Still quite a lot to do but the end is in sight. This got a bit out of hand and has turned out a much bigger map than I wanted to make initially. It's about 8200 brushes at the moment. All the major areas are now in but there is still a bit more detail and tweaking that needs doing before I sort out all the gameplay, which is currently in a really early state.

Note there are a lot of funcs that are added for detail that are not visible in the shot, so some areas look rather empty. They are not, I assure you.

No proper shots for now, but here is an overview of the level. There are a couple of old shots on my temporary site here: http://than.quaddicted.com/ 

That looks really smart! Hurry up and finish! 

ASP3 looks great too :)

Halt your life please and finish it for us, you owe it!! :) 

It looks indeed very big ! Nice work: now go map and finish it please ;) 

/me loves than :) 

I will get bastardmap status anyway than 

(it really is quite remarkable isnt it ^^ ! ) 

Rad shot dude. Can't exactly get the full flavour but it's a cool way to present it. And of course we trust your mad skillz :)

Oh hey, that's a neat map idea! Very cool! 

So I think I've finally found a method of mesh deconstruction that looks like it might work in the end. It's almost there. I've tried a lot of different things and finally have this much working at least:

It's getting there. It messes up on complicated meshes still but I'm working on it!

why not mod the compilers to support meshes?
qbsp is the main problem, not the editors 

I can't find the source anywhere on your site, did you forget to upload it?

I tried that. It's harder that it appears to get QBSP to accept meshes. For me, anyway. It really, really, really wants convex shapes.

It doesn't have my latest QBSP, however. Once I figure out what I'm going to do there I'll upload it as well. 

I mean the source of ToeTag. 

How long until I'll be able to use UE3, export my level as OBJ, import into ToeTag, compile and play it in Q1?

:) 

inertia

Ahh, no, not yet. I'm not sure when would be the best time to do that. I might set it up as a download once the 2.0 release is done (which is the one I'm working on now). Maybe in a few months.

I hate you. :)

Firefox rejects it.

It's just a load of jibberish weird characters?!?! 

the url containing "session=" and nothing else, methinks speedy copy-pasted the wrong link

That's a pretty good psyhcic attack there.

Than, that looks the business.
