    Looks great! I love that you are locating random height maps, putting them into CAW, and then creating something for TS3 out of them. That's a great idea! :-)

    Where are we going, and why am I in this hand basket?!

    Thank you!!.... after I read the tuts about heightmaps I started going to different search engines and typing in all different search terms and found that there are a TON of the greyscale height maps out there. I forget how many dozens I have downloaded and will be trying to work them into CAW to see what happens. the two or three I have converted so far have become a big challenge.

    Almost completed the landmark tomb... I cannot take any credit for the ground floor of this lot... a thank you goes out to "billygirl" on TSR for this creation. I did however create the tomb underneath. some photos (no spoilers here)

    Thanks Charlottekn I started with the moonlight falls ini then copied the "stormy" in both the ini and image files and made several copies. renamed the copies to match the other weather types so all the weather types will have the stormy look.

    flstrider - the weather is looking simply... glorious and I thank you also for your work on the tomb. Tombs are so much fun to explore, especially on rainy days. I think they add a lot to a world, if for no other reason than they give you one more think to do. :mrgreen: In my experience they beat any ST performance, hands down.

    Thanks reachsims I hope that people will find this tomb fun and somewhat challenging, I ran through it last night found a few bugs but all in all I think it will make people think a little. And I do agree with you that they be any ST performance especially ones with a bit of a challenge.

    Charlottekn, thank you so very much! Well I wish I could take the credit for the files but it was actually shown to me by auntielynds and the tutorial in the CAW FAQ thread at the top of this forum and yes I do agree with you that there are some very clever people here and are willing to help and give advice.... this is a great community!

    Not seeing any negative feedback from this world's Beta I will be releasing it to my studio this evening. I have a few final spawners to add then the world will be ready to go. I hope everyone enjoys it.
