Been hard at work on Moonbase Labs, working on the 'caverns' area which features dynamic water volumes and caustics with refraction and displacement effects. It also utilises q3map2's pseudo-normalmap feature on the cavern walls.

Doing a quick bugfix for Nightfall - expect to see 1.1 up shortly! If anyone has any bugs they need fixing, tell me now!

Current changelog:

- Fixed missing patch on underside of wall by the river grate.
- Optimised and fixed a broken botroute path.
- Replaced global door scripts, doors now open 2-way and should not show buggy areaportal behaviour.
- Fixed issue where calling an unreferenced sound in icarus caused unpatched SDK mods to crash.
- Minor VIS optimisations.
- Removed misplaced brushes in some interior sections
- Added clip to some interior walls to prevent getting stuck.
- Increased quality of some models (e.g. table plates)

Have recently been working on a Doom-3 styled multiplayer map for Jedi Academy, aiming to recreate the detail and style (although not necessarily the horror aspect) using brushwork rather than textures. It will probably be a part of the Jedi Knight Galaxies Phase 1 release when it's done as it has quite small corridors for gunplay rather than force powers and little room for large jumps.
