A ton of OpenLOCK revisions

We noticed a few weeks ago that Printable Scenery had updated OpenLOCK to 4.0, with a bunch of changes.  They added a number of additional ports to ecisting walls, making tesselation easier and eliminating the need for a bunch of mirrored versions of walls.  They also added a number of new...

Today we finish up the release of the barbican.  The parts are here to make a full castle gatehouse, a gate in a city wall, and any number of other stone defensive structures.

I'm still working on getting the external tudor tiles migrated forward, so I hope you all enjoy this from my backlog....

Are you the gatekeeper?

I created this some time ago but never released it.  Given that I'm busy updating all the Tudor external tiles to the newer version, this seemed like a good time to finally release the gatehouse and barbican.

This is in the style of the older OpenForge 1.0 stone series (including that it's an...
