TD terrain

[Osirus2440]

Hello everyone, i've been working on a TD (first map) and i have some terraining that i have done, and i would like some data on whats good and whats bad.. i also have a question, in my map (second screen) you can see the sides and corners of the map, how can i make it so you can't see that in game? I have tried making the camera boundaries closer in but it doesn't seem to block that side of the map drop off.

First SS looks great

Maybe you would have to expand the map and shrink the Camera bounds? I'm not exactly sure.

ah thanks, i think it looks good to, but i have no clue what to do on the middle of the map, i have the shoreline on the left and the town side on the right, but the middle is just plain grass

EDIT: ok i tried changing the size and it says it must be a multiple of 32 in both dimensions? so it wants like 32x32? 64x64 etc? because it wont let me do the rest lol,

Yeah you'd have to make that jump, but you just make the camera size bounds stay at your original size.

Again I'm not even sure if that would help so be careful.

yeah it'ts not working, thanks for the info though any ideas about he map that could make it look better? anyone else?

Make mountains at the end of the maps? That's the only thing I can think of. I won't comment on the terrain before you finish more.

Aswell as modifying the camera bounds, add a terrain fog (Scenario > Map Options) I think it'll help.

Good for a TD terrain! Way better than most other tower defense things, they're usually just patterns of tiles and maybe the odd doodad here and there.

lol thanks, i wanted this TD to be just a terrain practice really, and trigger practice.

I would look at Element TD. It has a very good TD terrain.

This looks good so far. Use plants with no Pathing Texture. That will allow things to be built in it, or walk through it.

For a TD terrain it is good.Most TD have simple terrain,not very detailed and I don't think that players care for the terrain when playing TDs.Anyway it looks nice.

Alright, will do. thanks for the info guys. As i said its more of a terraining practice for me than a TD
