IM TOTALY REMAKING THIS MAP

Here the prefab of thunderhawk landing for it

and here some screen of i got right now

DUDE! i like it. feels heavy and industrial in the last pic, the smog is perfect. though try to use as many imperial textures as possible to make it as 40k as possible with what the team has atm. lots of pipes and other stuff found in manufactures will help you a lot, i like the atmosphere i see there. EPIC horizon, you give the player the feel hes on a high level in a tower of the hive. awesome thunderhawk thing you put in there simply amazing ! add as many such customization effects to make the feel that theres really a battle going on and youll make the father of all EX maps !
keep it up!

here is some update
i started to remake that alley from the first screens
that how it looks now
http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/913/exhivecity0001.jpg

i like the remake, cant wait 2 look around in first-person O_o

I am not sure how you got that lighting but it says "imperial glory" to me.  :D

Something like that might make a good background for the EX main menu.

its HDR
this map got specific hdr settings which manages such glowing because there is places where you dont have to see the skies
And this effect works with HDR turned on so i dont think that it would be good as bg map but maybe as bg image

but we can get similar effect with func_illusionary and again we have to have a good pc to see such stuff

UPDATE
The nids spawn

gameplay beta for you guys
any bug / shit / balance issue should be posted here
ex_mission is not working right so mission description is not working at all

here is screenshots of what was changed in one album
http://img851.imageshack.us/g/exhivecitygpbeta010000.jpg/

OK, the problem with the translations is because you included the "_english.txt" bit in the ex_gameplay translation file property (the ".txt" is taken for granted and the "_english" depends on what language the client has set in steam). 

When I changed the name of your translation file to match the full name of the map and reloaded, the mission text appeared (this is the default it falls back to if the translation file from ex_gameplay cannot be loaded).

Take care wording your missions, the midway missions (Green room and Generator) can be captured in either order (the larger hallways toward the reactor actually guides the nids towards that one first).

You should also add some tokens for your objective names, like so:
   "Space marines land spot" "Landing Gantry"
   "Swarm nest" "Tyranic infestation"
   "palace" "Govenor's Palace"

I think I need to write a new page in the manual, just to cover this properly :/

Thank you very much , now i see what was wrong and now its fixed

here the gameplay beta03 which can be run on servers i think
this map needed to be tested in gameplay now

here is link to download
http://www.easy-share.com/1914423870/ex_hivecity_beta03.rar

and performance , i really worry about that , does anyone got lags? problems on the map?

Just awesome. As if you could read my mind the map is pure win, you should hovewer get rid of those TF2 and HL2 poster and put some 40k art in instead...

i have to find an artis with awesome arts who will give me permission to use them
i cant use GW's arts because of copyright and some random arts because of it

<3333 the toilet :D

btw. are marines authorized to open the 2 doors between spawnnid and lastcaptureroom?

only after nids captured generators and sewers
in that case marines and nids can enter palace
i blocked this door so marine players wouldn't run there in first place and then get screwed by nids really fast

fuck it , no feedback - last update with source
i was thinkin to do that after final release , but....this is my final

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=D1LGRFXV

We had a bit of a test today.  Not so much an actual game on this map, but we did find some oddities:

Carnifexs get stuck in the red water room of the sewers ( http://steamcommunity.com/id/chromeangel/screenshot/576668995835479524 ).

I got a report of a player getting loads of points for capping the sewer objective.  Did you add an ex_award in there to boost the normal reward for capping objectives?  (BTW the nids got there before I got as far as the ladders to the green room.  I think it needs moving closer to the marine spawn).

thats odd
that what i wanted to know
about points - yes i do

oh and I heard some (random?) marine sounds being played near the sewer objective.  What's the deal with that?

well , its too loud sounds of easter egg
the door in the corridor for marines , which near generator exit , can be opened by shooting in control panel of the door
