You might have mine, though I have been adding about 3 or more custom objects a week hehe.
i will get everything up on the network later today...btw how did you do that screenshot?
I cant figure how you got so high in the air? That is very cool and I would love to see how some of my stuff looks from that height.
As far as map pieces not showing up that are very close to you, thats an odd issue, but check the following things:
1. Make sure there are map pieces between all placed map pieces, even if you have a hole or cliff or whatever, put the invisible dummy pieces between everything that would be left blank. If you dont have a map tile connecting the map piece youre standing on and the map piece you want to see several tiles away, it will dissappear when you try to look at it.
2. Interior pieces with floor and ceiling act really funny when you try to layer them...in other words, if you tried to build a wall that was very high by stacking the same map piece behind itself, but 5.5 meters higher, most of the time the higher pieces will dissappear. Its a shame really, I had a cool idea for a colosseum area that needed this to work but it doesnt, so I couldnt accomplish what I wanted without creating an entire new set of map pieces which I just dont feel like doing right now.
3. As for objects flickering out map pieces, thats one I havent seen. I have seen objects flicker, this is based on the center point of the object being off the screen, but I havent seen it mess with map tiles.
