Re: Evolution

Here are some pictures. This is the first hole. I'm a huge CB MacDonald fan, and I like his concept of creating original holes without reinventing the wheel. So, this one is a par 5, 532 up the hill, loosely based on "Long," the 14th at St. Andrew's. This is all a work in progress. I've go...

Re: Evolution

I believe the online slang is...derp. I knew that. I'm looking forward to both courses. It's amazing the typos can that can creep in. Thanks, Bryce. At the least, you've confirmed that doodling on paper isn't a waste of time, which is what I've done a lot lately. I'll post a pic tomorrow. Letting yo...

Re: Evolution

Hey, everyone. So, I've been lurking, lol. It's cool to see that quite a few old members have come back, and are even cranking up the architect again. And I officially can't wait to play Bryce's Ultimate 18. Pine Valley 15 is my favorite hole on my favorite real life course, and I've always thought ...

Re: Land Plots

Polslad, Yeah, Shinnecock is actually fairly easy to find. As for your question about details, the answer is, most of the rolling terrain is still left up to you. The finest resolution capable is one elevation mark ever 10 meters, so the fine toothed comb is still in your hands. But the general elev...

Re: Evolution

Yeah, I'd be changing it so I'd know what version I was on. That effects the library, then? Basically, you're saying it'd work if I just kept the same library name every time?

Re: Evolution

I'm unfamiliar with compressing libraries with the course. How does that work? I also wanted to give you guys a heads up on something coming up here. In two days, Microsoft is ending support for Windows XP, which is my operating system at the current time, as my vista computer died in February. I fi...

Re: Evolution

Thanks, BZ So, the libraries are coming along. It's Saturday. Hurrah. I do have a question, though. It's about the number of libraries for a game. Most of the time I see custom libraries these days, there's between three of four new ones for that course. I'd like to make as few libraries as possible...

Re: New Project

Looks great! I do have a quick question, though. What is the distance from the tees to the shot points on either side of the tree? I'm just curious if the one closest to the green is too far a carry over the water, as 300 yards can be a long one in this game. If that's the case, how far is the appro...

Re: Evolution

Thanks. BTW, does anyone know what file type custom sound effects have to be? I know I'm not nearly that far along, but I want to start collecting things now. It'll give me something to do when the inevitable frustration with something sets in, lol. Plus, the more that's unique, the better the cours...

Re: Evolution

Hey, all So, I wanted to give you a better explanation, PGA2k-wise, to why I've been working on Pebble Beach so much, instead of Water Mill. I guess a lot of it boils down to the DEM's I've chosen, and what the course architect can and can't do. So, for Water Mills, the idea is a coastal links cours...
