Nice to see you guys liked. As I had a free day today I kept on working the Villa and added some more urban context to it. There's also two more 3d buildings, but just for giving the buildings texture and openings throughout the walls. I made free use of the vertex sloping thing, it's a easy and cheap way to add mass to the houses' ceilings, guaranteed to work perfectly, but not as dynamic as a longitudinal roof. Had to do tricks for the doors to work on most little houses, you'll understand once you get to see the actual map work.
PS: RambOrc is a wise guy - Right after making complex works on those two 3d buildings, I noticed that somehow while in great zoom I move ALL parent sectors 4 or 8 units, which created horrible effects when the linedefs crossed the child's ones, misaligning slope things, etc... Had a terrible time trying to correct everything, as I only noticed it in game and had closed DB by then ( = no undo). Luckly Vavoom and DB are pretty solid and accepted the fixs...
Anyway, here are the screenies from the new buildings:
Making connection with the square, only 3 buildings (the others are behind them).

A closer look of the bigger building (house of someone important), with the gallery entrance (now that I look at it, I see that I forgot to model the door and windows <!-- s:( --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad" /><!-- s:( --> )

I'll try to post the news then, if I somehow can't, I'll let you know here. <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=":wink:" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: -->
