Are you joking? Not to be rude or anything, but obviously Challenger created it for HIS lot, that is the point of a personal lot, after all :|

Lol, sorry - what Taivyx said.

I finished texturing the interior; I'll take more pictures and a video or two of it ingame.

Well, we haven't seen any DMI lot buildings for a while; here's a new one.
It's currently untextured, and it's not completely done, but shouldn't take too long to finish.

Just so you know, there is an interior.

Yeah, when it's ingame, there should be fliers on top and speeders on the bottome of the ramp to speed up the ascent. But right now, the textures are unfixably stretched in some spots :(

Yeah I get that a lot. The only way to fix it is to re-uv map the afflicted polygons separately. I've also noticed that large building models are hard to maintain due to their scale. It just takes too much to export them, and when you do there are too many possible errors. In the reincarnated DMI, I plan to make modular building parts IE like "LEGOs" where floors, building, and roofs all interlock togther. This allows for more flexability in design as well as reliability (although it pushes the object count).

Well, believe it or not, it's not very large, only around 888 tris. It's just around 200m tall.

Probably will push it over the top, imagine how many objects would make each building, then multiply it by about 10 people who will be using those objects.
The object count was already conceptually near the limit, and I think that would push it over.

Indeed.

Hey, Rep, when do you think you'll send out the beta? I know you still have to finish up Battle Arena and beta it, but do you have an estimation?

Looks great, but where's everyone else's stuff? (I'm not talking to Rep, but everyone else who said "I'm almost done just give me another month.") It's been like six months, and the city looks a little lonely.

I have received about 10 or more other lots from people, but most are not tall enough to rise above that hill.

Well, there's actually not much to do in it yet. I'm going to wait till after the reincarnation to make sure everything is organized and stable. A vague sides layout is in place, with units ranging from smugglers to jedi, all eventually being unlockable as a part of the level-up system. (how to gain points to level-up I still don't know yet).
