Now move the Red Builder Brush back To origin
and select Vertex Editing Mode

It should then look like this:

Now do the same thing to the rest of the sides:

Now we will make our island good looking,select the vertices on the sides using the top viewport like so and move them foward

http://www.flickr.com/photos/52881792@N04/4877093370/

Now do the same thing to the rest of the sides:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/52881792@N04/4877095472/

Now we have a better looking  island,but it looks flat at the bottom so we go into Camera Movement Mode and select the 4 vertices at the bottom and move them down.
Note:you can only select one vertex at a time.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/52881792@N04/4876747539/

Now click the Add Button

Now we have our island,But were not finished yet!

Now select a texture on the brush and press and hold SHIFT and B(This will select all textures on the brush)
now press F5 to bring up the surface properties and click "Alignment"Tab and then click on "Wall Direction"

http://www.flickr.com/photos/52881792@N04/4876782515/

Now select a texture on the top of the brush and press and holds SHIFT and F(This will select all the textures on the top)now go back to your surface properties and click "Align to Floor"

this is beautiful but for what reason you added this turtorial??? Undecided The floating island could be made from every brush or could be copyed from levels like SkyTown. I don't see that could be a mover brush so why you putted this topic?? Roll Eyes

Indeed, it's quite the common knowledge. It could be a non-floating island just as well.

Thank you. I've been under the radar for a few years now due to personal reasons. I'm back though, and trying to catch up on what I've missed. I'm just done fixing up Zephon to version 2.0, you can find the thread on UnrealSP.org if you wish. Will release it tomorrow Smiley My first contribution after about 3 years.

Will the new version have different mapnames? You know, to avoid mismatches and stuff, or is it the same? You could name the maps as v20 or something. Two servers run 120 actually.
