Several years ago a good friend of mine, justastiffy, designed one of the best customs to ever be released for TW. He passed his tca file to me so I could get it updated for the next years game but due to the massive size and point count, the file wouldn't even open in the CA. Even with the course stripped to just the plot and elevations with no structures or objects, the course file crashed.
I shelved the idea of getting this course released again and until recently haddent thought about it again.
To get this course ready for 08 I had to start over and recreate the entire plot. I tried my best to stay true to original course as possible, but due to the limitations we face now as opposed to the original release, this version is no where near that first release by stiffy.
I pushed the plot to the max and just couldn't do any more layering w/o crashing. There is a difference in the elevations and layering from the front to the back 9. Even still, I think this course is still pretty playable and fun. My biggest concern was to match his original layout and elevations as best as I was allowed and structure placement.
There is some polishing to be done but my biggest issue is the pano. The original pano is unseen on the course in the game and the bali 12 pano that's available here doesn't fit. Ive spent countless hours searching for any image I could use for a new pano and after making 7-8 new ones, I still am not happy with any of them.
If able, I will post a few pic's and several will have some of the diff pano's I have tried. Hopefully this course will be ready by the weekend.. |
