Very moody. Very dark. Good stuff! :thumb:

As an aside, did you come across my old city map based on T1/T2?

Thanks for the kind words! Finally getting back into editing (been pretty busy with work lately) but now I'm having a blast making this level. I have storyline, plot all worked out, I have 80% of the maps (there are 2) ... just have to worry about all the scripting ... I get the feeling that isn't going to be so much fun :erg:
Scumble: I used the final version of your map extensively when I started mapping ... but the only ones I could find on the net are so small you can't read the text. Do you still have the full size one kicking around your hard disk? I'd like to compare your placement of some of the T1\T2 sites with ours.

Just for the record, my freezer technique link was purely for amusement purposes! The correct way seems to be to put it in a sealed plastic bag and stick it in the freezer for about an hour, then connect the drive up immediately after you take it out. Won't do any harm, and certainly worth a shot before taking the drive apart.
Should have known this a few months before. By now I have everything reinstalled. At least I didn't loose and irreplacable data, but this was the second Quantum HD that died on me in about two years. No other HD ever did this to me.

Will you let me go now?
Will you stop torturing me?
I told them what you wanted me to tell them, so can I go now?
What are you doing with that Burrick? No! NOOOO!

I'm reworking my mission from the ground up! The space I was using was far too large so I've had to chop it up (even more).
I'm struggling with the cave meshes atm - although they are made to fit together if you want to make a custom space you sometimes expose the "wooden supports" behind them and in game that part of the mesh is invisible so you can see through it. I'm trying to work around it but I don't want to end up in the land of a thousand meshes.

This is frustrating, I want to post screenshots but the entries for Komag's contest must remain secret. I cannot divulge any information (well, and it makes me work harder to figure things out for myself. So I don't give too much away asking questions in the newbie thread.) No matter how much you torture me...
OK, Garret is 20 feet tall, and he can fly, but that's all I will say.

:wot:
You're not serious, I assume. :sweat:
Though that would be pretty cool. I mean, check out the coolness factors here people:
- Garrett = cool
- Flying = cool
- 20 feet tall = cool
- 20-foot tall flying Garrett = double plus cool!
I don't know if I'm going to get my mission finished... I keep getting distracted by other things. Which is very typical of me. :erg:

Heh. No, I had to pick something I wouldn't want to end up doing for Komag's contest, and with the small size, a 20 foot Garret would be very cramped.
But once this contest is over I have a bunch of things I want to try in different levels. I'd just better focus on one at a time.
