[Mapping] How to make bad terrains

[noob]

How to make bad terrains
The big problem of many mappers is they does not know how to make bad terrains.
The elevations
Use blizzards cliffs and the random height option.
By using two differant cliffs types near you can make a cliff bug who enhance the uglyness.
The doodadds
Edit doodadds creating doodadds based off units and make their size random also give them extemely pure colors this will make them horrible put a maximum of these doodadds anywhere.
The grounds textures
The abuse of lava and ice can make the colors epicly bad and make the terrain irrealistic.Also loarderon textures are ugly use them
The water
Uncheck the option enforce water limits make hight water and lower the terrain where there is the water you will loose one point of beaty
The shrubery
use as shrubery buildings without path and with double scale.
Cliffs
If you does not find blizzards cliffs egnouph ugly use mpq browser find all cliffs, inport in your map ugly models and give them the paths of the cliffs models.
Height bug
Edit miscdata in UI putting the height limit to 77777777 after go in the editor and raise the more possible the ground after some time the world end and the reign of uglyness start I will not show you it is too ugly. after that raise more and this will be more ugly

[HFR]

Using the Lordaeron Summer tileset counts too.

 

[noob]

Yes they are included in the screenshot.
there is not yet a moderator here to remove me 14 rep than six users gave me without reason

 

[eubz]

I'm not going to make bad terrains instead, I'm going to make good ones.

 

[noob]

Then does not post here beacause it talks on how to make the worst terrain.
Reply to the next post.
You are a mapper modeller and you come to this tutorial.
And not a tutorial on how to make goods terrains.
(After the double post here is the monopost.)

 

[eubz]

Don't get offended dude. Terrainers and mappers will go to a tutorial in creating nice terrains, as I know. Correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[Vengeancekael]

This is a very good tutorial, please approve it.

 

[The Reborn Devil]

Excellent tutorial. You should become our new admin for sure.

 

[Skycraft]

Great tutorial!
Good use of images, BB code and information.

Thank you for helping me so much you rock DD

 

[Troll-Brain]

So i had an unknown skill which generally is not intuitive, but must be learned with some tutorial, awesome !

 

[noob]

I made this tutorial because no one made it before.

 

[tobyfat50]

Something new!
Those terrains look like my first ones I made in wc3. Think I'll post some bad terrains myself
and if Moderator approves so do I!
You should become our new admin and Map Moderator on bad terrains!

 

[Adiktuz]

WoW, I never thought of that... I agree with those above

 

[noob]

I does not think I shall become an admin or a bad map moderator.
All what is say here is pure joke.
Tutorial updated.
I shall include the shadow bug in this tutorial when i shall understand it.

 

[~Void~]

I feel like this is entirely necessary.

Nostalgia anyone?

 

[eubz]

Sorry Mr. Noob, It really just have come out in my mind that if PugeandFire111 manage to check out this tutorial, this might be approved. Cool tutorial really.

 

[-Peper-]

This made my day.

~Void~, Was that what you did in a previous life or are you immortal?

 

[noob]

The ultimatly ugly thing: the height bug.
I am including it in my tutorial.
Also Terrainers of the 15th century were called cartographiers

 

[Vladadamm]

Can you explain the utility of this tutorial ?

Because everyone can create bad terrains without help. The easyest thing in the world is too fail; so i don't understand why we need a tutorial for make fails.

 

[noob]

With a tutorial you can fail even more

 

[Vladadamm]

With a tutorial you can fail even more

You don't need a tutorial for add 10times much bigger WorldTree in your map, add ugly cliff anywhere, have ice on lava and others...

People want make good things, not bad things or noob things.

 

[noob]

But not anyone know the height bug and the possibility to change cliffs models

 

[Vladadamm]

I don't need your tutorial for this ^^ You didn't explain anything. And there are existing tutorials for this.

I think you're just a very strange guy which is the opposite of a normal person. (you want make bad when others want make good, you don't want reputationwhen others want, etc...)

 

[tobyfat50]

How can you succeed unless you fail first!?
In my opinion this tutorial is pretty useful because you can see bad terrains from which most novice terrainers can learn from. People who make bad terrains have the examples right in there face and they can refined themselves in them.
I suggest that this tutorial should be taken seriously!

I agree. If everyone would like to start with vJass for example, then he would never achieve anything. No, a scripter must start with leaky crappy GUI then optimize, learn loops, if's, making it not leaking... Move to Jass... Then vJass. Here is the same: Starters has to make some crappy thing. Then put cliffs, change tileset, map size, doodads etc. Then use B2M and so on. People has to learn how to use things. You will never read Harry Potter without knowing the ABC In conclusion everyone wants to make the "BEST" things, nevermind if he can't... That returns he won't have mood to continue...

Also I uploaded my very first meeting result with the world editor I am still having it

 

[tobyfat50]

Good one!

You can progress only if you try to do the better of you; so you can only degress if you try to do the worse of you.

False dichotomy.


Simply because you progress from trying to do better doesn't necessarily imply that doing the exact opposite has a reverse (or inverse) effect.
Ask any respectable abstract painter about the do's and dont's of Dadaism.

I would drink from that fountain.

I can say no more 'bout this tutorial. This is really cool.

You forgot to make a space in reputationwhen and can you give me a link to a tutorial for that who are not mine

 

[Oziris]

I'll give you rep for your nice sense of humor, you gave me a nice laugh! Thumbs up for the idea.

 

[HFR]

An amazing work, clearly deserving of rep.
