Okay, Ive made and released this wee map.

Theme:

A small Cargo Vessel, pootling around, then suddenly, everyone (human) wakes up to find themselves:

a) dead
or
b) In a make-shift base with aliens in another

A deep story-line eh?

I made it deliberately hard for tyrants in the smaller corridor, cos guess what?
These ships aint for aliens.

Anyway, here is download of Alpha2 (tbh Im not sure If I can be bothered developing, its fine as it is)

(Map-Vulcan-Alpha2-1.1.0.pk3 duh)

Feedback is very welcome

Well it's not fine as it is ;). But this is a perfect example of a map used to learn so I wouldn't develop it further either if I were you.
You are learning to apply lots of technical stuff as I can see from the moving T and shader usage (although there is one shader issue in the long corridor here).
Alas some stuff has not been taken into consideration and this is mostly in accordance with gameplay. Some areas are too haphazard for both humans and aliens (the 2 ground areas and the radioactive barrel come to mind.), others for aliens (human base and the long corridor which is too narrow for it's length.) and humans overall will have a problem fighting effectively in teams. Also try using shaders next time to create the lights in the rising/falling vents since the small brushes block some aliens.

All in all a good attempt  :D . Now try applying what you've learned in a small map centered around a certain theme *cough* service facility *cough* and show it again *cough* around december *cough* after you've fleshed it out.
I’m busy. I’ll ignore you later.

Have a cough drop. And sit down. Try not to talk too much as that might agitate your throat and start you coughing again. Warn me of ay further developments.

some more shots and bugs :)

First of all, it has a nice layout(although it's a bit too symetric), and a very nice theme as well


It seems that you missed a texture here in this corridor, near the spectator spawn

Same for the other ending, this time behind a door:

also, the corridor in there is way too dark, try using the same red lighning maybe

This hole semt a bit small to me, even as a dretch. Also put some kind of (toxic?) liquid in that room. Oh, and the path between bases is too short i think


I want to see some vent here!


What does these buttons do ? :}


I also noticed a broken door behind the vent in the human base...and these two vents that surround the whole map are too identical. (Connect them ?)
