MiniMage: Too simple.

 

[Stefan.K]

This is so useful. Gj

 

[A Void]

very creative and original. Very useful! 5/5

 

[WhiteFang]

This is indeed very usefull,thanks for sharing!

 

[JesusHipster]

Hey, with some minor improvements to the floor wrap this might be a must-have model. Well done.

 

[MiniMage]

Wouldn't it make more sense to split the model up and enable terrainers to craft this space using their terraining wizardry? ;o

 

[Heinvers]

How about this: make a split up version too and upload it?

Aye, I've been looking for something else for the floor. The only other thing that comes to mind is the bookshelf top, but it could be a little too yellow/orange.

Or you could remove the floor and let the user use normal tiles. Because right now, units that step on the floor have no shadow and it has a bad wrap.

Doodads don't have a shadow too, because of the floor.

@Minimage - I actually didn't think of that until now, thanks!
The reason I hesitate to dismantle this in favor of multiple little segments is that the walls are transparent/hitched from the back (thus the black wall around it) so piecing them together in any way other than a strait line would result in the blackness showing through neighboring walls.

@Heinvers - Uploading the pieces separately is a good idea, but I have two problems on that front.

1) The problem with the way I built the walls to make a 'Diablo/Baulder's Gate' makes it impossible for people to place walls without the black back showing through the walls/beams.

...unless they grab a model editor and knit them together after they are in their place.

2) I don't know how to upload bulk sets of models, and I think I could get into trouble for flooding the main page with tons of chunks (some of which aren't meant to be viewed from the back, like the fireplace)

If either of you or anybody else has an idea of how to solve the utility issues, and knows how to upload in bulk, I'll do it and give credit + rep to all who helped.

@A Void) Very true, I had thought of adding a makeshift 'shadow' layer just a few pixels above the floor to make it seem like the fire was casting shadows across the room. Problem is that units would still have no shadow, so you've got me there.

Any idea what people could use as a floor? I could make a tile, but pairing the two would make for a massive leap in file-size and confusion for people who don't know how to apply custom tile-sets.

Or you could use the mighty alpha tile to make the real tile transparent and have the floor model just a bit lower than the terrain. It would be an excellent illusion, and the shadows will be seen.

Very useful indeed

Why not just make the walls into a custom cliff surface. For it to function properly, you'll still have that darkness anyhow. Then all you'd basically need to do would be to wall in a space, ensure that you have another texture for the floor and bam. Most of the chairs and tables are ingame doodads so you could easily just add them to that little space you now cut out. Basically, the only thing I can see that is new is the pillars. As for the cauldron, that could easily be filled in with a model containing that little segment and nothing else and that would then blend perfectly with the custom cliff surface.

My main reason for that is I've yet to make a wall texture (potential to royally mess up)

The other reasons are that it has already been done by another hive-member, and the walls in this are 3d, rather than flat.

If I were to go with your suggestion about making it a wall, windows wouldn't be remotely as wide, and the texture would be randomized/cut off abruptly.

Its a good idea, one that I'll do for the interior of the castle in Wrath of the Kaiser, but I'm going to give it a pass on this.

 

[Kyrbi0]

This looks potentially really cool. Not sure I have a use for it (not until you get "interior troll temple" going ), but neato!

Would it happen to be a sand, desert, frost, dark, or forest troll temple good sir?

 

[Splub]

Great job! Very cool and useful!

 

[A Void]

Light Fire shadows? hmm

 

[Kyrbi0]

Would it happen to be a jungle, jungle, jungle, jungle, or jungle troll temple good sir?

There's only one right answer to that question, good sir. >

That's not what he actually said, in any case you should post that in the request section.. :/

I believe I hear the drums thrumming their hymn of war, and the chants of the troll hordes a' comin'.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Very astute.

It was a joke, of the "fix'd" quotation variety. Common on the Internet. Besides, I'm not making a Request because I don't want to bug anyone; I don't particularly know that I need it. But it would be cool & I can probably find a place for it, and likely others could as well.

Simply a (not-so-)subtle suggestion. : )

He got it. : )

Bwahaha. Let me know. : )

 

[HerrDave]

Well, this was a sad conclusion say-eth I.

'Too simple' indeed.

 

[MiniMage]

Well, you can replicate this with ingame doodads though. There's numerous cliff textures allowing for an easy terrained walls for the inside of it. The only thing of value in this thing is the cauldron and I think you uploaded that model separately.

 

[HerrDave]

Err-- I can't tell if you're trolling me or not about the cauldron. Its basically a brazier with a stone cylinder and some slaughterhouse chains O-o

 

[MiniMage]

So you agree with my conclusion to reject this resource then? Lovely.
Anyhow, I'm gonna lock this thread now.
