Hello everyone. It's been far too long since I visited this forum, and touched the Spark editor in general. I should have been working on this map for over 2 years now but didn't have any motivation or incentive to do it properly until now.
I am currently building a NS2 map called Mineral(based on what used to be ns_crude_b3, and ns2_crude(never released)) and have released the first alpha version of it on Steam Workshop. What I would like is if people were interested in looking at the map, playing it in 6vs6 settings and all the standard see if there are bugs and such. If the games are streamed as well that is a huge bonus as I can watch what is going on in the games. Anything helps!
This is a university project for me this year as well so any help and feedback I can get is worth a lot to me. I am aiming to have the map fully playable and balanced for competitive by the end of the project's course. Any visual detail in the map will be a bonus, but I am sure I can make at least some rooms pretty before I "run out of time". The map will continue development even if the uni project ends. Right now it is only grey floors and developer textures on the walls. Everything technical is working fine so the map should be fully playable. There is currently no occlusion geometry as I didn't think it would be needed for such a low level of detail.
Current layout:

Marine start is always in Surface Access and aliens can start in Drill Site or Mineral Tanks.
I've already had Maxamus from Gorge Busters put it up on their server and have been allowed to do 6vs6 testing there. Pelargir will be adding the map to the 2hrslater and NSL Match Lyon servers. So a huge thank you for that! If any other server operators or teams/players would like to test the map and give me constructive criticism that would be sweet!
Here is the workshop link for the mod:

And the mod ID is "d87397" for server admins wanting to get it up an working quickly.
Any feedback about the map can be posted in this thread, or sent to the level's email address ns2mineralfeedback [at] live.com
Anything you guys can think of is of help to me in developing this map and I'd like to thank you in advance for any effort towards providing feedback!
