Desert Temple — COG Factory

Q. Can a reference photo's radial sanctum — an octagonal chamber turned around a central plinth — be built by radial cleaving and still read as the photo's shape in-engine?

Yes. Four diagonal cleaves give the octagon, four niches are carved into the axis-aligned walls, and a sunlight shaft opens through the ceiling.

Installing it

P32.GOB is a level. Unzip it and drop the GOB into your episode folder.
Pick it from the episode list.

The GOB carries its own level, models, and materials.

These are living projects, not finished releases. A level is rebuilt whenever something is learned — a lighting rule, a texture orientation, a whole detail pass — and it keeps its filename through all of it. The build number is how to tell which one you have: it is printed in the readme inside every zip, and it only moves when the level's bytes actually change.

 around a central plinth -- be built by grid rotation and still read as

INSTALLATION
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Drop P32.GOB into the `episode` folder of a Jedi Knight install (the one
that already has JK1.GOB in it) and pick it from the episode list.
Nothing else needs to change: the GOB carries its own level, cogs,
materials and sounds, and reads the stock resource/ for everything else.

On a libretro frontend, point the core at the GOB itself. It needs a
folder beside it holding `resource/` from a real install -- that is
where the retail data lives and none of it is in here.
