Of course you can have a two pages long release note you always forget something :rolleyes:
Technical note:Right now the shelves don't have their textures inside their respective Prps as they are supposed to be. They all share the same textures from the Pahts_district_textures.prp. This was done for two reasons:
1) This cuts down a lot on the weight of the download. (150 identical shells Prps with each 2.1 mega of textures = 300megs...
One single prp of texture = much better
)
2) Performance ingame is much better as Uru only loads 5 textures.
If they were all in their respectives shell Prp, eventhough the textures are all identicals they'd be different files and thus they'd all be loaded in Uru.
I've tried it just to test and it takes forever to load (750 textures...) and performance isn't great; even bad (and I have a good computer by Uru's standards). The problem is that right now the way the plugin export things, everything (or almost) is loaded at first link-in and most of it is rendered all the time in Uru whether you can actually see it or not.
Now, of course one day all shells will be different and will have different textures and we will fall again on the above situation. But this day is still probably far away and hopefully we'll have better tools by then and will optimize things a bit.
(I can't wait for this day to come though.. B) )
For now this configuration works well; at least on my computer.
Could you tell me how it runs on yours?

I hope you will enjoy this new version; an number of horus have been pourred in it.[/quote] I'm not sure a number of egyptian gods have been pourred into it, an number of hours sure have been though..
[edit] Bug report #1 I've found one of the street not far from the linking point has a collision issue, make sure you walk on the sideways, they're safer. I don't understand what the issue is, since the collision fails on only one face of the model... :blink: Anyhow the collisions are still temporary (although they work fine beside this one). I still need to implement a separate collision mesh. That's still far away on my todo list though. I'll fix that one a way or another and that will do for now.

(I'm sorry about the multiple posts in a row) Here are a couple screenshots: This is the current linking point. One of the courtyards in the Blue district. Showing the largest courtyard in Blue district again (still unfinished) with the Hub in the distance -- we can see it from everywhere throughout the city. A street leading to one of the many smaller courtyards. And some overhead shots (high resolution): (these aren't so flattering IMHO because they show the unfinished work on the district walls and the poor lighting I did on the hub :ph34r: )

Unlike some forums in the community we have no problems with you multiposting or bumping a thread noone has replied to. Sometimes information needs updating and I find it silly to have to start a new thread just cause its so old or the fact noone has posted to it after your last post.

Ailaera: good, I'll remember that. Pretty darn shooglenifty if I do say so, which I just did
I'm sure that word ain't in my dictionnary, I should submit it to the guild of linguists people. In the mean time I'll take it as a compliment. Adam: How is the 'refactoring' going along? Tweek: what is the problem exactly? If you have installed other Ages manually the manipulation is exactly the same. Just extract all the Prp files in your /dat folder, and register the Age in UAM with the settings I give above, which are: Filename: pahts spawnpoint: linkinpointdefault Description (optionnal): pahts And then hit 'register link' (edit: typo)

Impressive. Have we decided on the surrounding space? I heard some good suggestions throughout various posts (i.e. gigantic forest, Space, others that my memory has trouble remembering)

An accurate description is "blah" or "barf".
