Well...in a way...yes you can! If you have the 3d model, then you can import it into the game and set it as a model. Then you set the model to be the actor for a unit or item. That's how most ppl do it! :D
Kinda sucks when he doesn't update us on things. :( I want to see more of his work. It was amazing b4. I wonder if he could customize his own models and make items look like the pictures in the inventory... :O
On screenshot 1 I did what you did except I only used castanar. For combo 1 I used castanar metal and mesh. For combo 2 I used castanar grating, grid, and small tiles. For combo 3 I used castanar mesh and regular tiles. The 4th screenshot is an overview.
Hey, here's those maps. (I'll post them any moment now)
Edit: I have another map, but I'm trying to find it. And that one is the best one. Darn It!
I got it. Hopefully this one will cheer you up. 4get the polishing on those maps. Just look at the triggers.
Edit: Ugh. And if you want to see some terraining skillz, check this out. I made it for this weeks terraining excercise. It's decent, but not the best. :D
The first map has THE most triggers I've ever had in 1 game. The second is a fairly decent single player map like the one I showed you last night. The third one is my biggest breakthrough in something that I had to figure out by myself. And the last one is a terraining excercise with decent terraining and good use of mixing different paints.
Hey. I'm still currently in Highschool, but what's funny is my school is online so I'm always home. :D I might be able to have some time to devote to your map. I'm not particularly that good at the data editor. (Meaning that I learn everything I know off of other people) However, in return I'm excellent at triggers and terraining. I'm definitely a decent terrainer and I know how to do almost anything in the triggers. (Except for validators) All in all, I can be your triggers expert. (Maybe some terraining if we can't find anyone else)
Ya, once again, I'm so excited! I LOVE the bionuke. Tis (I actually meant to say "Tis") is awesome! I always wonder how you got it to be green. (Besides tinting)
Well, I kinda already said something that would fix that problem. I said "Then, we split the voters into the 2 maps randomly." I'll rephrase that so you can understand it better. We get ppl to come up with custom map ideas. Then, we can create a poll (I think that's what it's called) where ppl vote on their favorite idea. We put all those ideas we voted on and see the top 2. (Or however many you want) Then we take those and search for volunteers to join in. Then we split the ppl, who will be commited to join the contest, and the contest can begin.
Edit: Now that I think it through a little deeper, I think the best way to get the teams is as follows. If it doesn't work, then we'll do the one above.
You could also have ppl come up with ideas and have them be the team leader who basicly controls the group. If that person was just throwing out an idea, then someone else can take the map idea and lead it if they want to. Then we get a bunch of ppl to join in. The will be the "Followers" who do the leader's "Bidding". We will count up how many want to join and THEN decide how many ppl should there be per group. If it ends up stretching the maps to something like this...
Custom Map-2 ppl in group
Custom Map-2 ppl in group
Custom Map-2 ppl in group
Custom Map-2 ppl in group
Custom Map-1 person in group
...Then we may have to kick out leaders and place them as "Followers" unless they decline. If it ends up being uneven, then we may have to decide which map would take the most time to build and place those extra players on those maps.
Well, that's good news. I thought your original was nicely polished. But, I guess a brand new one from the ground up would do nicely. And, since you've already made it once, it may be much easier to do it again in a new way. Hope to see a video preview soon! :D
Edit: Something I noticed b4 was that the game suddenly reminded me of something, but I couldn't put my finger on it. This game reminds me of CTF games I've seen b4. Exact type of thing except it yous definitely looks better lol. :D
Lol, I never look at the forums list so I wouldn't know lol. :D I just look at home. Ok I'll put up my favs. I'm sorta new to this so don't blame me ok? :D
Another possibility is cutting your original vid shorter. (If you know how atleast) Try cutting parts that you don't need, such as parts where you're not doing anything, or you're busy with setting up your plants and you've already shown how to do that. See if you can't do that. If not, then you might want to upload it overnight when you're not using your computer.

@nevjmac: Go
I have something that might give you some ideas.
On screenshot 1 I did what you did except I only used castanar. For combo 1 I used castanar metal and mesh. For combo 2 I used castanar grating, grid, and small tiles. For combo 3 I used castanar mesh and regular tiles. The 4th screenshot is an overview.
