Awesome, loaded perfectly for me now. My only issue is how small the fighting space is... it's hard to fight "properly"... other wise cool. The broken doorway was definitely my favorite part.

Lol thanks. I felt like I got lazy on the door way cause I was just reusing four different "Ruins wall" objects so I threw some bricks around and put some into the actual walls themselves to make them look less like rotated copies. And yeah, the battle space is relatively small. I could potentially just group the whole tower and scale it up a bit... That could do it.

That might be a good idea.

Is it cool if we show off this level in OGWeekly today?

Yeah that'd be awesome.
... What's OGWeekly?

Cool. Yeah, I'd love to have my level on it. Shame I won't be around to see the show, though
Do you make recordings? Or is it just a "see it when it airs" type of thing?

We post the videos on Justin.tv and on youtube, so you can check them out at your leisure.

Yeah so after that OGWeekly with my map in it, I decided to make some major changes to my battle tower level. Download at bottom of post.

-The boss battle is now much more difficult (2 wolves *Gasp!*).
-I've pretty much cut the amount of scaffolding walkways in half, yet increased their size greatly, making it much easier to climb the tower.
-Changed the wall type from an super-enlarged tile to a stretched out stucco-wall.
-To advance to the next floor you MUST cross the floor you're currently on, therefore, forcing you to fight the opponent(s) of that floor.
-Obviously, both the left and right sides of the tower are open to give the aforementioned floor-crossing necessity.
-I've added another floor, giving a total of 4 different fights.
-The top floor has been redesigned a bit with new borders
-The logs that originally held back enemies have been doubled and are more of a wall now
-Statues!
-New hole in the wall on the first floor
-Added tools and the sort to the first floor
-Everything's bigger. I literally grouped the whole tower and scaled it up a bit.

Check out the screenshots!

As you can see, I've changed the wall type, added some statues, significantly reduced the scaffolding, made both side walls open, and added a floor.

First floor has been changed a bit. New hole in the wall, and tools & backpacks. Looks like it was planned to fix the wall...

Top floor now with two wolves and stone border walls

*Note- By the time you've defeated the final two wolves, it'll probably be pretty laggy if you haven't revived yourself up to that point. So I suggest reviving everyone with X before you start the final fight so lag stay at a minimum.

Very nice tower, didn't try it yet but it's on my todo list ! Thanks for your work.

(edit)

OK, i've played it.
The tower is quite good, but i've met a problem i think : first floor empty (with the broken doors), second floor 3 rabbits, then empty, then 1 wolf then 2 wolves. I belive the 2nd is 1 rabbit, then 3rd floor with 2 rabbits, no ?

Oh, and my computer is having trouble, very low FPS when there is more then 3 IA...
Overgrowth need optimization quite soon. I think i've read not before clore to the release, but i hope i've misread that.

Need help with materials. is it possible to add an object to the OG that has material? so far i havent seen an object that has material defined in xml file. i'd like to mess around with different materials and only place where are they defined are in map file . (only DetailMaps uses materials in there)
if i add a block to the map, it dos'nt have material defined when i open map xml file.

[Black_Stormy]

The material tag is <MaterialPath> as far as I can recall, although looking through the model files I couldn't immediately find that tag. I wonder how the engine assigns materials? Maybe it reads the file path and assigns a material to each folder... Either way, try that tag.

Ok i tried this thing and it dos'nt work properly.
first it don't do enything but if i or enyone else toches my box it gives an error Material file"/Data/Materials/wood.xml" could not be found
it has cancel try again and continue. i choose continue and my box gets very very slippery and i think it dos'nt act like a woonen object should.

Edit: its so cool if you put turner and an enemy auto fight on this block. its like dancing on ice

Ok thanks for that, Tchey. I'll try to see what the problem is. And by the first floor being empty, do you mean that there aren't any objects there? Or that there isn't an enemy? (because the first floor isn't supposed to have an enemy.)
And yeah, it's strange. I seem to be getting a worse FPS with all those enemies compared to when I had it up yesterday... Idk, I'll look into it.
Edit:
Ok, it should be fixed now. I don't know what the problem was, but when I re-loaded the map, everyone was in their proper place. I'll update the original post, too.
