Hello

It looks very nice.

just that i note - i still haven't and won't quit this project,
i wiped out most of map bugs, and made the alpha transparency done:


note that the light transparency is not renderer bug but map file bug.

that looks great! the only bad bit is the stairs dont look like there going up

Lookin' good so far.

A small suggestion would be to actually make the stairs 3D too. It might help with the problem of stairs looking like they are going in the direction of which they are actually going.

Keep up the good work.

no way - i can't make the stairs modelled - its the map limit and
limit of the map system.

If the map engine doesn't - modify the texture.. at the top the stairs are bright (like on the screenshot) and at the bottom more dark. The 103fps screenshot shows a similar effect.. A thin spray layer with dark colour or a simple darkening filter can help.

keep on working !

are the stairs on a slope tile?

Bump mapping somehow can help. You should think about lightining system in your game.

Well how small is this limit and can it be 'up'ed? Heck I've seen alot of other engines with a much more complex amount of polygons being used. And they handled well on my old 566 Celeron w/ 128MB of RAM. ie. Quake 1.

It just seems that stairs are big enough to make a rather signifigant effect if included in the 'real' 3D effect.
