This may sound weird, but it would be nice to make mapmodels part of the ground, that's probably the best way to explain it. I thought about making a tree house, where the tree is the house, so I thought, if I could use a resized tree mapmodel, change it to editable material, then voila! I'm done. Make sense?

I just remembered something else: make materials like water and glass changeable, so you can make a glass ramp, or a water-covered planet. (Using heightmap mode or whatever on materials, or the middle scroll wheel/button)

We need boat mapmodels. Sailboat, cruise ship, Mark Twain-era kinda steamer. (Maybe we can have transportation races, e.g. Kartmode, Boatmode, Airplanemode, etc)

I really hope this doesn't go against any of John Siar's stuff, but it'd be cool to make a Skittles bag of RCs. If you don't get the analogy, get RCs in every color of the rainbow, plus neutrals gray, white, brown, black and other varying shades. That way, if someone made an Atlantis map, you could have light green RCs for the people, as opposed to, say, regular red/blue/yellow/pink RCs for above water peoples. Get it? Maybe Mike could arrange something like that with Siar.

Well... Hopefully my recently developed "Autosave" Feature will be added to 2.5.1 and, as you know, its incredibly useful

Hmmm... I'll think about that. But still, if we had the playermodel as our regular Red, Blue, Yellow, Pink RCs and the Atlantean RCs as like a light green, that'd be cool. That way, the player would be "tanned" from being exposed to the sun aboveground as opposed to the Atlanteans, who wouldn't get a ton of sunlight coming their way. So, next time you see Mike, Offtools, or Obsid (maybe), ask them if they can get to John Siar for the new-colored RCs. If you read the license, it says...
  • Platinum Arts has the exclusive license to use this included artistic content. If you wish to use these models in your own project independant of Platinum Arts Sandbox then you need to get permission from the author John A. Siar.

    Platinum Arts has the sole right, besides the author, John A. Siar, to ALTER, use, and distribute all content presented to them by
    the author for use in Platinum Arts Sandbox and any non-commercial projects related to the Platinum Arts Sandbox.
    The list includes, but is not limited to;

    all animation .md3 files presented by the author
    native gimp .xcf files for use in texture creation
    configuration files for animation
    skins and textures
So, anyways, what do you think a black RC would be like? A ninja RC??? :lol:
Also, what if we did this with almost every mapmodel?? Green jumppads, alien-like fish, shadow ogres (sorry, I don't have MCO, don't know what the Shadow Ogre Chef looks like), pink bananas, etc...
