If i have only one advice to give you...

Don't try to create something too big, there is 99% chance it will fail.
Start small, finish it, don't try to create a huge map with tons of features you don't (currently) master.

Gain mapping experience with "basic" things, then try something more ambitious.

Btw... you make a strange use of some textures. Shocked

Since Sierra will close its servers, i wonder if it worth anymore to map with dedit.....

.... Why people panicing about it? New master server system is done in few days. Expect 1.0.9.7 unofficial patch coming, perhaps AJL Rel 2.5 patch coming and also Fortress mod with new server system code adapted to it.

Please, shut the fuck up about the Sierra master server shutting down. It's their decision and no use for us to curse 'em.

About the map, can't judge it based on the pic. Hope you make sure the map has lots of details and is "wisely" constructed and could even work in the real world. Those maps are the best.

bluish or purplish i think would be better but a bathrrom is needed oo maybe a vent elading to the top of a shower.

and if you add a shower put some kinda creepy trigger to say that the shower is crused. :affraid:

make sure you add smoke and stuff those always make maps cool and make an open 2 level room kinda like aurgia that would be a good place for a mess hall. the hive should be directly uunder the complex but deeper in the ground as if dormat and it should be competely closed than like 2 minutes into the game an earthquake happens destorys the ceiling to mkae an hole to the complex that would be a very nice trigger. im not even sure there should be an outside? maybe the complex will be in a deep cavren like in that predator mission old debts. and for the lviving chambers just do them like the pods and make like the soilders have one big room with beds also alot barricades would be good to. i'd like a very vertical map to nothing too big. a generator would be good to like a plasma genorator and make sure the lights can go out :face: :D i cant wait for it! :bounce:

You could try torrents, it's legal since you already own the game legally, watch out for viruses though.

Yeah I know. I've tried and had to remove 4 viruses.... It's either srewed up or you have to pay. anyway

Back to the earthquake it should be aleast 5 minutes before it happens to let everyone join the server and let teams plan, or somthing and it should kill all under the..... RUMBLE!! :!: :@:

:face:

:bounce: :sleep: :lol!:

they all died under the rumble :D
