Interesting Cliff Bug

Luorax · Sep 29, 2011

Okay, I'm experiencing a very strange bug. Everything is fine in WE, but it looks horrible in-game.

Any idea why is this happening and how to fix it?

Make sure the doodads that you have placed along the cliff have the tileset (Outland) ticked.

The same happens even without doodads.

i saw on the minimap that the bottom-left half of the map is quite different
did you import the desert ground from another tileset?

Luorax · Sep 29, 2011

The map's tileset is Felwood, but some Outland tiles have been added.

I think it must be because the name of both cliffs is "Dirt".

69stehend · Sep 29, 2011

well as far as i know the cliff texture from a tileset is unchangeable and unimportable
so i think, that, if you are basing on the felwood tileset, you are only able to use felwood cliffs and no others, so the outland cliffs are replaced by felwood cliff in-game
but thats only a theory! i am not sure

It'd be really sad. I hope we can find a way to fix it.

Perhaps improvise and do your cliffs by increasing the hight of the ground and use some nice matching rocks and doodads too make it look like a cliff. Then mark the zone with pathing blockers if needed. Those blizzardish cliffs are ugly anyway.

I'm fine with the cliffs, as the terrain of an AoS map does not have to be that much detailed IMO.

I think we're going to make the other side of the map similar to the already done one - so it's going to be 100% Felwood, with different buildings and minions, of course. Thanks for the answers tho'.

You are trying to use 3 cliff types. The game only supports 2 cliff types in a session.

Mind sharing the map and letting us to test if we would see it just fine ingame?

That won't work as docter super good says the game only supports 2 different cliff types. Luroax you can replace one of the two tilesets by importing the model of another one if you realy need that barrens cliff for aesthetic purposes.

If you need extra cliffs just extract the cliff models from the wc3 mpq's, do a wee bit of model editing switching their material used to replaceable texture 32, and import them in your map. Create the destructable in the map and then change the skin and change the replaceable id to 32. And then you got some custom destructable cliffs.

The irony is that it allocates a hex for cliff type but the actual game engine only permits the use of 2.

I don't think that would effect anything
