ORKVALE - Stronghold - Preorders

Howdy,
I was just putting all the stuff together from my old Mapping Kit project (tutorials + source files + app to walk around and see w your own eyes). But since i work alone I'd like some kind of feedback for this; As I mentioned here some time ago this will be some kind of live tutorial with all the files and lessons in it; with the power of tge 1.4 my work suddenly took a fast curve and i am almost finished; please take a look at the shots and give some feedback on how you might want it; :)
Note that this Demo level keeps the architecture of the old Stronghold intact, only the level design and modeling and prop placement and such are others; Mapping Kit comes with a few mapping solutions (like collisions for outdoor structures made inside World Editor);
Thank you !
and some models currently in the Demo Map:

Perhaps I shall post it to TDN as well :)
note: what you see above is a two evenings' work (as much as i could get, because time is a problem these days; indie days in particular :)

I am not trying to do a better than the old one, rather i am keeping the old orktown as a refference to show off what (and in particular how) one can do with this tool (TGE); Perhaps I shall post it to TDN as well :)

Here is a litlle update with the new HUD, new Options panel and some particles (testing as we speak); I was wondering why the particles simply disappear instead of fading out; either way, one can get really nice effects with TGE particles, even without using the particle editor;Thank you all for nice words :)

:) Hope I get to finish it in time before my time off from work ends. There is a lot more to write for this resource but one night will do for this. Thank you

Excellent work, what are the odds of this making into TGE?
Love the boat BTW, thats one of the kewlest looking boats I've seen in a Torque app before.

BTW: Howd you get the options screen transparent?

Dang, forget a guide, make a game out of that :OBTW: Howd you get the options screen transparent?

No game yet:). Actualy one is pending, other projects are collecting dust on my drive; And about the transparent window just go to customProfile.cs (or defaulProfile can't remember now) and add a new value after the RGB (the new value is the alpha channel so to speak). Example: 123 221 221 125 would give a nice transparency. 123 221 221 0 would be totally invisible; 123 221 221 255 would be useless to add, since is opaque. Good luck.

WOW...This IS awsome. This really should replace the standard starter.fps. Much better and really shows off what can be accomplished with TGE.

Yummy!!!

I've always thought the starter.fps could use a kick in the pants, and it looks like you gave it one.
