Hey guys,
We came up with a nice mapsystem idea.
Basicly this system shows up a more detailed map of our World of Gaias Retaliation then the normal minimap.

This means we would need a picture of the world in the bird eye view (not a screenshot) drawed by you.

at the end the user would press on his map button for example and the full screen map (picture) of our world would turn on.

It would be possibel to expand this system maybe, for example with a sign where the player is at the moment and so on.


We dont have the possibility to draw a picture of it, we would like you to support us with this system .

I hope there are some people which are interested, it would be important for us, we would use that picture also for the loading screen credits ingame and on the loadingscreen would be guaranteed.



some examples i found maybe a good inspiration:

i think its, 'cause much people like this map and have interesting ideas, but can't implement it, 'cause they can't work with Jass or so. like me^^
I only can some GUI.

Errr wait ... maybe you got us wrong, but we never said that you should script this system. We want someone to actually create the map - the graphical design ... the picture.

THis is just the landscape which is playable, with out the dungeons.

The screenshots are with out doodads because we have over 22 000 this gives me graphic bugs while i want to do screens.

bird eye screen

and the bird eye screenshot with a short explanation for you, just for understanding

anyway if some one is interested in helping us with this we can talk about details

Sup guys,

It's a great idea and adds to the atmosphere, and I think I can help you.

I'm fairly skilled in painting digitally, and I think a map with some effort put to it shouldnt be a problem, I'll freely take this on and see what you think of the result.

Here's some stuff I've done:

(oldie )

Ill see what I can do

 

[teh.fellow]

I made a next picture with the landscape of unknown lands im not 100 % sure about but it could look a bit like in the gothic 3 map with unknown land ?

unknown lands

 

[Kiith89]

very good, I think Ill simply take that map and paint ontop of it, the guidelines will come out nicely, and when you evolve the game next I can simply remake the "unknown" or nondetailed areas.

Ill start tomorrow, got nightmanager shift right now, then some sleep on that one =) will be exciting

 

[Kiith89]

I will also need all the names and such to put out, if u can make a list to provide me, eg. city names, dungeon names and such to be put out on the map.

 

[teh.fellow]
