I've decided to go ahead and share some pictures of my current project, which is a railroad depot nestled in the mountains. As of now, I only have a deathmatch version in the works, but I'm also planning on either an objective or TOW version. Here are some screenshots:

I'll use this topic to post updates and stuff, so if you like what you see (or hear), keep checking back.

If you are having trouble with the images loading, they should work if you right click and choose "view image". If that doesn't work, just copy the image link and paste it.

Thanks to everybody for their kind words!

Here are two new screenshots-

Here is a list of things that I still need to do-

-Add light to the insides of the buildings.
-Various details and trim needs to be added in a few places.
-Add Allied/Axis player starts.
-Add more trees/terrain to the outside of the depot.
-Add VIS leafgroups (So far, fps are excellent, but I'm sure they'll drop after I add in all this stuff).
-Add static models.
-Add a few ambient sounds (maybe).
-Make more detailed trains (Another maybe.)
-Relax.

I'm estimating that I should have a version that I'll feel comfortable releasing to you guys around the end of next week, so just hang tight.

yep, looking nice! Just take a look, why the rails seem to hover over the ties (if u take a look at the rails' shadows)

Axion · Post by **Axion** » Thu Feb 12, 2004 9:40 pm

Yeah, I just can't seem to scale the texture properly.

Looks like it will play well. The farplane looks kind of funny, in the high-up screenshot, because the skybox texture has no fog. But, I don't think anyone will notice at ground level.

Axion · Post by **Axion** » Thu Feb 12, 2004 10:25 pm

Nah, it's not very noticeable. But then again, if you have time to just stop and look at the sky in the middle of a game, then I didn't do my job very well.

yes, i gave it a try and all results were rather disappointing and I had no trains where the rails must fit... nevertheless, i think it might be worth to make a custom texture (without misplaced shadows).

and tom's right, the farplane is a bit strange, so try to set it as high as possible or even set no farplane, if fps allow to...
