I disagree with the "high quality" and "nicee!" part. Sorry. Could've been better, but I can see it useful for newbies, it is simple to follow.

 

[Super-Sheep]

Flat.

 

[TriggerHappy]

Not very good, at all..

+rep for taking the time for making this though..

 

[HFR]

It's useful maybe for noob terrainers, but for advanced and skilled is total useless, I'm sorry. Too flat, and nowadays almost everyone uses custom trees and doodads in terrains, that are a lot better than the Lordaeron Summer Tree, speaking of Lordaeron Summer, it's a bad tileset, the most well suited terrain for forests is the Ashenvale one, of course, and even the Village terrain is better than Lordaeron Summer.

 

[Belgarath]

Good enough for simple stuff, good use of the LordS tileset, actually. It's hard to make good-looking stuff with it.
However, it's not very good when you compare it to the average terrain of the forum. (playable ones) Good start though.

"Too flat, and nowadays almost everyone uses custom trees and doodads in terrains"

Flat, maybe, but I have NEVER seen a single actually good-looking playable map, ever. Not on B.Net.

@belgarath

ever tried Shards of resistance: The Raiders platinum edition?

 

[adnertsy]

well srry then... i made a easy tutor for newbies, and yes the name is maybe a litle to strong for the look. but i don't use this tiles set
and i usaly make the ground alitle more rumbeling.

 

[adnertsy]

Ya! i forgot... it's a bit to less dodads. AND WHAT N THE WORLD DO U MEAN WITH "custom" TREES!!!!!

I simply took some from the terrain board. Don't double post

 

[adnertsy]

yaya look... i am prety good at mapping but i don't have to use werry deataild trees u see i only have to work with canopy trees and normal trees and normal dodads from wc3 world editor.

 

[ArcticInferno]

If you are 'pretty good' at mapping, how can you not know what custom trees are?

 

[HFR]

Well, still useful for "noob" terrainers... (That wants to use Lordaeron Summer terrain, Mwahahahaha!!!).

 

[ArcticInferno]

Yea, without sky and fog, too :/

and also the end of the world

 

[Cheezeman]

You make awesome forests adnertsy, but your tutorials are very plain.
I would definetly approve this if you put some more work on it.
If I were a moderator that is...

 

[HFR]

In my opinion, needs a lot more improvement to become approvabble.

An playable map with awesome terrain? The new Mathias Chronicles campaign, made by Med.Map Guy (as always) have one of the best terrains of the world. Check it into samods, there's a 3 chapters demo.

Lacks proper formatting such as a title and headers, use the

,

&

tags for these. However, I don't think this is material for the database because of several reasons:

• It's not very detailed.
• The terrain itseff that you are teached how to do in this tutorial is lacking in several things, such as the use of tilesets and no imports, so basically you are teaching people to terrain "the wrong way".
• There are better terraining tutorials for beginners already in the database.

 

[adnertsy]

you can't use fog and sky in the editor...
some one if you shoud now that

 

[adnertsy]

srry for trying to help newbies, i thought they mabey think it's
to hard to import and that things.

 

[Kitabatake]

you can't use fog and sky in the editor...
some one if you shoud now that

Yes you can.

Scenario -> Map Options - to set fog
Scenario -> Map Preferences - to set sky display

View -> Sky - to show the sky display in editor
View -> Fog effects - to show the fog in editor

Nobody is picking on you. Your claim was you're pretty good at mapping, anyway.

We are telling you the things you need to fix in order to improve your tutorial.

Please don't ask for criticism when you are asking for compliments.

Everyone is trying to tell you nicely how you can improve on your terrain.

Frankly, nobody wants to tell you this, but it sucks.

Your cocky behaviour is appalling.

Nothing personal.

 

[adnertsy]

srry srry well i know you just help me but i got a litle upset you know and srry for saying your picking on me and ya i suck!
but cud some one atleast then give me some tutor how to make a good forest?

 

[ArcticInferno]

You don't suck. Your tutorial does.
