Construct with pieces Terraining Map

[Strydhaizer]

CWP Terraining Map

This is not like UTM , but some of resources are from UTM. I imported alot of models in the map and i also renamed them each just like what they do in UTM. I also removed the pathing of each resource/models. In this map , you can create everything in your imagination with this small pieces of models. In this pack , Some blizzard models are disabled but still , you can re enable it by changing/setting the "Editor-Tiesets" to "All" manuallly.

This pack is just like kind of tutorial Since the UTM4 is delayed (Or whatever happened to it) Lets try something new. This pack have only have few resources/features.

[Strydhaizer]

Try the Beta for suggestions
NOTE : This is not complete yet.

 

[Xerxes]

Wow... just wow.

 

[Strydhaizer]

I will be the one to add resources to the UTM ^_^ Ill add this resources for it.
Lets say , this is UTM 4 ^_^ Will reimport the UTM3 files here

 

[Xerxes]

Wow; I can't believe you will be the creator of UTM 4.

Good luck!

 

[JB_McKnight]

Nicely Done, Stryderzero!
Didn't expect a terraining map with this concept.

 

[Strydhaizer]

I remove the screenies because i will replace them in better screenshots , expect it after 1 hour .

BTW , who like contest? The contest with no prizes and no limits.
The best work will lead the chart. Ill add chart on my thread for it. But youre only allowed to use THE CONSTRUCTION WITH PIECES Terraining map.

You can import tiles but youre not allowed to import new models.

BTW , you can post your entry anytime , no deadlines.

 

[Celaquil]

Right, I'll just wait for the new screenshots then.

Also, real terrainers use "0.01" and "100.0" to scale everything to anything.
I'd advice you to change that, but seeing as you've got "thousands of models,"
I can see what a bitch that'd be.

 

[Strydhaizer]

Okay thanks Keiji , will change it.

Images fixed

I think the scale "100" = 1 was too small , i made it '2' coz some models were really small , most of them are environment models (rocks , bricks ,etc)

 

[Xerxes]

I haven't downloaded the map yet but I think you should include a readme file regarding their paths and textures.

 

[JB_McKnight]

I agree with him^^
also, you might want to include a tutorial on how to:
>Tilt (make a doodad lie flat)
>Make a simple terrain by pieces (maybe add a sample in the map)
since proper instructions on how to do those aren't that easy to find.

Most pictures aren't loading here.

He actually meant set the max scale to 100.0, not 1.00. Usually I set minimum scaling to 0.01, maximum to 100.0 and Defalut scale value to 1.00. Then when you place objects you can scale them up or down as far as you need in any direction.

Proptip: Don't use random scaling for this.

I haven't downloaded the map yet but I think you should include a readme file regarding their paths and textures.

For what? They're all included. And if you need to check it out, I guess for exporting, you can see all paths in your import manager.

>Tilt (make a doodad lie flat)

It's a terraining template, not a tutorial.

>Make a simple terrain by pieces (maybe add a sample in the map)

Have you ever played with legos?

since proper instructions on how to do those aren't that easy to find.

Yes they are in the first case. There are no proper ways to do constructions.

 

[JB_McKnight]

I already know how to do those ^^

Stryderzero said, I quote:

Why i made this? My aim is to let Newbie Terrainers upgrade themselves to intermediate because more of the great terrainers are disappear every year. This pack is just like kind of tutorial

I suggested that since he would like to expose this Terraining Template AND part Tutorial mostly to those new to terraining, perhaps it would be better to add a short simple How To's in the map.

Besides, with what MasterTrainer said, I think it would be best to add a note with all the paths since, Stryderzero also mentioned that he added MOUNTAINS of imported data. This would make looking for a simple texture file(which you might not even know it's name) be like searching for a Fudge I give about your comment, oh sorry, I mean searching for a needle in a hay stack.

Most of the pictures not loading here are yet to be uploaded/replaced.

With that, I humbly both mine and MasterTrainer's cases.

I don't see why they don't just read tutorials since they are all pretty much conveniently covered in the Guideline sticky anyways.

Export model file > open in Magos > open Texture Manager

Also how is a scrambled mass of textures and paths less messy in a .txt file than in the editor?

for a Fudge I give about your comment

yeah fuck horrible horrible little me right

 

[JB_McKnight]

Let's be civilized people here.

Export model file > open in Magos > open Texture Manager

Do ALL TERRAINERS use MAGOS??

Oh, and in a text file, your TEXT can be ORGANIZED.
Unlike in the Import Manager where you have to scroll through a list of bunched up numbers and letters.

 

[Xerxes]

Why would terrainers use MAGOS?

 

[JB_McKnight]

I was asking Fladdermasken, because for him it would be simple if terrainers would just export any model and view the textures it needs in Magos.

When looking for the textures and paths could have just been made simple to find through a text file with all the paths.

TO FLADDERMASKEN:
I Apologize for Firmly defending both mine and MasterTrainer's stand but we are here to suggest and support with Stryderzero's project. I believe that both of our suggestions are for the benefit of those who are to use this map. And Ultimately, it is Stryderzero's choice if he was to welcome both of our suggestions or not.

 

[Celaquil]

I prefer Wc3 Model Viewer and MDX Pather for texture viewing and paths.
- But that's just me.

I kind of agree with flad on this one, no point in adding tutorials or "how to's" when firstly we've got that all covered in "A Guideline to Terraining and the Hive's Terraining Section,"
and secondly, any halfwit should know how to put construction parts together to make stuff, it's like fucking lego, to further Flad's point.

 

[Strydhaizer]

He actually meant set the max scale to 100.0, not 1.00. Usually I set minimum scaling to 0.01, maximum to 100.0 and Defalut scale value to 1.00. Then when you place objects you can scale them up or down as far as you need in any direction.

Oh okay.

Proptip: Don't use random scaling for this.

It depends on the user if he will disable random scaling , sorry but i also set random scaling to them with a min of 1 and max of 5. I guess this is not a problem.

Look for the details below

I better include this to my map
https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/ultimate-terraining-map-volume-4-a.225248/post-2346843 @ MasterTrainer's Post (Post #176)
Anymore suggestion for the next version? You dont need to provide me a model.

~~~
Added Version 1.0 ,i imported new resources

 

[DESTROYER123]

Wow!
This pieces are unique!
Good job on this

 

[JB_McKnight]

By the way, if you were to add trees: I suggest only a little since the main focus on this map is constructing with pieces.

 

[Strydhaizer]

Offcoarse you also need to construct the tree with pieces of leaves haha
