aha, so you did try out the negative y-coord hack structure thing =)

i think it's a good model, but that the exhaust shafts (smoke stacks, or whatever you want to call them) would benefit from having the interior of the shaft partially rendered -- as in using inner polys instead of just a black cap.

also, how are you going to change the texturing of player buildings, or the texturing of destroyable non-player buildings (probably considered features by the engine) to distinguish them, if at all?

:o

my only complaint is that the buildings aren't shadowed.

Do you have plans on adding shadows to them?  How long until that is done?  A week?

I agree with terminator on the oil derrick.
I was just thinking the oil derrick shouldn't be left out =)

An unmoveable derrick is nice but then it needs at least some effect like smoke or lights.
I don't think the derrick sound should be cutted out, but replaced by something less annoying.

A derrick that doesn't move is not an oil derrick.

Once again, I have to agree with Terminator on this one.
He marks a good point, the game has cyborgs, synaptics link technology and a lot more but still is using old derricks.
No wonder they have trouble getting resources for the tech =)

Also, since warzone is high tech future, I believe it gives GrimMoroe more freedom to bring up new GFX and use more of his imagination instead of being restricted to imitating warzone GFX or real life stuff.
