stupid I had been and that it wasn't downloadable (bad file permissions :( ) Fixed. Its also on MapMadness if anyone wants to try it in gpp.
