MAX's "Magic Kingdom" Server

Recently I was in a very strange place. It was Cranium Crater, but it was.... different.
Here are some photos of the memorable moment:
Cool eh? The most used phrase to newbies to the server was "Welcome to the Grand Canyon!" (The fogless one.)
This will be a thinktanks moment I will not soon forget.

Come on. Spit it out. I promised to host servers with that setting if you do. ;)

I'm fairly sure you could grab another copy of torque that still has the map editor (realmwars, torque demo, etc) to make new maps. Just copy over the terrain textures and whatnot so they're in the right directory. If BT hasnt removed the autodl stuff from torque, it'll probably send any new files (like the terrain) over to the clients when they join.

new MissionArea(MissionArea) {
area = "512 512 512 512"; <--------------------------
flightCeiling = "200";
flightCeilingRange = "0";
floor = "0"; <----------------------------------------
locked = "false";
When I read this thread I got suspicious about what makes us die in the fog because -Z- was either a "god or a hacker". Um...hacker cause he zeroed out the floor and made it look like he was the ultimate island hopper. Tricksies, that one is, yess!
Then I read this thread and when I read Tyler Frans' comment to Nathan it just clicked. A little expermentation and Abracadabra.
Now look at what FP has done he has done the same thing but mixed up the the elements of sky, fog and terrain as well. I messed with this too and also did some relocating of boost pads. But...I want to respect the dev team and all but it is sort of fun and a novelty for now.

Chem - your solution would crash the game. Our terrains are different than stock torque. We have 128x128 terrain block (or 64x64 for low end machines) rather than 256x256 like in torque -- all for better performance. I know what he did though (tweaked the fog plus something else).

Never change the original!!! Always use a copy!! I actually use a copy of the whole application just in case, because after all I don't really know what I am doing exactly. I'm just using intuition. And I don't want to screw up the file dates or whatever. So, please, you should all be very very cautious!! less you have to re-download the game and re-earn your UFOs.MAXCR
