Shorah everyone! It's been awhile since anything has done with this project publicly and I look forward to hearing feedback and hopefully getting some help to move things along.
For the past few years since discussion (and interest) seems to have died down, Lontahv and I have been working on this via PM. Things went well for awhile, but now it is in a rut yet again. Lon unfortunately does not have the time to work on this project extensively, so I have been attempting to move things along. However my skill level has been severely lacking in the areas that most need progress.
For this reason I have decided that things should go completely public. Considering it began as a team effort, it is only fitting that it continues as such. To that end, the Age and Blend file are being released.
But first, here's what needs to be done. The island is to be enlarged. I originally attempted to do so by scaling the existing island to be larger, and that seems to be moderately effective, but the problem lies in making sure all of the trees are placed on the ground where they belong, and not floating.
Here's the island at it's original size:
As you can see the trees all seem to be at ground level where they belong
Here however the trees are no longer lined up and getting them so is next to impossible. I was hoping then that someone might be able to lend a hand, or may have a better alternative to my method of enlarging the island. This is the first and most important task that needs to be done, because it will give us something to build on.
I've found that the island does not export properly without the PyPRP plugin Lon used to make it. Although it may be outdated, using the current plugin makes the trees look all black. Here's the files: (this includes the age files, and the Island and Glass hut blendfiles)
