light/darkness

[ACdestinydream]

i would like to ask for suggestions for this theme... i dont know what tilesets to use :X

 

[thedeathunterxx]

wont need much of a tileset...more or less, itll be the doodads and lighting that will determine the contrast between light and darkness....


but if i were to choose a tile set it would be : Icecrown Snow <-> Outland Abyss

 

[ACdestinydream]

erm, why? im making a map which both elements are combined. no they are not opposing each other but they are allied.

 

[thedeathunterxx]

ohhhh . srry i misunderstood.

i have no idea how to combine light and darknes X_X

Twilight perhapes? I don't know how you would go about with the tiles for that but thats the closest thing to both Light and Darkness.

 

[ACdestinydream]

same here. totally no idea how to do it. but im determined light and darkness will work out the way i want.

You know what would be great? Use the transparent tile to make the ground clear, then add light effects like fog right underneath the ground so it looks like you are walking on it. And for the dark, you could leave the ground transparent, or use the Outland abyss tile.

Just blackness in the dark would be kinda boring - you need to add some sort of floating path thing to it, maybe like the fog idea just with like a dark purple fog

 

[ACdestinydream]

nice ideas but if thats for the whole map wont it look... funny?

Dungeon tileset combined with dalaran's tileset is perfect for darkness and light schemes.

Meh, been there done that.

The fog thing would look better for like paths, make some paths out of fog so the player can see where to walk, then stick in some random floating things, maybe some rocks and some other WTF factor and it should look fine.
