Kai finally got around to place jayr’s fantastic castle on the mason map.
Now people can start exploring the castle, and we can get started adding some gameplay.
Castle defence anyone?
Further screenshots of the castle, which should be included in the next cyphesis release, can be found at:

Worldforge media SVN has long contained a category named \resources\texture_base
This section has now been vastly increased by the addition of imagery from north-western Europe, including lots of midieval-style buildings. Some imagery concerning plants and animal life has also be added. The imagery has been taken with texture production in mind, and it it is [...]
It has taken a lot of mangling, bug fixing, and even some new features, but I have finally got xrenmilay’s excellent keep model into the system. Here is a view in sear of the keep placed in a quiet valley in Moraf, just to the east of the pig sty.
There are still some client bugs [...]
I guess you guys already found the keep model. I was going to post on Monday but today will work. This model builds on everthing that I have done. Same textures, dimension, same doors etc.
Keep model is located here. I have uploaded Ogre xml files as well as a md3 file.
The keep textures are located [...]
The house model is complete using the WorldForge template type of system. Additional content such as doors and two shutters supplied with this model as well.

Exported the goblin out of Blender 2.3. I added a couple of animations, a run and a taunt. The plan for this model is to clean it up when I bring it into Blender 2.41. This is going to happen when the Cal3D or the OGRE scripts are fixed. Currently neither of [...]
With the new IK System from Blender, the animation process has become much easier. The new rig also helps because of the automation contraints. I also went ahead and gave the hands a full set of fingers because I am seeing this in many commercial games. The current animations that you see are going [...]
A problem slowing the creation of maps is that there are no easy to use tools for doing it. There is a building editor in Ember, and although it is quite flexible, it is not yet very intuitive to use, and operates on a quite detailed level.
So here’s a suggestion for a very simple [...]
A castle project has been initiated in to production. The goal of the project is to create a large immersive castle world. The castle will contain everything from the royal court, servants living quarters to armory, keep, shops, inn, smithing, the list is exhaustive.
