I think I found a piece of path from Plantation House at the begining of Industrial Jungle.

You'd have to ask Phil Salas about that, I guess...

I think they just added 5 different terrain objects like that to place them much faster

This level got a nice big walkthrough, I was quite pleased. Sadly I am confident this is the most we will ever hear or see of PH - I don't think anyone will manage to recreate it. If more betas surface, though, we shall see.

Btw, I think this could be from the PH-stretch of the monorail:
http://trescom.org/index.php?page=image&id=69

The PH level map texture from IJ 96 shows a certain green color as the base, which is virtually identical to the pure-green mipmap generated by TresEd when flying high above IJ 96 which still uses the moss-mud terrain base. You can see in this screenshot that the moss-mud texture is used. And this spot doesn't seem to quite fit with any JR positions.. There are other unidentified jungle-area images with no distinguishing features other than foliage and terrain that could be PH as well.

Sorry to disappoint you, but I located the coordinates for that place in the picture somewhere in JR long ago...

Sounds vaguely familiar.. I kinda recall seeing something like that in the old Concept Art gallery and disagreeing.. but I won't pick it apart further.

Gods, I forgot to stay out of these things. I did not even check if it was one of the images I previously disagreed with. It's fine.

SUGGESTION! the walkthroughs are on the news page, would it make sense to post them somewhere where in future we won't have to root through archives for them too? like in the walkthroughs section, ok I know they're not relavent for the retail but just an idea
post something intelligent before I go insane from a combination of exhaustion and boredom

Hmmm... right, they will get archived. Maybe they can be turned into "Articles" instead of "News"...
