This is awesome, sorry I have been away with other commitments (uni study), if it weren't for my studies, I would've wanted to add something myself.

I'm gonna follow the progress of this one

Okay, version 0.5 is up. There was a serious regression with the crystal cave on the 3rd island: the walls are now invisible from the inside. Any chance of getting that fixed? I really liked that cave.

The normals probably got flipped; just go into edit mode, with the cave selected. Then hit space > Edit > Normals > Flip. That should fix it :D

Ah yes, or perhaps it needs to be set to double-sided. Perhaps Ametist can give a quick try to fix it!

I just did that, Justin, but it doesn't help. Now the texture is only inside the hut. I had this problem before. Although the object with the twoside texture shows right in Blender, after the export only one side is textured. :?: :?: :?:

Hi Dustin, you were faster. Well, as you see I have no idea how to fix that. Maybe someone else here?

Many thanks, Dustin! Whoa! Megaupdate! Ametist and Bob have sure been busy, along with diafero.. :9

I have to admit I am aware of the issue with the geodesic dome, but released the age as-is anyway. For some reason I was unable to get the faces back to twosided. I considered temporarily making a normal-inverted duplicate of the dome, for the inside, but chose to wait and see whether I can fix it "properly" before the next release instead, since I figured few people manages to get there (read: /me lazy :P).


(My phone line has been moved now, by the way, with ADSL ca. eight days pending, but it seems I can still use the DSL from my old home, despite the reassigned phone - never expected that - maybe, good people, you'll have to endure my presence uninterrupted after all... :7 )

EDIT: Ah, two new posts, while I wrote this.. :D I'll try to sort the thing out for the next release - probably I'll add a proper inside, so that we get some wall thickness too. :7

Hello all

I'm back and very happy to see Relltoo in the UAM. You all make very nice changes to the age.
I don't know what happened to my cave on Tower3, but in the version 0.4 it was ok. So perhaps you can delete it and put in that one from version 0.4 with append or link.

Wb, Perlenstern. Your proposal worked. :)

I still would like to know why this sometimes happens to twosided textures.

Justin, I like your cave. It's a good place to stay to recover your eyes from seeing pink. :lol:

I really have to learn to make lightmaps.

I'll take a look at that issue with 'two-sided textures' and see if I can work something out. Tomorrow will be the 'working-day' ;) , haven't had time to even visit the latest build yet but I'm sure it's better than ever! 8-) (@Corvus: agree with you, maybe we have to put a pile of sunglasses for free use near the link-in-point :D )
