The black hill mansion

[samuncle]

I have added a new area in the track The black hill's mansion. A dark swamp with some nice effect like bug flying around and a little hut.



I have also add more object in the mansion. Now the chimney has fire inside and the stove is textured.


Todo: Add the ghost from the previous crescent crossing and a water splash in the little pond (under the bridge)

What about you add an arrow in the pit (to the right of your second shot) showing that you must go to the left. It was never obvious enough to me.

This .zip contains The Twins work on the track. It is of course out of date. You can borrow the arrow out of it if you want. Sorry that I can't send the arrow by it's self. By the way the arrow is made of blood.

Thank for the idea and the texture but unfortunately I can't accept the texture. It's not very good sorry.

But I you want to make a beautiful arrow I can include it. When I say beautiful I say professional and in the spirit of the track (halloween).

I'm thinking how I can add arrow in halloween theme. I have already tested some concept. Like a jack'O'lantern with an arrow instead a monster face.

[Hero]

You COULD have ghost arrows. But they should move a bit.

Oh and I'm not offended. It's not my texture.

Some new pictures

[RaceAce]

Wow, it looks a LOT better than Crescent Crossing! Good job!

[Hero]

There's a slight problem in reverse mode. You can't get onto the platform. You need to add a ramp from that end.

[samuncle]

Thank you. I will correct this soon.

I cannot load the Blackhill Mansion track, it crashes during loading. I can load all other tracks fine.

I tried the current versions of supertuxkart (SVN 11810) and irrlicht (SVN 4339) on Ubuntu Linux 12.10 (with downgraded X Server to run the legacy fglrx driver). The error messages and stack trace indicates some problem with a texture:

[Irrlicht Warning] PNG warning: Interlace handling should be turned on when using png_read_image
[Irrlicht Error] PNG fatal error: bad adaptive filter value
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Yes I've had the same issue. It would be much easier if we found what particular texture is the culprit, but otherwise I guess batch-resaving all textures should do the trick.

[enz]

This issue seems to have been fixed now. Blackhill Mansion loads fine on my computer (tested with SVN 11847).

[Arthur]

Yep, tested until I found the problematic texture and fixed it just in time for the alpha.
