Refuge in Ruins

[oGre_]

Playble

95% of import was made specifically for this map.
Including:
Pack of support beams and timber.
Pack of various furniture -- tables, bookcases, and rubbish.
Pack of decrepit stones.
Pack of shrubs and bushes.
Stones pack.
Waterfalls and rivers were made on the base of waterfall from UTM

Textures were taken from "World of Warcraft" , abd slightly modified in Photoshop.
Files were converted to .blp with the help of program "Blplab"

The map itself is an example of the work with the above mentioned packs.
Fully playable, detailed on every angle of sight.

To see the invisible platorms, choose props "p" , "p10" и "p12" (Object Manager -- Destructibles -- Custom Objects -- Bridges and Ramps) and change file model to war3mapImported\InvisiblePlatformSmall_b.mdl

Author (oGre_) permits the use of models in any map \ project
All that required is the mention of name in the titles.

Also the author wants to say that the map is not entirely to be considered as suited for Warcraft 3/World editor, due to the numerous limits of the game engine.

this actualy looks like a game that could have been made on the xbox

just.. wow..

must have take you over 3 months doing ONLY the terrain

 

[Piwlady]

Very nice models right there, but still.. don't double post, there is Edit button for a reason

You should really get some1 to reskin your models, using of WoW stuff is bit... meh...

But yeah, everything looks good

Alright, now after some merges.

Firstly, I want to thank you Ogre, if you are the same guy as from XGM, for all the nice doodads you have created, and I hope to see more from you. Secondly, I want to gratulate you on making what I can only describe as the best looking playable terrain I have ever seen, but I guess that isnt TOO hard when you are able to make the models you want for the map yourself

Great work.

 

[Lexandritte]

Yeah, he is _the_ guy from XGM =) And I'm his translator =D

 

[thedeathunterxx]

wow. this is amazing.

best playable ive ever seen.

 

[johannesr]

holy ****

 

[Megafyr]

I feel like this was like the greatest submission to terraining since like evar! :0

indeed...

Void, and Cloudwolf have been raped in their own strength

 

[Fingolfin]

First there was light
Then there was oGre_
And God saw that it was totally awesome.

 

[PROXY]

me approves the best playable terrain that was ever made. Directors Cut

 

[Brombie]

Finally he makes an appearance on Hive! Oh, wait... almost.

 

[Pharaoh_]

At first I thought the terrain would be great just because of the models. Yes, that is true, but you added such a detail on it... Well done!

Dude, someone's so gotta put that into the sig... Maybe we should bride admins into changing Void's signature into this somehow...

 

[Fingolfin]

lol, thanks.
Void is permabanned, so he won't bother.

 

[Oziris]

Oh my gosh, totally awesome. There's only one thing that bothers me, the low texture units. First i too tough the terrain looks only cool because of the doodads, but now looking closer, you've added so much love and time to this terrain. I would add it to the Legendary playable thread terrain +Rep

 

[Sheephunter]

Godlike!

Edit,

Seing this map with this models... You just don't know how to use them :O
No1 can never ever make a map like this again!

 

[warman45]

wait so this isn't morrowind?

 

[Piwlady]

Ok, I checked it again in editor and gotta say it's best terrain EVER.

 

[syltman]

Awesome, hopefully someone can create a texture for these models as from what I can understand you took the textures from wow.

edit: Checked it out in-game, it was even more awesome then. You truly know how to make an epic scenery for a map/game, that is varied terrain height, epic size and also balance it

 

[Kaboooom]

it should belong to legendary terrains!!!!

 

[Insincerity]

I love the structures. They're amazing. Definitely the best I've ever seen made in WC3. I'm not sure if it's just a bunch of big models, or if each brick is a separate one; quite frankly, I don't give a shit... it's great.

The natural parts are a bit lacking in comparison, though. I think that may be Blizzard's fault, but I think you could definitely find some better scraggly grass and weed models to make it look a lot better. 's up to you, but I think an overgrown feel like that would be great.
