This is the wrong forum. This forum is if you require assistance with the World Editor.

Now the right forum should probably be the Map Development section.

Uh, the tile variation and tile choices look terrible. Ice tiles and fire tiles and well most tiles except snow and grass and shit look really bad when there's a lot of them. Try to use like 5 tiles per zone. At least 3. NewGen editor allows you to have like 25 tiles in your map.

I like the first one, personally I hate transitions between completely different tilesets. dirt->anything works, and grass->(snow,rock) works, but grass->Lava doesn't work.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Firstly, blend the sections better as everyone hates RPGs with sudden changes in terane.
Secondly you need to make the ballence good inorder for people to like it.

 

[graystuff111]

Thaks DSG, thats what I was trying to say.

 

[suicidal-cookie]

lol thx, and btw:

the one with the sudden tile variation isnt myne -.-
the other screen is.... the first one is chris225's i beleive

 

[graystuff111]

Yah, the first one is alot better. Maby you should make different maps for different areas, like when you play team fortress 2 you join a game that is a spicific map.
That way you wouldn't have to worry that much about drastic tile variation.

:O i like that... like that one rpg... what is it? like ragnorock or sumthing....... but should each be an epic map :/ if so thats guna take a while....
ewwff, it just hit me.... i would have to make them ALL at the same time.... for any save load code to work they need to be the same,because items items would be added to each map made. and all the items would need to be in ALL the maps.... though i still thing teh idea is great (i might just go for it anyway)

that's no big deal, you can import all the junk from one map into another.

What everyone is saying is pretty spot on, but if you want to include different areas of vastly different terrain types on the one map you could just separate the areas by blocking them off (strategically and eye pleasingly of course) and just have entrances and exits to the areas via instant-move rects. This would make it flow like an oldschool (the best kind) of rpg where one zone is completely cut off from the next except via specific points, and it'll also allow you to scale the different areas for different level caps (ie. > level 10 can't enter the snow region basically because it's just too damn dangerous), increasing the replayability as newbs just can't free roam the entire map in their first go... they'll need to work for it.

 

[suicidal-cookie]

i do like the ideah of compleatly blocking them off, but i also enjoy them wehre they are COMPLEATLY open.... even when they are open, u still go through lvled beasts to get there, so in a scense it is still blocked off >.>
and on a side note-its just fun to watch sum noob get ALL the way across a map to leech..and they die its hilarious (unless ur the noob leeching then it sux)

and it is easy to copy and past and well... i guesss i could just modify and original map, making all the things i need in it stay and deleting everythign else so i know there the sme..... but then i would need to up date the previous versions when a new one is made >.> and the codes will be reset


OR do u guys know any save systems that dont totally reset codes when new data is inputed :/

 

[~Void~]

Yeah, the second one is terrible. The first is kinda crappy too, tbh.

But why the fuck are there letters written on the second one? Whoever writes with their terrain is a fucking idiot.

 

[suicidal-cookie]

ahh i like meh terain . and does that say super evil? didnt even notice

edit: not very supportive to peoples terain iz u >.> (about second)
and whats wrong with the frst? i'd like to know so i can improve^^

 

[Vegavak]

I was just wondering, where did you get your crayola crayon terrain brush?

I can't find any in my editor.

 

[graystuff111]

You should listen to void, he's one of the best terrainer's on the hive (I couldn't name a better one, but then again I don't look at the terrain board very much, like only once or twice). But maby some area's of improvement for him? I think the first one has potential, but my 5 year old little brother could have made the seconed one.

 

[suicidal-cookie]

lol, ok all i needed was a quick answer to a simple quistion >.>
not an evalution of my posted examples

ths ^^ for tellen me dough ill post eventually gettin evalutaion on my terain -- though with the skillz people have on this site, its not quite right im compared to them

You like meh terrain? Then I'm sure you also prefer getting C-'s in class and eating food that only tastes meh. The better the better. It may not make sense but it is true.

looking at his previous spelling I'm pretty sure he said "I liked 'my' terrain" lol.

Sometimes meh = me, like 'HALP MEH WIT MA TERRAINZIZZLE MA NIZZLES'

 

[suicidal-cookie]

mmmk, enough with the random terrain-bashing and gramaticaly critical comments... i just wanted opinions on the type of map i should make it was a simple A or B question
