| There is one thing they left out. RUBBER BANDS are in the rope editor as number 0! I dont think they have any textures, though, meaning they are invisible, but I am still experimenting with them... |
Thanks for that info.
Once I finish writing my Battlefield 2 review I must start on a manual for Gish as it's a fantastic game. The instructions are appaling though. I've already started taking screenshots of all the textures and block and will include a library of these in the manual, along with lots of other ideas I've been thinking of. It'll take quite a while though as I'm drugged up to the eyeballs with morphine due to breaking my back in four places following a cycling accident. So I'm asleep most of the time, lol. Still I'll eventually make a user friendly manual which I reckon will be a useful addition. I don't understand why Gish isn't available from most game outlets as it's really fun and addictive, also considering it won prizes for it's originality a few years ago.
I wonder how easy it is to make new textures and shapes. I have photoshops so I think I have the tools. I was thinking of designing an underground cave system on the lines of journey to the centre of the earth, but that'll be a project for after the manual.

As I said I'm really busy with the BF2 review right now, but will slowly get the information together to make an improved manual. I must also try my hand at level editing. It's a pity the guys who made all those excellent addon levels seem to have given up. It just takes new blood to get interest going again. We shall see.
(I was hit from behind by a speeding car while cycling to work. They were racing onto the motorway which I just happened to be approaching. Man I flew god knows how many meters. I remember thinking to my self while I was still airborne: "Ow that hurt....pause...damn I'm going to get run over when I land"... so you can imagine i would have gone a fair way. Anyway I'm still alive and I didn't lose the use of my legs thankfully, but the pain is unbearable at times. Hence the morphine)
