I, rather suddenly, have begun to do some Trespasser modding again! "Carnivores" has worn me out.
What I hope to do is to build off of the Lab and Pine Valley levels, to smooth the rather awful transitions from the Town level to Ascent One. The Lab level will have more changes than the Pine Valley one (which will have more bug fixes than actual new content), with whole new areas and new puzzles.
I'm starting with the Lab level, and I've already begun working on it. For the Lab, I'm changing the starting position to the top of a more valley-like area (Pine Valley will be changed accordingly), and adding extra facilities in and around the vanilla area. The main, new puzzle revolves around this line: "As we left, we vandalized our own locking mechanisms. InGen tolerates no trespassers." Well, what doesn't make a whole lot of sense is that most of the locking mechanisms (keycards, etc.) are completely functional. So, for the Lab, you're going to have to trip circuit breakers (might as well uses hppav's from JP1) (with power lines coming from where PV would be) in order to power card readers, and eventually the actual Cray supercomputer itself (which would of had no power if all the circuit breakers were off).
What I've done with the Lab so far:
Beginning area:
Then the player goes through this tunnel:
Into this new harbor-ish area:
And then finally to where the level originally began (previous circuit breakers would have to be active to open the gate). There's also a path to the actual Lab area itself:
I might also add some additional places past the warehouses.
Of course, there's still a lot to be put in (most noticeably the plants and rocks, which is actually the easiest part), but it will get in there.
Let the replies ensue!
