Need Terrainer For Project!

[Dr. House]

For a long time if been making a map named Lord of the Rings Builder. If terrained this map yet everytime im not satisfied with how it turned out. Im more of a none playable terrainer than someone who makes playable terrain. To this thread if attached my map and som screenshots. If you are intrested in reteraining my map than please post a message.

Another thing is that this map is a Builder map which means there needs to be enough space for players to build their base.

Hope that someone is intrested.

Please do not edit this map and say you made this. This happend to me once and i do not like to have that same thing over again.

 

[Dr. House]

None of you intrested? More than 50 views???

 

[HOooDy]

Like an MELEE MAP !

I could give it a try, never terrained the map of someone else though. If you want to see some of my work, check my album.

 

[Dr. House]

If seen som of your work before please give it a try

The terrain is horrible, you better find someone who will going to remake the terrain from zero.

 

[Verhalthur]

I know this hasn't been updated in a bit, but if Fan's godly terrain isn't finished yet, I'd be happy to help.

 

[PyroKnight]

And on Risk maps the units and buildings should be in small size like in the World in Flames map.

Another thing is that this map is a Builder map which means there needs to be enough space for players to build their base.

Tile'n height variation and non-path doodads galore!

Vervalthur, you're free to do it, I attempted to make something, but I failed = Too few motivation and too much other things to do.

Sorry that I didn't tell you earlier, I guess I'm not good at managing such things ^^ :/

 

[Verhalthur]

Yay! \o/

I'll try it then.

EDIT: Keep in mind that I am no LotR lore guy, so I'll be trying to make it fit the areas that you named in the image names. :T

 

[tobyfat50]

Your terraining skills are close to nonexistent, no offense!
I will give your terrain a try!

 

[Dr. House]

Thanks and honestly my skills in playable terrain as it comes to strategie related are indeed horrible so yeah i dont take it as a offense xD

Once again thanks to everyone who wants to help i appriciate it

 

[tobyfat50]

I apologize for what I said earlier and am going to rephrase; Your skills in playable terrain are bad. Noneplayable are OK!

So I started cleaning the whole map and will make it from scratch - deleting almost all doodads, removing the horrible blizzard cliffs!
Change the tiles because they didn't match.
For now i just textured a part of it, your map is huge and, it feels like it will take forever to terrain it. This is why most people apparently lose motivation to do it!

 

[Dr. House]

Yes thats true

 

[Verhalthur]

I was initially going to remove the blizzard cliffs, but then I realized the sheer amount of pathing blockers I would need to place would make it much easier to hit the omnipresent doodad limit.

Anyway, I made your oceans look nicer and started work on Minas Tirith.

WIP map file attached.

 

[Dr. House]

Nice improvement on Minas Tirith for as far as i can see

 

[tobyfat50]

Some slow progress!

Screenshots

The terrain is not flat anymore. All I did for now is make the ground - I was lazy these days , I agree with you about the rocks, the models are bad will fix.
I am not a fan of Lord of the rings so I am going to have to do research.

 

[Verhalthur]

Yeah, I was just hit with five final projects and three exams.

If I am able to continue work on this, it'll have to be much later.

 

[tobyfat50]

I also..

 

[Dr. House]

Nice improvement of the terrain toby and @Verhalthur goodluck with your exams and thats ok just do what you have to do

 

[tobyfat50]

Sorry to leave you hanging, I'll work on the map from time to time. My biggest problem is TIME, and lack of knowledge for lord of the rings.

Looks nice toby, I would have never achieved to create something like this, good job!

 

[Dr. House]

[tobyfat50]

Yes this helps a lot. This is a good source!

 

[Dr. House]

Thanks for that Olo

 

[Verhalthur]

So I've been trying to attach this for a while now, but the attach system is wonky for some reason. :/
I decided to use the pastebin instead.

Here are the references I was going to use to terrain the places in the pngs Dr. House provided.

 

[Dr. House]

=.= i hate google chrome for auto downloading anyway those are very usefull

 

[tobyfat50]

I am going to play LotR so that I can finally make a proper map!
