Try not to use the same texture for ceiling, walls and floor. Make it less boxy. Human starting base is too cramped. The idea is getting there but the execution is severely lacking. Wouldn't release this under the name beta though.

About 1/2 of those pics where really dark. Mabey you could ad another light or two to the human base and random hallways.

I really like some of those textures, although I have to agree, don't make walls/roofs/floors the same. Also, in the dirt-textured rooms, try to give the wall some 3d-texture too.

Oh God, NO!! Leave it dark! If someone wants it brighter, they can mess with their own gamma.

Hi again,

I'm comin with an update.

I've just released fourth beta of Watah (I decided to skip beta 3 release).

It can be downloaded directly from here:
http://www.wroclaw.mm.pl/~kaziorvb/watah/map-watah-b4.pk3

BSP name:
watah-b4.bsp

Loading:
/map watah-b4

Callvoting:
/callvote map watah-b4

Here are few screenshots:

The new water tank


New human base (dark here but lighter in tremulous):



New alien base



And some other shots:






























I know - they look "a little bit" dark, but in trem (ofc depends on brightness that has been set) those places are lighter, and IMO playable.

For a complete gallery follow link below:

http://[img]http://www.wroclaw.mm.pl/~kaziorvb/watahsite/shots/b4/

I'm waiting for your opinions and feedback.

Hope you'll like it ;)

Yeah,

I had a lot of server problems - but finally I fixed them.
I also did some optimalisations so the map's weight is much lower.

Grab it now! :P:

It also had a bug with BSP name. Now everything's ok.

I tried it and I must say it is really good :)
the water effect was just... awesome...
but gameplay won't be that good I believe... humans could rush right from the beginning.

holyknight:

rush right? what do you mean? i think you meant gameplay in beta2 (where alien base was extremely near to humans' - now its kinda far away) - but maybe im wrong.

im workin on b5 - now im makin it a lot more detailed. actually i decided to start it from 0 - so im re-makin it and addin new improvements. atm i made the human base (2 rooms connected with water corridor -- now tyrant will fit there) and those 2 symetric halls above it. i added some pipes, corrected water light issue and ofc detailed walls etc. i will publish some shots today or tomorrow

but really tell me - have you tested watah b2 or b4?

as you know (i think) im workin on watah beta 5

im quite far away from the release, but i prepared some shots from preview 2 of it.

example shot:



for full gallery:

http://www.wtsh.xt.pl/b5-preview2/

but lol, now theyre too bright O_o... in game those places look fine (imo), and dont expect those places will look the same in final b5 - im changin some of them.

notice that i began makin it from 0 - theyre fresh (and no hollow, substract and other crap - thx mappers xD)

You're on the right path kazior! Although you still have some akward texturing habits. But we'll see in the beta :)

Are you working on a few rooms that are circular? Everything I've seen so far is rectangular except for that giant column of light, and the little lights on the ceiling. I like the idea of having a map with a lot of water, but this one still needs a few more betas :)

Basic rule, never ever release previews. The only way to accurately judge a map is by playing it. Screens tell us barely anything. So we'll wait till you release the next one.
