Hi thank you for viewing this product! (and hopefully purchasing it!)
This project started after a long year gaining information and the proper pictures.
Building it took however a few weeks to complete.

This fortress was created to be placed in RP-zones, although it is a excellent 'home' as well.
The size of this fortress may even be perfect for big ship owners! It does have a
Governor house, 6 prison cells, lighthouse, large courtyard and cannons should fit perfectly
on the star-points!

San Juan de Ulua Fortress
------------------------------

So where did I get that name and the idea for this fortress?
Well the fortress is build by using photo's of a fortress that still exists today!
San Juan de Ulua fotress can be found in Veracruz, Mexico, it was build by the Spanish in 1565.
There are reports supposedly from hauntings as well at this fortress (for those interested in that)

Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Juan_de_Ul%C3%BAa

I did not use the entire fortress as idea, nor did I make a 1-on-1 copy of the real thing.
I however did try to make it as accurate as I could without loosing too much space.
Also i had to calculate the camera in that gets dragged behind your avitar and the camera issues
you could get in confined spaces.

Update Log
--------------

Version 2.1
A fresh update with many new things done. This update was done with updating it looks
so it would look better between all the sculptie and Mesh words out there.
I did however not worry about adding mesh, this build is too old for that. I did however
do a few other things
- Some texture's have bump maps added now as well
- Some parts were changed to sculpties!
- Added "Haunted RL Fortress" notecard with some interesting info

Version 2.1 Fixes
- Textures fixed and redone
- Severe prim count kill (Version 2.0: 910 Prims) (NEW: 456) (LESS: 454 Prims Killed!)
- Still 6 objects but all objects are balanced more in prim count and use bigger prims now.
- Loose tower did not have a base, stupid mistake is fixed now!

Tests done for Version 2.1
- Test regarding stairs and other parts into Mesh. Unfortunately it did not loose many prims.
This solution seems it would make things too expansive for little progress.
Test failed, there for NOT used. I prefer to deliver quality instead of earning a quick buck
because of a 'Mesh' label on my products if it does not enhance the product.
- Test regarding Sculpti's. I tried multiple things, but in the end it did not really cause much
positive gain. There for I denied the results.

Version 2.0
Started on 2nd of December 2014 to see if it could be updated and re-released.
3 December 2014 it got released! Some of the changes are:
- Textures
- Severe prim count kill (ORIGINAL: 1160 Prims) (NEW: 910 Prims) (LESS: 250 Prims Killed!)
- Less Objects (Original 9 Objects) (NEW 6 Objects)

Version 1.0
-Skipped-
Was planned, but became a add-on pack for this fortress instead.

Version 0.6
First released version got released on 4th of Februari 2009

Q&A

Q: It's no mod, I want it mod can I get that?
A: Due to copybotters and people wanting this, but then start complaining after messing up, I decided not to have this item mod.
Note: Buying it and then asking for this doesn't change the matter. It's not the merchants mistake that you didn't look properly, you get multiple warnings before the sale is final!

Q: I want to change [insert here], can you help me?
A: I kinda moved on from building, hardly online as well. This product was first released in March 2009, there for I don't think it's fair to ask much of this.

Q: Will there be any future updates?
A: I was looking into primming it down a bit, the maximum size back then was 10x10x10 which is now changed. However due to the detail level it can take a bit to arrange and I have very limited time.
Short answer: Perhaps at some point (all those that purchased it will get a free updated version of course!)

  • RP-zone ready!
  • Replica of real fortress!
  • Huge building and low prim!
  • Lots of space!
  • Original dating back to early 2009!
