{Closed} Huge Mountians?

[AKAIMAX]

Looking across WOW pictures, I've noticed that they have those giant cliffs and I was wondering how will you guys make those? The max Height is less than 9000.

Make everything else smaller... Besides, even that isn't really necessary. The hills can be large enough.

Problem with making stuff smaller is that the tile sets get too big. Craka, actually, if you edit Misc Data, you can see that -9000 is the lowest and somewhere around 6000 is the highest and comparing to WOW, that isn't really that high.

We can't make the mod's scale of everything exactly the same as in WoW. We'd be able to make very little stuff per map. We try to scale everything as accurately as we can though. Right now, all the maps are about 190x190 up to 256x256, but I found a program that allows me to make the maximum size of each level to about 410x410, which is nearly twice the size of what we have now. The Open BETA won't feature 400x400+ size maps though (except for Orgrimmar and perhaps a couple other areas) but gradually as the public versions are being released the zones will be redone entirely and be much larger and much more accurate too.

That's maximum mapsize, craka. He's talking about maximum hill height.

And afaik, wc3:wow too has the same limits as any other project, but the limits are fine.

Ok thanks.

argg its named Newgen jassnewgen pack its a program allows you to make maps 410x410 and allows you to use all tilesets and unlimited doodads i mean comone evry mapmaker knows that.

 

[Eleandor]

You'd be surprised if you knew how many people have never heard of WE newgen.
And those who have often think it has virusses and go back to vanilla WE.

Im talking about raised terrain height not map size.

and you can make realistic mountains.... its not that hard.
check out my wheel of time map. It has realisticly sized mountains...ones that actually appear to be fucking mountains. not complicated at all.
