While being transported to Arcadia the hero's and villens where seperated from there bodies and stripped of there powers and are now start out as peasents so you must decide what peasent belgons in what body (hero selection) then you will be transported to Inigma village (starting town) where you meet Cpt, John, he will tell you what going on around Inigma Village and Inigma woods, after that you set out on your quest to save Arcadia

SO DO NOT POST ANY COMPAINTS ABOUT MY MAP OR THE FACT THAT I HAVENT GIVEN A VERY GOOD DESCRIPTION

So what is the point of this thread? You need criticsm and fast, since the idea isn't developed, the terrain looks bad. You need to put a lot more work into it.

 

[Deon]

Actually, your description is great. Continue forth, my friend, glorious horizons of dementia await you.

Mind I suggest you to fix some veri obvious and multiple grammar errors in the same words?

modle => model

cinamatic => cinematic

This will make your grand description to look EVEN more awesome. Let me bow before your talent.



P.S. Seriously, there's a good tutorial which can help you. At least it was quite helpful for me when I started to make my map. And don't give up if others don't like your work. I was kidding in this post, I think that this map is too simple in terrain, I don't know about triggers, so you should try to improve it. Always struggle for perfection and one day you will make something really valuable.

The terrain dosent looks good. Maybe some height and tile variation?

 

[Rukuchan]

you trying to tell me my terrain is flat from just a few pics ok for one you havent even seen very much of it and it is far from flat.

and i didnt mean not to tell me the bad things about it
i just didnt want any bashing is all

 

[Palaslayer]

hm, i dont think this is good ^^

you need a lot more work in terrain and you will have to improve triggering and mapping skills

 

[Bob27]

Well in almost all of the screenshots you have posted so far the terrain is too flat. Some tile variation would help a lot, and it needs a lot more detail. Even just some rocks would help make the terrain look so much better, especially in the third and fourth terrains, which looks really empty at the moment.

Also in the city terrain you need to have a lot more buildings, and also some things like crates barrels, etc.

Anyway just keep at it, your terraining will get better with practice.

Well your ogre area in the third screenshot is decent (could use more doodads than just trees though), but having the grassy area next to a volcano... it just doesn't mix right.

Volcanoes are cool, but does it go with the storyline? If it does, I suggest taking the volcano doodad out from the top and just add a few fire doodads in place of it. If not, then it's just taking up space that could be used for something more valuable to the story.

The blighted area in the fifth screenshot is where the "flat" comments are coming from. That could use some height texturing. It looks like random doodads were just dropped in it too. Maybe some dark red runes or undead decorations, Cityscape-type doodads removed and fog and would make it look more eerie.

Last thing... you might want to stick to one general series. Since it's mostly Final Fantasy right now, I would say stick only with a Final Fantasy theme. Just about everyone loves Final Fantasy that has played it before.

 

[Rukuchan]

you have no idea wether or not i am good at doing trigger or not just by looking at that so shut up and wait for the map to judge my triggering.

and yes i know the terrain needs more details and i know it looks flat in those but it isnt flat and the map is no where near complete.

this post was for the beta version of the map so ppl could try it out and let me know what they think, you one of those let me know what needs improveing and where the glitches are sort of thing but


i will be putting up new screen shots soon

 

[Deon]

Better post a beta/alpha/testing versions to look for errors. There're always some problems when you try your maps in multiplayer and it requires a lot of beta testing to make the map bug-free.


Also it's not a good idea to tell old forum dwellers to shut up if you're going to be liked here.

 

[Handycombinder]

I must agree with Rukuchan, Palaslayer dont know if he is good or bad to triggering.

 

[Rukuchan]

yeah i just now found a problem where i put some pathing blockers for some reason i can stille walk thru them. but il get it fixed at some point.

oh and you can download the map in this thread if you havent already

 

[Rukuchan]

it would help if ppl would download it and play it and let me know whats wrong with and what needs to be fixed....so i can you know make it better

 

[Proximity]

Well I've only played as Sephiroth so far. His Dash Slice is pretty nice, but only one level? Sephiroth needs to be made invulnerable when Dash Slicing. And I think you should have more custom spells suited specially for the heroes rather than using basic Warcraft skills like Chain Lightning.

After Andariel, I went through the waygate. I saw the cinematic (which by the way the camera was way off from the triggering hero when it panned back over). After the cinematic, I was trapped in that area. I couldn't destroy the dungeon gate door to get to the demons since it was invulnerable, and there was no way of going back to a past area. I highly suggest you check that over ASAP.

 

[Palaslayer]

right, i rly didnt know why i said that...

no actually i meant that you should learn as much as you can before creating a map which means that it would be good for you as well, to reach a high level of mapping, triggering and terraining before you do a map all alone

else to get the best results you should find urself some project members, who are good at doing one of those things, and you do the concept and one part you are best in doing

thats all, hope i didnt offend you

[Rukuchan]

yeah i am trying to get some prject members and i just now got one, so i have someone les to do terrain on this map or at least fix it lol
