Terrain Ideas

[HeretoDLstuff]

Heres some random island ideas. I think it should be, kind of, like elim tourament, were you can choose differnt islands.


For the three small islands at the top left, I was going to make it so you can travel between the islands like this: You step in the circle of power, and a trigger hides your unit and the boat goes to the other side, were you are moved to and reappear, and the boat stays there so you can go back over.

Some sort of island transputation thing might be cool. But I don't know about the whole elim tournament way of having levels to choose from, it would add a lot of size and the map should stay low-size kilobyte wise as it is meant to be quick to start a game on BNet.

I don't know if you have looked yet, but I think that nonzealots terrain is a little too cluttery, although it would be a decent pirate harbor, I think it wouldn't be very good for a pirate tag map, I tryed keeping mine fairly simple, and not too many objects in the way, except for the ship, I haven't looked at heretodlstuff's though, so I cannot say, that is just my personal opinion

Yea mines is meant to be a little island in the game.

I haven't looked yet, I am a bit busy, but just got holidays for 1½ week so I should soon find time. The terrains should be mainly simplistic, as objects will make your characters stop with the current walk system and too much objects clutters up playable game place in a way I don't like.

The more terrain ideas that you guys have got the better, even though I may only use 1-2 of your guys ideas it will all have been a help for me during development of the next terrain!

I was going to suggest something like the idea famouspker49 had, (he beat me to it) but I was having an idea before that I never did anything about which is that, one part is that you dive into the water and you do a small part of the tag down there, which is solved with the transparent blue screen fade, and camera bounds to the under water part, then when you go up the water part could get fogged and the screen turned normal...
That's just an idea, I don't know if you are still working on this or anything // Best Regard, Zarakk

[ragingspeedhorn]

Still working on it, thanks for the suggestion, +rep!

[NoNZealot]

I can't wait. I need screens to get satisfied O_O

hey guys i think there should be 4 courner islands and a little like, bunch of small ones in middle each corner island has a different terrain on it eg blitch light grass dark grass and desert.
the middle islands should be like the deserted islands with like 1-2 palm trees and a bit of flowers and thats my suggestion thanks for listening to it :D

[ragingspeedhorn]

Thanks for the idea, nightelf_frenzy, I'll think about it.

Why don't you put in some circling sharks and ships in the water, and some cannon doodads. That'll look great for this settings.

Maybe you could have an island formed as a O with kraken in the middle of it or maybe 2 ships with boarding bridges to each other!
