Ooh yes that IS a lot better.

*Grabs it*

I'll set up the PCX for myself, I need to put some tags on there anyway. I'll upload a picture when I'm done. Meanwhile, are you planning to make the other maps in a similar style?

If you make a map of SS02, don't put the apartments on there since only two apartments exist in the map :)

I do plan on doing the rest in the same style, I've already applied the texture to the first section and it looks ok, I need to put the doors on that too but I'll model the other sections first then upload them all at once.

I think the red lines should be thinner

Thank you for your suggestion but they are currently 2 pixels wide, and if I make them 1 pixel, they don't anti-alias properly and the slanted parts look like crap :)

Hmm it's like something's missing. It doesn't look quite as cool as before?

How does it look if you don't move the upper floors apart from the rest?

Thank you for your input, but I strongly disagree. End of discussion.

How's this? I've changed the angle a bit and in the second image I made it more transparent.

That IS better but does it look too confusing if you simply show it like it is? Without moving the upper levels apart? I like the lower image best :P

Yeah sorry, I forgot to say, if I show it like it is in game you won't be able to make out the different levels very well. I know doing it this way isn't ideal but it's the best it going to be imo.

Hrrrrrrrrm. Alright! I'll take your word for it! You are le artíste, after all. I'm gonna throw on some arrows and pull it in-game then :)

Good job, did I mention that? Good job.
