Some of you may remember this level... I started it for the original JKA pack, but it had a few problems which were best dealt with by starting from scratch. Which I started to do for the second JKA pack which never came about, and I've dusted it off and am continuing it for the new attempt to make another JKA pack.




That's the upper part of the arena mostly done archi-wise. The lower half of the arena is visible as a cross section, as is the observation area that will sit between them. The pipes up the centre will be thrust pipes to take you from the lower half to the upper half, and you can see where one of the pipes back down will re-enter the lower arena.

excellent

my jove!

if(getThingFlags(source) & 0x8){
  do her}
elseif(getThingFlags(source) & 0x4){
  do other babe}
else{
  do a dude}

Looks like the master cylinder on my old Ford LTD...

i see dflt.mat, nice level

i like the lower stuff, but you need some obstacles of some sort for the dueling area, otherwise it'll get boring rather fast.

Someone used plug-ins! Nice work!

Um, is that a compliment? :p


Agreed, I'm not entirely sure what to put up there. The previous version had ledges to jump on and off:



Actually, no. It was created with a slightly modified Perfect Polygons technique. It would probably have been considerably quicker to create with a plugin though...

Wait.. I thought Perfect Polygons WAS a plug-in? Or am I severely mistaken?

Now I think about it, there may be a plugin called Perfect Polygons, but it is also a technique that is done by hand:

There are quite a few tutorials on Massassi that use some variant of this technique. I can't edit without it. I love to make my rooms mathematically perfect

And of course the pipes were created using http://www.massassi.net/tutorials/perfect_pipes/

yes, still dflt.mat I'm afraid

That will certainly be a pain to texture, but overall, very, very nice work! I couldn't imagine doing all that by hand.

Btw, have you heard about the rules for this contest? Is there even going to be a contest?
