yush, I'm making sure gameplay is all right in a few rooms, balancing out ammo and monsters, I run through with infinite ammo and god to see how it looks first, then I run through without that stuff to test the gameplay.

Still good advice.

I've been working on this, though I'm out of ideas on how to force monsters to attack something stuck inside a sector, I'm using thing_hate, but they go after the player anyway.

This may help. For the third parameter, I think you may want either 5 or 6.

6 sounds like just what I need, thanks.

Perhaps you could use the terrain generator (zterrain) to make some underwater mountains or something? There's plenty of interesting terrain under the sea... not just mountains, but massive trenches and other formations too. So I guess that's one more suggestion for "height variations" then And fog *would* be nice too- as far as I know, it would be very unusual (perhaps impossible) to have such perfect visibility so deep underwater.
Anyway, looks promising. Keep it up

I might try using ZTerrain, but I have no clue on how to use the thing, I even have the GUI that KillingBlair made.

New screenshot, yay!

Looks pretty good.... Is it supposed to be that dark though...?

It isn't, but I'll upload a brighter screenshot later.

You mean the screenshot isn't, or the map isn't? I actually can't see the monster in the screenshot.... Still looks pretty good underwater though.

The map isn't, I just changed the brightness right after that post. ._.

I can partially see the monster, and it looks excellent as far as I can tell.

Pretty ^____^

Comments/Suggestions:

"Shadowlands" by Amethystium was playing while I read this thread. It's surprisingly fitting :O

The outside's still looking a bit bare. I'm not sure how skyboxes and horizon lines work, but you might want to add more terrain stuff...

Any plans on doing something different with recoil depending on whether you're firing underwater?

Not sure if this has already come up, but do you actually WANT weapons like the double-barrel shotgun to fire underwater?
