Looks nice so far; did you get the strange fog/foliage issues worked out yet?

The foliage is all transparent.
The fog, mysteriously cuts off behind each foliage from under ~45 degrees from the horizontal, so the plants have to be either really small or the fog must go. Still not sure quite what to do there.

| That would make a great addition, elrune. It would be even better to get some really good looking terrains and hanging plants going with it. |

More specifically, it's a newer version of the Torque engine that fixes a lot of the lag and performance issues that plagued v.0002 of Blockland as well as all the mods that were built off of it.
Edit: @Sabre, awesome, what will you be writing?

28000, same as last time.
Keep in mind that we haven't done much in terms of lag reduction because we've been waiting to implement LDraw. |

Sorry, I was talking more about graphics lag than network (block transfer) lag. Didn't mean to muddy the waters there.

no I meant controlling your view. EG. moving your mouse up in ToB would make your camera rotate up.
