Hello fellow Tomb Raider freaks. I hope I didn't offend anyone but you have to admit that's what we all are.

After having a few problems in my early days with the editor I'm so glad I've discovered this Forum. A lot of things are so much clearer to me now.

Now a question.

I'm interested to know how long it actually takes you guys to build your levels?
I have been building my first level for about a month now and I'm probably only about half finished. Maybe I'm just too picky about my designs that I keep changing things.

Also, how long would you spend each day/week on your levels?
I usually get about 9 or 10 hours a week (if I'm lucky), it would be nice to have more.

Hopefully I'll have some screenshots of my level in progress to put up here soon.

I don't spend too much time on anything. If i spend too long on one part it ends up getting changed later anyway.

Torrok,

You say it takes you about a week to make a level but I'm also interested to know how many hours (rough estimate) you actually spend on each level?

Piega,

Just checked out your screenshots from Catacomb Towers and it looks awesome. It'll be the next level I download.

I'm also wondering how you did the Waterfalls and the Water Fountain. Are they objects from the WAD you used or did you create them some other way?

The waterfalls and the founten are objects from the wad. You have to press o for the object code bit and press invisible. When triggered they will appear or you just place them to lift up your level.
