TBG/Freebuild: Status Update

Mods are painfully simple to make, distribute and install (we even have the starts of a dependency system!!!), and we really think people are going to have fun making mods this time around, rather than begrudgingly trying to copy and paste files and make sure things don't overwrite each other and break each other.

Right now I would love to see some more modern types of maps, with modern looking buildings, lots of little details and whatnot. Kind of like Feedback's new map, a new look for a new game.

The engine can certainly handle larger terrain sizes, and more bricks. You will have to ask elfprince about more specific things, however. That's not my area per say.

Awesome, I'd really like to see those too. Personally I prefer landscape maps with few to no preexisting structures for freebuilding, but I find building within the kind of map you describe fun too. Of course, the latter are infinitely superior for DMs.

I have a request/question about the repeating of the terrain, would it be too much trouble to make the system load different maps for different areas?

Realtime landscape-cast shadows? Subgrid-resolution particle emitter luminance? Count me in! Very Happy

OH GODS MY EYES, THE GOGGLES, THEY DO NOTHING!

But seriously, why THAT fire particle?

because I'm not a particle artist, and it was available?

All that remains for *this* base is the dragon-head turret outside the main gate and adding the door-manipulation script. Also, the portcullis-y thing. But none of those are interiors, so it should go a bit faster. Also, I now have a fairly significant pile of prefabs for constructing lego-ish things in Constructor, which should make the other base go a little faster. Also, I finished all the terraforming and skyscaping today.

Nice castle there, elfprince, I like how this map is looking. It's inspiring more and more that I want to work on a map or two of my own. Smile
