If you need a terrainer for your project I'd be happy to help. I have terrained multiple of my friends maps and have a knack for playable terrain.

If you want to see my work prior to asking me for help, pm me or post here and I will send you screenshots.

Things I will do that are staples for good terrains are:

+No blizzard cliffs
+No blizzard trees
+Good tile/height variations
+Import and find custom doodads nessecary

If you want to see me terrain a specific thing to test my skill before recruiting me, just post here and i wil deliver.

Ex: [Tim]: I'm making a medieval map, can you terrain a castle for me so I can see if your good/bad?

Anyway, so yah. If you have a project and lack a terrainer, I'm your man!

Edit: I cooked up some rough shots to give a sample of what I can do. There made quickly and roughly but give a basic example of my abilities. Note 1 and 2 are from a playable forest terrain i was making for friend map, before i polished with doodads and additional shurbbery.

Good thing I copied & save the description. :grin:

Copied:
"Hey I like your terrain and need you to make me a terrain.

First, a little about my project:
It is a no-lane AoS combining elements of RPG.
You get to choose your own Hero and its abilities that you choose from Skill Trees. Think Diablo 2, but every Hero has access to every Skill Tree. There's also a bit more to it, but that's enough for skills.
There are also many neutral buildings: Casino, which allows you to gamble gold & items, Bank, which allows you to invest gold, and Rides 'R' Us, which allows you to purchase vehicles (vehicles are only functional if your Hero is inside it).
There are also many more cool & unique features, but I think it's a long enough description. :)

TErrain
I need a MAGICAL-LOOKING CITY! I recommend you look into Dalaran/Cityscape tilesets. The PLAYABLE MAP AREA MUST BE 140 WIDE x 120 HEIGHT! This is VERY important! However, because the city will be laterally symmetrical, you only have to terrain HALF of it! So even though you'll have to give it a playable area of 140x120, you will only terrain about 70x120 (half). Once half of the city is finished, you'll just have to flip (horizontally + vertically) it to the other side so that it looks symmetrical and add a few finishing touches to if, of course.

Now, you're the terrainer, so I'll give you a lot of freedom to do whatever you want. All I ask is that you don't make the team's base any smaller/bigger than they are at right now (a little bigger/smaller is OK I suppose). Also, I'd like some sort of town square in the center of the map.
So be creative! Maybe have a graveyard, maybe ramparts around the city, maybe a ghetto, maybe a shopping mall! It's all up to you! Make it interesting to play on! :)

Credits:
To make sure you and your work are noticed, here is what I offer to all helpers:
- Your name in the "Credits" quest log.
- Your name in the rolling credits when the map is over (like in movies).
- Your name in the Statue of Heroes. The Statue of Heroes is a statue in the center of the map that everyone can click on at any time. It displays helpers' names in the form of items. So you'll have to choose an icon that will represent you so I can add it to the statue. If you don't know what I really mean, look at the demo map and type "iseedeadpeople".
- Either (a) a unique item. Unique items are items that can only exist once in the map. When sold or destroyed, they are recycled and can be purchased again. OR (b) a set of items. Set items are sets of items that give additional bonuses when all the pieces are equipped, like in Diablo 2.

Have fun! And remember, be creative!
If you have any questions, contact me. Better safe than sorry. :)"

Link to the terrain I was working on (unfinished): http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?wdowwggjmwl
Just to give you a slight idea of what to do.

Also I suggest you read the instructions twice do you don't make any mistakes or forget anything. :)

kk im back

Currently this is how I plan on finishing terrains~

First - DahnThan (70% complete, will finish tonight)

Second - Adiktuz (his map is small and wont take long, may also finish to night)

Third - SpEtNeZz (he sends map tomorrow so that works perfectly)

Fourth - Lightstalker (yours seems the hardest and will take the longest to complete, but I'll probably start on Saturday)

This list is more for my organization then for yours :p, if I forgot you please PM me.

IT may seems I'm undergoing many projects but do not worry, I have a lot of free time on my hands and quality will not be spared.

Oh man dan im finishing yours as we speak, its looking dope.

Update: Okay I'm lazy tonight :p Dan I just about finished your map, then got tired and now am deciding to go to be lol :p. All I need to do is the last area between the middle and bottom lane and I am done. I already have its layout, I just need to fill with eye catchers and such. Then I just need to lay down pathing blockers and I'm finished. Sorry for my tiresome excuses, but I'm coming off the holiday lag. It will be finished and I grant you 3 lashes for my tardiness.

He told me he had mine DONE, he doesn't reply and now it's like 2 weeks later, he told me his computer blew up and he lost it and that i should hate him ... uhh ... wtf?

I think he said he was open to terraining so that'd we'd all +rep him and then he'd never do our terrains. After all, we have no proof the terrain is his...

Sounds like a good scam to me.

Anyway, I'm going to work on my own terrain.

@Static: even if he needs more time, he should still reply to PMs and VMs saying he needs a bit more time.

That or my computer crashed, I lost wc3 and don't have cd key still so I have to re buy the game. I'm sorry this happened and you troll me all you want. Ask a GM to remove my rep if you want, idc, nothing I could do to stop it.

Edit: Also I'm quitting WC3 terraining, as school starts soon and I have lost inspiration. Good luck with your maps.
