Still working on the terrain model. Don't look for it anytime soon.

Ground terrain - quite a few people have popped here and there with working terrain in the FS engine... (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

I know there is a method, but all I see is madness.

Post by: No_parking on November 13, 2001, 05:23:00 am: I keep starting a city then when it comes to carrying it on something is wrong with it. Lastime it looked cool then I realised that if I made the buildings seperate sub objects I could have them being blown up. I gota get making that city again.... I made a crapy maze to fly around though, it was to small, but fun when you bounced around the walls (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/evil.gif)

Look, a FREESPACE....oh wait, No Parking :evil:
