Orbz on the Catwalk

Here are some screenshots for the buildings that I have told some of you I'm working on. Although not done yet, it's far enough along for you to get the general idea. :)

An overview of what they look like from above ground. As you can see there are stairs at the top of each building for you to go down inside.

There are four floors with the same basic design.

At the bottom, we see the tunnel going underground as well as the one doorway I have so far.

There are tunnels in each of the four buildings which connect to an underground building seen here.

For you mappers out there, here is a shot of the whole thing. All of this has been done in QuArK. I didn't place each building separately along with the ground, tunnel & building underneath in the mission editor, but chose a single .dif object & placed it on the map.

I hope you like what I've done so far. There is still one piece left for me to work on... the catwalks connecting all of these buildings together. I'm thinking right now that there could be 12 catwalks in all. Once that is done, I'll probably place a star or two somewhere on the map. ;-)

Well... even with no stars, it's very different going around inside the buildings with your orb!

Here are two more screenshots with the catwalks. I think I have everything done with this now. All that's left is to make a level out of it. I've decided to go with six catwalks.

For those of you interested, a version is now available for download. There may be minor changes to the level such as waypoints for the botz, new sky & powerups, but the buildings & star placements won't be changing.

Cheers! Keep it up Slack!

You need superb aim to get up on the walks AND hit a star at the same time. Good challenge.
Where are all the neg pups? Hehe!
