I released an alpha of this map a long time ago. I've been working on it again, and here are some shots of the updated version. I'm still working out a few bugs and developing other custom aspects for it before a beta will be ready for testing.

Let me know what you think.

Some of the texturing needs work, but good job so far!


BTW, in pic #3, that is one HUGE ladder.

thanks for you comments. I will be looking for beta testers in the next little while. I'm still working out some odd parts and some of the uv'ing, along with reskinning some or all the vehicles and maybe the weapons. I'm also building custom objects, such as trees and other things.

If anyone could point out a good tutorial on making the elite sword it would be helpful. If anyone knows how to restrict the "water" to the area directly under the lake as opposed to being spread through the whole level, that would be helpful as well.

Thanks again

beta tester

Let me know what you think. If any of you know how to restrain fog planes within a certain area that would also be helpful.

Thanks

Wow, it's looking so good. You might want to work on the texturing inside the tunnels and the blue abyss. But it looks promising. When do you think it will be done?

The layout of terrain objects is likely to change as I make more of them. In these one's you can see baby tree, papa rock, and momma rock.
