Mountains, TCO

[Aeroblyctos]

Hi!

It's been a while since I last time posted any terrains. I'm currently remaking my TCO chapter 5 mountains. Give me a lot of criticsm and feedback, because I will listen. Should I put some other doodads, etc, etc.

Later I will r release version 2.6b with these updated terrains. Here they are.

 

[seruk]

That looks great.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

That isn't really criticsm.

But anyway, I forgot to say that this is full play-able place.

1st is nice
2nd the rooks look fugly, there is a selected doodad and the cliff is to sharp
3rd and 4th are nice too
could use some terrain fog^^
+rep

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Aah... first good suggestion, fog. What kind of fog I should use?

idk i usualy use light gray in daytime

 

[Aeroblyctos]

But while you play the campaign, there can be day or night.

 

[raid1000]

well is this is a playable terrain then it wouldn't be any problem if u don't use fog at all because ya cant see the fog with the game camera (unless your using first person system)
and btw u can change the terrain fog via triggers

Actually, the campaign do have a optional first person camera.

and btw u can change the terrain fog via triggers

How?

 

[raid1000]

• day/night
  • Events
    • Game - The in-game time of day becomes Equal to 6.00
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Environment - Set fog to style Linear, z-start 1000.00, z-end 8000.00, density 0.50 and color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%)

and i hope i get some rep for this stuff xD
and make one similar

• Game - The in-game time of day becomes Equal to 18.00

for night time

 

[Aeroblyctos]

I have never used this kind of triggers. I start to study these kind of triggers now.

Indeed rep for you.

 

[Gilles]

It's decent. You trying to keep the doodad limit down?

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Well, actually no because the map already have over 10 000 doodads.

 

[Volvox]

Well, if you have enough doodad space, maybe you could replace big rocks with a few smaller ones, for the sake of texture quality.

 

[thedeathunterxx]

ahh what gilles said.

it looks really cool except for blizzards ugly textures...

may i suggest getting a custom model ? not sure though... you might want to use a cutout of some nice rocks, or some high rez ones... but anywhoo....

+rep

 

[Mor)L(unE]

Looks cool, i like the colors. those rocks.. bah it can't be helped

 

[Viikuna]

Yo Blyctos. I can let you use my fog smooth fog changing script, if you like. It uses a timer to smoothly change fog color from one to another, so you can have different fog for day and night. I can even make it non vJass, just for you

Fog creates teh feeling. Deep blue fog during the night really works ey.
Nice work, btw.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Excellent. I would like to have it.

 

[FrIkY]

It looks good in my oppinion, but it lacks some vegetation... it needs more plants and grass

 

[Priest233]

I agree with FriKy there should be some more vegetation and actually i dont like those trees maybe you could use some others. But anyway i like them and its play-able +rep

 

[NinjasDontFight]

Well since it's playable, just do normal screenshots. Fancy terrain are for the angles your doing. It would be more pleaseant to see what the game would like, since it's playable.


+rep for amazing terrain.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Okay... I give you some more screenshots, my friend told me that the place should look like a dry mountains so that's why I put that kind of trees.

The chapter is not of course like that all the time. These mountains are just a part of the chapter 5. It just wanted to make mountains better because before they didn't have any doodads at all. I think they look okay now, not the best of course, but it's my style to put doodads like this(fog is in the game only, I'm using Viikuna's brand new fog system).

So, any improvements? I'm going to release version 2.6b within few hours so I would like to have some suggestions.

 

[NinjasDontFight]

I think the cliff tilesets could use some height increase, is that small bridge walkable? (3rd Picture)

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Of course it is. Otherwise it wouldn't be play-able.

 

[Gilles]

Tile variation on the forest should be better than that.
