This kitchen tools are a problem, if I set Render Alpha to 1, it looks strange: (http://hometown.aol.de/zinkchristine/images/kitchentools.jpg)

Needs a 3D hanging pots/utensils object.

Those screenshots look interesting, but I'd advise you to spend a bit more time on the building exteriors - they're looking a bit too square and blocky at the moment. What's the poly count like? Can you afford more details?

That's another problem. The poly count is very high in most of the areas, especially the areas with water. Adding more details screws up the lights/shadows or even crash the level. Shocked really don't like this kind of level, but I'm trying...

Perhaps you could enlist the help of a modeler to make some props? You might even be able to use some of the models from the (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=115493) Deep Cover archive.

I'm using some objects and textures from Deep Cover and Greenhorn is working on new objects (he did a lot of objects for Polaris, too). :)

Cool. Aggressive use of models in place of terrain detail (columns, roofs, etc) is a great technique that isn't used nearly enough in Dark Engine games.

I cannot find [SPOILER]The Maingate Access Card. I've gotten through the big doors using the door code and hardware override, near the beginning. But I can't find the card anywhere[/SPOILER]

It's in the first level: [SPOILER]search the corpses here: (http://www.zinkchristine.de/polaris-011.html)[/SPOILER]

All of the blast sites are in the former research section, which I assume is the new Body of the Many.

This series is so great, words fail me.

A bit of a cliffhanger ending, though.

Any chance of a continuation or is this the end of XT269T2?

A frivolous question, I know, but I couldn't help myself.

Thank you :D
I thought Polaris would be my last campaign, but I coudn't resist and startet a very last one... ;) :p XT269T2 should have a better ending after all he has been gone through :cheeky:
