You understand my map ????

I understand it.
interesting idea, it could work, but the two paths should be the same legnth.

I redid the road and it is a lot better and beautifuller. i think the track is good, except for the extra path which I think is ugly, bad and should be gotten rid of. what do you people think?

Hi,

this is a great improvement but there are issues :

* A camel in the road
* Shortly after the bridge, there is a sharp ugly bump in the terrain
* On the alternative path, there is an invisible quad blocking the way
* The inside of the main pyramid could look better (hieroglyphs, statues, a better texture, ...)
* The texture on the front of the pyramid is not applied smoothly, there is a cut in the texture

Auria {l Wrote}:* A camel in the road

that used to be animated. is it still? but either way, I can move it out of the way of the track
Auria {l Wrote}:* On the alternative path, there is an invisible quad blocking the way

I'm aware of that. I was wondering if maybe that path should just be removed completely?

Ah, recently in SVN animations got broken. In this case please discard my comment on the camel

should I still move it out of the path though?

and do people think I should get rid of the alternative path or do you like it?

* Shortly after the bridge, there is a sharp ugly bump in the terrain

FIXED
* On the alternative path, there is an invisible quad blocking the way

done nothing because I am not sure if we should keep it or not
* The inside of the main pyramid could look better (hieroglyphs, statues, a better texture, ...)

having trouble with it........
* The texture on the front of the pyramid is not applied smoothly, there is a cut in the texture

FIXED(I think)

I did some more work on this and it think it looks quite good.

I fixed a few random things, the additional driveline(though AI have a bit of trouble getting on it), it has a better screenshot(what do people think?), I added some statues and hieroglyphics inside the pyramid, I added my name to the author(was that okay? let me know if it's not). so I think it is good except for one bug:

it looks fine in blender though :/

A few observations :

* water is going up the waterfall
* near the base of the ramp going inside the pyramid, the sand texture is very stretched
* still an invisible wall inside the small pyramid
* ther eis still a hude cut in the bricks on the front of the big pyramid, if you go close to the wall in game by flying you can seee the wall is not straight, the polys are really not clean over there
* we need higher-resolution textures for the decorations inside the pyramid

OK more feedback. It's a nice improvement over previously iteration but...

* Still a cut in the texture of the pyramid. Actually it's not only in the texture, there are weird polygons in this mesh, the polygons of the front are not flat, they overlap

* water is still going up the waterfall
* The ground inside the pyramid is not smooth enough
* The camel doesn't move because it's not marked as an 'object' in blender

I like it! I was going to make some hieroglyphics, but if people think this would be better I will use it. what license are you releasing this under?

Does anybody else dislike the use of real-life open source logos as decoration in open source games? :)

(at least when they are 100% identical to the actual logo in shape, like for example ubuntu seems to be.
