Import WoW tiles or not? (NO)

[HappyTauren]

LoL, i ve found out that each tile takes 180kb (so it's good quality) and some of them have problems with wrapping (witch can be fixed somehow)

so, are you for or against?

*soon i will post wrap and ingame of mullgore tiles witch craca wants so bad*

 

[Craka_J]

Mulgore and I think The Barrens tiles need replacement.

 

[Xarwin]

I don't know... It takes some place after all.
What is your own choise at the moment ?

 

[moyackx]

Could you post some screenshots?? so we can decide which tiles looks are worth to be added.

In this case, the size is mot problem, is most important the quality, so a more defined tilesets benefits the eye candy.

 

[HappyTauren]

@Flames: i think it's ok if they are wrapped correctly
@Moyack: heres screenie although it looks liike lordearon grass and needs a bit of wrap-repair
@Craca: ok, i've started extracting wow tiles for barrens and mullgore

 

[Craka_J]

Thanks, HappyTauren. It's wrapping isn't that great, but if you could fix it to make it look better then that's great

 

[Deckboy]

As long as they are wrapped really well I'm fine with it.

[Craka_J]

Agreed. Extract more Mulgore tiles.

If Nasurdin aproves, so do I.

k anyway, heres secret anyone can use:

1. extract thick grass texture with some mpq appliction
2. convert to tga
3. open it in gimp
4. colorize image so it's completely black
5. start paint
6. resize exported wow tile to 1/4 of 256X256
7. mirror them in both dimensions
8. copy all from paint
9. use "sellect by color" in gimp
10. set treshold(yea, my spelling) to 10
11. sellect transparent area
12. invert sellection
13. paste
14. convert to blp
15. import into wc3
NOTE: NEVER SET QUALITY TO HIGH! SET IT IN RANGE OF 75-85, otherwise blp could crash map (lol this is funny) and size would be retarded

Happy, one of those tiles is completely off from the others and it shows out very much, you should fix that!

argh! dont make me angry XP, i will fix unwrap as soon as i see where it's stricking out of skin (on wrap) and first to see if nas agrees, if he doesnt than i shoulnt waste my 5 minutes for each tile

 

[Craka_J]

Well Nas hasn't done tiles for Mulgore, so it must be alright!

 

[camel's_hump]

Or maybe you should let nas say what he wants, and stop assuming things.

 

[Craka_J]

Well WoW textures ARE better than Nas's, no offense intended. Although his textures go great with the models, I'm just saying that it'd be best to use extracted tilesets.

 

[Nasrudin]

Nas knows wow tiles are better than mine. Nas also said we won't use any imports from wow but the icons relased by Blizzy.
Nas will make better tiles so we are all happy.

YaY! well, they would even better fit into "wc3" world

 

[Craka_J]

*gasp* I guess I was wrong about Nassy! :O

 

[camel's_hump]

Hah! Told ya

 

[Craka_J]

The almighty camel's hump has defeated my accusations and assumptions... I am your humble servant.

Nas, I know you're working on Night Elf models right now, but do you think you can make more Orc characters as well? I'll post a screen in a few minutes.

Posted in Team Discussion.

 

[Mand_470]

i've seen so many night elf models than orc models in the screenies, so i agree with craka.

 

[Nasrudin]

I guess we should change the forum name. Too many spambots are attracted now...

 

[HappyTauren]

maybe something like "wc3 tft modification" :/ lol

[Craka_J]

Ah screw them! They'll find us one way or another anyway...
Nas, what tiles have you made so far? I know that you made Durotar and Teldrassil tiles. Maybe Barrens too. Mulgore needs a lighter terrain (the tile we have now is perfect almost, just needs to be... lighter. In WoW, terrain has light spots and darker spots. This is rendered terrain and is almost impossible to do, however we can just make one tile dark, and the other light. We can also use the torch's lighting effect on terrain. Although, the lighting affect in WoW is more of a whitish tint, and the torch's light is yellowish. Either way, it may look good. I think there is a way to change the tint of lighing also, but I'm not sure how. Something in editting the model's affect.

 

[Nasrudin]

I did 3 tiles for the barrens and one for teldrassil. The terrain can be rendered in wc3, so no problem.

 

[Craka_J]

Really? Well then that's great! We should do that. Atleast in the end. BTW Nas, make some Barrens mob models such as the Zevra (Zebra basicly) the Plainstrider and Prowlers (Female/Male Lions) and maybe some Goblins too for Ratchet and Venture Co.
