I think my Plane of Air is basically finished...

I think my Plane of Air is basically finished up at this point. I added a portal yesterday, as well as fixing some annoying shadow issues. It's looking relatively good and is at the "acceptable" level for my purposes.

The other thing I finally got working is the jump system. I had been dreading it a bit, as it involves modifying some .2da files I haven't touched before, as well as some things that looked good on paper but I'd never tested. It's rather complex, but basically works this way:

• Player clicks on a jump point.
• Player becomes cutscene invisible.
• Spell is cast from jump start to jump destination, using the tainted model (the only reason this thing works is that players can only leap when in Tainted form, which is a single model).
• The player is moved and reappears at the destination.
