Very nice lighthouse.

That's beautiful. Possibly the best lighthouse I've ever seen in LL.

play with the quarter tile heights a bit to clean it up, but it is very creative.

Yea, pity those glitches, but really lovely and very creative LL-lighthouse!!

Emergo

The new one's LL, right? I got confused because I didn't read that you were making a new one and wondered how you could be using that in RCT2.

Yes, the project has been restarted in LL. the two most recent screens ( The Babylonian w.i.p and Lighthouse w.i.p. ) are both LL.

update- the lighthouse is becoming a glitchy mess.



not sure if there's a better way of handling it than what i'm doing. the spiral-slide graphic likes to preempt anything in front of it, but it does so less if the thing in front is another ride. Accordingly, i've added some wooden track under the path for accent color and to help minimize glitches. it sort of worked.

Send me a PM. I'd be happy to play around with it.

But as far as I can see, make sure the rapids are at 3/4 tile height each, and raise the flat path above the maze up one quarter tile. That should clean it up some. If the chairlift doesnt cleanup the supports well enough, I know a couple other tricks that might do the job.

Glitchy!

What was wrong with it before? It was fine, but now it looks like you dropped it on it's head when it was a baby.

oh, i did.

Breast milk usually fixes that, you know.

then give it breast milk
come on, I mean think.

The Zanzibar Hotel, one of the few 'modern' buildings in Nihombasa, is a squat concrete form languishing between the shoreline and the residential section behind the old mosque. According to the poorly-phrased english brochures at the entrance counter, amenities include mattresses, electricity, and running water in private baths- though repeat visitors can tell you that what you'll find are more like suggestions of amenities. The packet goes on to state that "Here city tours are depart 4 hours daily!", though no one has ever bothered inquire further.

the ground has been changed to sand under that ground-floor window, and the missing fence put in.

looks pretty good but I would stick with one of the wall textures... either all gray or all white

the building also seems off balance somehow... maybe try a little more detail on the right side... like a cover for the path going up to the corner

I don't like the flat roofs on the bottom part of the building. It works on the top with the paths but just that texture by itself doesn't look as good.

I think the blue and the grey is a nice combination. I also like how you've done the ramp to the right of the screen. Nice work.

I love how this topic survives on random bumps.

to congratulate you, here- the old mosque.

That's just too sexy for words.

too late; you've already said some. obviously you hate it.

The only thing I'm NOT sure about it the large dome of the 3D cinema. What exactly is supposed to be going on there?
