flat cliffs!

[Chewii]

Hey guys, can someone tell me, link a tutorial or something for how to make these cliffs.

Check out THW's terrain guidelines thread. You can read all kinds of useful stuff there.

The Misc.txt
The Misc.txt is a file that allows you to increase the steepness of your hills, to make you able to create custom cliffs, it also allows to enlarge those.
The file is attached to this post or available by a direct download link (Link to download the MiscData) Just create a custom folder in your WarcraftIII folder with the name "UI" and place it into it to make it work, after that, start your World Editor and raise new hills.

They are not flat, they are at an angle but a very steep angle. Between base and top there is still a 1 tile distance.

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/31334613/MiscData.txt Download this miscdata instead, the old one in the thread is buggy.

 

[gorillabull]

you need we unlimited to make them like that and i think it can be done in jnpg

 

[Chewii]

without the miscdata thing?

 

[HappyTauren]

Yes, WEU (now obsolete, don't use it) and newgen have those features built in (as well as many others). I suggest everyone to use newgen, even if one doesn't even know jass, because newgen makes everything easier for us.

In addition, that effect is a result of the plateau tool. First raise it to the appropriate level and then apply plateau. It will create that very steep cliff-like effect.

Also, don't get carried out too much, remember that aside from the "cool looking" factor, the terrain also has to be playable, and if it is too steep, it can obstruct vision of units behind. Usually, I wouldn't say a thing like this, but I've seen so many maps where people abused the plateau tool + miscdata to such extent that they've damaged actual playability. Also note that there's no miss chance when attacking someone from such a cliff, as well as that vision is not obstructed, what this means is that creating those cliffs can actually change gameplay a lot.

I have this JNGP, and it should work with it.

But it doesn't work when I do as you said purgeandfire the steepest it will get is like this.

And don't worry tauren I will use it with sense
