this is beautiful but for what reason you added this turtorial??? :-/ 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??

[Gizzy]

I'll follow the tutorial later, at a mate's atm but it look interesting

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

That tutorial sounds awfuly similar like something found on other site....forgot what it was.

Anyway hi Whirl, didn't see you anywhere for a long time, lol!

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 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.
