: You gotta pic of this? I think it's one of the levels
: that was shown in the first few screenshots of
: myth..not sure unless i see it, though.
Sure. Go look at ithttp://www.west.net/~forrest/landscape.jpg">here.
: Which is remarkably similar to the way it is now, just
: converting all of that data to an alpha channel, so to
: speak. Depth (in shipping) was set by the displacement
: map, with a media map defining where the actual water
: was.
No, not really. Right now, the appearance of the water is determined by the colormap. In this beta, where you want water you just put a certain key shade of blue (actually cyan, I think); then it textured it all with a rippled water texture, calculated depth with the mesh info, darkened the water texture according to the depth, and then applied the waves and reflection to it all.
: I think this was deleted in shipped
It was.
: Still in there
Not it's not; Junpier is changed to Covenant, and the Great Southern Kingdom to The Province. But I do recally something about "flight from juniper" in the tags for Flight From Covenant, so yeah, it's kind a still in there.
: Ashfear references are still in TFL somewhere, I think.
Nope, just the prerelease info.
: Whoo, this was *early*. The flavor here was featured in

: at Bagrada we see in the final game. I think. :)
Yep, I remember that screenshot. It was also on a snowy map which we never got to see other than that (and maybe a few other) screenshots.
: You'll note Llancarfan is a M2 room now. Hrrrrm. ;)
It's also the name of the palance inside Muirthemne, as mentioned on The Ibis Crown.
: Most likely there were only 100 Heron Guard. Immortality
: goes a long way. ;)
But there's more than 100 Herons seen in Myth II.
: Guesstimate here is that ce acetal was the actual home
: (?) of the journeymen, probably a place of scholars?
: Considering the beta storyline differed a good bit
: from release storyline, i'd wager that where the
: emprorer ruled from and where the herons were at were
: different.
There's also the "acit el calendar" in GURPS Myth. Drunken Ghol, or anyone who has it; care to tell us what Acit El means?
