I think I've got a great idea for a level and I've already got a good start on it. But I need a bit of input. The story so far:In between adventures, Lara decides to go on a dirtbiking trip in the Painted Desert(for those that don't know, it's in Arizona).
While there, she stumbles upon a top-secret underground military base and discovers a secret that could drastically change the course of history....... What I've got done so far is the first outdoor area, with tons of high slopes and jumps perfect for the motorbike. So do you like it? Or should I change it a bit? DJ Tech ------------------

Hey TLF!Looks like it'll be right up your alley. No time travel, though. Maybe if I can get the Iris into the wad..... That would be so awesome! Gangsta- thanks for the encouragement(I can really use all I can get right about now),but I did have problems getting started on the indoors part. I had planned to have it all underground, but because there are so many slopes, I had to change it to being hidden in a wall of rock. I'm also going to use lots of techno for the level music,btw. ------------------

I agree, but I want the sas guy in my new level, and I also want people to be able to d/l and play the level easily - i.e. not have to build the wad themselves. This option is not open for DJTch7, though, because s/he is using a quad bike. Very cool sounding level! Time travel would be awesome - I'm getting ideas now...! IP: Logged |

Damn, I'm getting ideas too...
That means I'll have to spring for a better vid card to run the room editor
As an old AD&D player, I'm sort-O-partial to 'underground' settings. So this sounds really good to me. CAN'T WAIT

I've got a little more finished-I've built a hidden bike storage area and attached repair garage. I am having one prob. with lighting the outside part, though. There is one room-it's a huge sand dune-where i keep encountering the "too many lights in one room" problem.
Right now I've got it so the only light i'm using in that room is a sun.
And I am still having door problems!
The editor recognizes it as a door, but I had to place a trigger on it several squares back!
Lara won't even try to open it herself! What is the OCB for a crowbar door??????
Also, I need input for the music to put in the level. I'm looking for techno-dance type songs(Dance Raider and Raid On not included-I like them but they just don't fit).
Anyone??? Anyone????? DJ Tech BTW, I am a girl ------------------
