Terraining workshop

[rysnt11]

Hmm...
atm no idea i need...
i just keep an eye to my pet idea thread, some of them still have no model and no specification
I workin on the monster rancher right now, i used the selling idea from farmer's life (non loap game, a little same, but has big difference)

 

[rysnt11]

Blindman, can you make a terrain, just to prove your self is good enough to take some request, i approve you, but some other outside this thread are not, so make one, oh, and remember, no imported files exist, so we can judge from blizzard's standart doodad, and destructible.
thanks!

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

Dont double post.
But ok.

 

[rysnt11]

Oh, didn't notice that, sorry

 

[XPQJ]

subscribing to thread ^^;

 

[rysnt11]

Haha, my vice leader is here!
E1:
==ANNOUNCEMENT==
For all who subscribed to this thread
I'll updated all your nice terrain to the main post
The finished terraIn request will also need some screeny to prove that the request is done, just attach the screeny to the post, i'll post a link to them in main post

 

[rysnt11]

Bumpy ride here...

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

The terrain you did could be improved. Add some variation, raise/lower tool, remove those cliffs, make the tiles look natural, make everything look natural.

 

[rysnt11]

i try the terrain building trick, it almost has same output with normal buildings
hmm....
and the naga underwater temple is one om my best, it used many blizz doodad
but, i'll think about changing some of it

 

[XPQJ]

yeah blizzard cliffs are generally bad, mainly because you have such little ability to modify them, they look really unnatural; unless covered by doodads, and they can sometimes cause glitches that can cause you unable to change them.

I also suggest using an imported miscdata.txt or JNP with the terraining inhibitors removed so you can simply use the raise/low tool, because every cliff being 90 degree slopes is unrealistic.

Natural Cliffs

Just cliffs.

Same cliffs + doodads.

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

The second pic looks cool. But whats the black thing?
Where did you take a screenshot there? In game or in the editor?
Could be for a cinematic .

 

[rysnt11]

Ah...
That thing, it from leak-'s map, he requested some sort of it...
I took it from editor

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

Im not sure what youre talking about but im referring to XPQJ's work.
Can you change mine from terrainer to maybe environment terrainer or something else.

 

[rysnt11]

Oh, that's from him, i don't have any idea where he got it, ot may be he just make it..
E1: anyway, where is your terrain ss?

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

Which I made?
I didnt know I should make...

 

[XPQJ]

i was just showing an example of why raise/lower tool > blizz cliffs.

 

[rysnt11]

@blindman: then make one...

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

What kind of environment?

 

[rysnt11]

hmm...
How about the mighty defence of lich king?
In tileset of nothrend
And don't forget to use only blizz doodad

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

How about the lich king? I need to not use normal blizzard doodads. Also, can I use non blizzard doodads?

 

[rysnt11]

a master piece of a truly great terrainer is maximize all the standart doodad into a legendady terrain,hmm..
I still have much to learn,
But i loves to see your only blizzard's doodad terrain

 

[Mgeterno11]

Hi rysn11. Would you terrain my map named as Through Snow and Ice? Please fix it adn do not leave any empty ground. And fix the cliffs next to the rivers and replace them with rolling shores.
And please raise a huge mountain in my map and fix the waterfalls and the icecrown tileset, too.
So pleaee do that for me.
import:Well, you can import to my map several nice models and icons too but most of them must be good for an icecrown-terrained map.

[HOooDy]

[Drunken_Jackal]

Hey, can you change the theme?

 

[Mgeterno11]

no, i am not in deadline, but i am busy at the moment so i do not have enough time to edit that map. yo will find my map in the idea factory.

 

[xDeathKnightx]

@rysnt111 - I have PM'ed you about joining.

P.s. If you REALLY want to see my terrains without any imports, you can find some in the links i give you, or i could make one now, and give it too you. Your choice.

 

[rysnt11]

@blindman: what?, the theme of this thread?
@mgrterno: are these protected?
@xdeathknightx: okay, i see them up, but still need some proof, show me your blizz terrain!

 

[xDeathKnightx]

Alrighty. Here are some i did before, took me about 5 mins each, or less.
Attachment 1 and 2.

If you need me to make a proper example, then i will. But like i said these were done quick. Just proof that i know how to use blizz models, i guess. Maybe.

 

[rysnt11]

One word for you xdeathknightx
EPIC!
You're in!

 

[xDeathKnightx]

Alright then Thank you. You will have to tell me what to do though

 

[rysnt11]

@all staff:
Anyone can handle the melee map request?

 

[xDeathKnightx]

I could do it, but i got work from 9am to 12am today, so i will have to do it later, so long as it isn't urgent i can do it .

 

[rysnt11]

@xdeathknightx: take a look at post #77, mgetreno's request

 

[rysnt11]

@xdeathknight: take a look at post #77, mgetreno's request
@mgetreno: your request redirected to xdeathknightx

Deadline:13 June

Reference:This Map

 

[rysnt11]

@blindman & xpqj: can one of you take above request?

 

[XPQJ]

I would if I could see the link but I don't have permission.

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /cpix/gameinfo/maps/GreatLakes.gif on this server.

Edit: googled the link in images and found the picture, I will start making this map, should I leave spaces for bases or something; the map seems like a terrain for an altered melee.

 

[Nightblade]

The map has few doodads in the first place.have you played rise of nations?

 

[rysnt11]

Alrighty then, good luck xpqj!
I'll update all the approved request on the main page

Mgeterno11's Through Snow and Ice

Okay, so, i am making progress with your map. Although there is more i need to know about it. I got this version from your Idea Factory, and it says something about the Icecrown palace, what do you want me to do with that, there is just a big empty plane at the top of the map at the moment.

Also, do you want me to try and balance out the gameplay?
E.g. Balanced trees, creeps, gold expansions, etc...

Also, the middle of the map, there is a, well... A creep 'base' which led to the palace, which isn't there anymore, so what do you want doing with that?

Also, the creeps seem so random, do you want me to place new creeps that fit the theme?

I won't supply any screenshots yet, until i know what to do with the above things.

Thanks In Advance

Regards,
xDeathKnightx

 

[xDeathKnightx]

Okay, so, i have decided to upload what i have done so far.
I do not want to change the whole terrain and map, because then it wouldn't be Mgeterno11's map anymore... so i just edited the terrain, and change some creeps and stuff. Like i said, these are what i got so far.

 

[Mgeterno11]

Hi XDeathknightx. Many thanks for editing my map. The terrain is beautiful. I give the permission to edit it becasue you are a well-experienced terrainer. Yes, you should edit some of the creeps which are not good and on the empty plane on the north you should make something icy ( icebergs, etc. )
Please send me the map when you finished editing it. Would you tell me how to make such an amazing terrain like that?
Thank you again.

 

[xDeathKnightx]

You're very much welcome. And Okay, i will change the creeps, and fix the north plane. and i will tell you how to make terrains when i finish the map, to save time I should have it too you, in about 1 to 2 hours, and anything you don't like you can either edit yourself or send me the map again.

Regards,
xDeathKnightx

 

[Mgeterno11]

Many thanks. Have a good time. Xd

 

[xDeathKnightx]

Okay, that assignment is complete. If there are any further problems with the map that you (Mgeterno11) need me to look into, just pm me or ask me here. Thanks

Alright rysnt11, when you are ready to assign me my next map, i should be ready, right now i have to go revise for tomorrows e-xam.

Request from Deathblade

Desired Area:128 x 128
Tileset:Barrens
Deadline:13 June
Theme:Mostly Barren,Trees,Lakes.Few Doodads
Import:None

Current Development State
Area 128 x 128
Tileset: Barrens
Theme: Barrens
Import: Hope you don't mind a 3kb fern.

Description:
There are a few more then a few doodads, however, most of the doodads are in un-pathable areas so they will have no limiting in playable space. I just didn't feel comfortable with empty cliffs. I think too many doodads is easier to fix then too few, and since I have not played the game it was hard for me to choose the right amount. On google it seemed they were many sharp cliffs so I made sure to include them.

Please direct complaints or issues as soon as possible so I have know not to start working on another terrain. If you have a problem with this terrain being attached to the post tell me and I can remove it.

[rysnt11]

@xdeathknightx: great work!
I'd like to see what you can achieve in future xdeathknightx
@xpqj:another great artist!
Keep up the good work
@both of you: one of you might reccomended as a moderator of terrain...
Haha~

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

xdeathknightx its weird that theres an infernal in an icy place. Maybe make it like the other infernals, an icy type.
