Hi guys, this is metroid.
While I'm waiting for the ability to make models in Blender and export them into G3D (I have a Windows, so the Glexemel thing won't work), I have been changing around the xml files and the textures, and I made a sentry tower building, with a "tracking level 1" upgrade it can research. The sentry tower itself is pretty much a defense tower minus the attack, but plus a huge sight range (40: 4x most normal units). The tracking upgrade increases the sight of all barracks units by 5 (it's kind of hard to notice).
I'll post some screens tomorrow; what do you guys think?
By the way, could I have an object explode when it dies in a huge explosion? I tried to put some particles in the death sequence, but it didn't really work.
