Terraining Contest #5 - Winter Wonderland [Playable]

[Airandius]

Im in, and i have a pretty clear idea of what im doing.
Also i want to hear if it is ok if i use this model:Elk_male - The Hive Workshop - A Warcraft III Modding Site

Only imports from the UTM are allowed.

 

[Hawkwing]

heres the wip

I can't see a thing from that angle. It looks like some sort of rollercoaster to me.

 

[Belgarath]

You can ask for extra imports. Says so wherever.
Don't think I'll do anything for this competition.. winter playable ain't my thing.

 

[thedeathunterxx]

haha

im in.

so far some of the entries look pretty bland.

ill be putting my wips on different threads.
ill have your playable winter !

 

[bounty hunter2]

heres the wip

I like your WIP

 

[Childeric]

damn men just make a fucking terrain in wich u can move a damn footman that whont go throu trees and shit

Yay raid. You shall receive rep for your good common sense. =)

In the meantime, i shall get started. ('-'d)

 

[raid1000]

"Judging will be conducted in 'WC3: The Frozen Throne' itself, not the World Editor."
so the secret is in the gameplay i think

 

[thedeathunterxx]

ya but you can tell if something is playable / pathable or not.

just click the drop down menu that says " naval or ground pathability " and you see colored squares that says where you can walk and shit.

of course with my entry you actually cant tell unles you play it. havn't worked out the kinks yet..

 

[~Void~]

By 3d he means not a screenshot, but a map you can walk around in.

My terrain will be done, eventually, if I feel like getting around to it.

 

[raid1000]

im very curious to see what u gonna cook up ~Void~ >

Yes sure can. I'll add it to the list.

 

[Kwah]

Inspiration is easy. 30cm of snow outside.

 

[thedeathunterxx]

30 cm :O

wow here in new york , we got like 6 : /

 

[FamousPker49]

raid, it's not in the gameplay, considering there really isn't any game being played, but it will be viewed ingame so that a better idea of how the terrain looks can be achieved by just walking around in it. Like if you wanted to have a third person view or something, you might want to tweak the terrain to look better from that angle.

 

[Airandius]

30 cm :O

wow here in new york , we got like 6 : /

We don't even have snow, that's why I kinda feel sad when making a snowy terrain.
Damn global warming! Normaly we should have around 6 aswell, but that was 10 years ago.. NO more...

Does the map need to have snow in it? Or can you also make it more pre-winter.
So a bit snow, and some grass and some dirt etc? Like in the tiles of Lordean Winter Tileset, or Northerend.

 

[raid1000]

lets say my terrain has hills that are kinda high
can i insert a camera system like camera low mid and high so u can see anything?

 

[TheBlooddancer]

I feel depressed. Its allmost christmas, and there haven't been any snow yet, and i live in Goddamn DENMARK!

Anyhow, i suggest large mountains, everyone, and polar bears

That sounds fine.

Yep. That's one reason I said triggers are allowed.

 

[raid1000]

man this thread is dead for like 7 days
i cant see any submisions i could post mine but then everyone could "steal" my ideas

 

[Karghool]

well,k i supose that you must wait until the last day of submissions...
we have a lot of days to work on. happy 2009

 

[Gilles]

There are only 6 days left. I have a bad feeling we won't get many submissions. If any.

 

[Oziris]

Come on people, post something!!! If a member posts his wip until 12:00 i will give him rep+

 

[raid1000]

what time zone are u in? xD

 

[Gilles]

Pacific, but my internal clock lies somewhere in Australia or thereabouts.

 

[thedeathunterxx]

lol there is 6 days left?

so focused on other things right now...

has anyone submitted anything?

perhaps abandoned this contest before its archived...

 

[Volvox]

Huh 6 days... Now i gotta start working actually ^^

 

[Gilles]

Meh. maybe I'll join the contest and auto win!

I think we need a minimum of five to hold the contest. If we don't, I'll judge what's entered, and give some rep to the winner. Only one.

 

[Karghool]

don't say that there are going to be no submissions. i personally make something...
i just need some time and my opinion is that people should post their submissions in the last day, to avoid being copied by others competitors, (unless there is extra rep for early posts!)

 

[raid1000]

in this contest u need to post ur map aswell so thats why no1 is submiting anything cuz the "competition" could steal ur ideas

 

[Phoonix]

lol this contest is seeming to fail... yust like all the other terraining contest / yap same old story.

 

[Volvox]

Yeah, let's start bitching about it. If people are too busy or out of inspiration, it's okay, better close the contest than let judges loose time over fail terrains.

 

[Gilles]

lol this contest is seeming to fail... yust like all the other terraining contest / yap same old story.

Previous contests have been very successful actually.

 

[Naze]

Oh crap, I would LOVE to join this one, but I won't because I am travelling, so no WC3.

And Phoonix, I don't know why you said that, but as Gilles said, the previous were successful.

 

[Karghool]

do not end the contest man... there are some guys that are actually working

 

[Oziris]

Make a new contest? I would like to join the new contest, if there is going to be any new contest.

 

[Volvox]

There is not going to be any new contests, a meteor will hit earth and we are all going to DIE!!! No, really, what's wrong with this one?

 

[Oziris]

Well, as you see no one is posting any screen shots and the contest is going to end soon.

 

[Nbah]

Maybe the new approach at PLAYABLE terrain is harder for the people to acomplish?

 

[Erkowich]

Seemed like a good idea, since else you can just do really nice stuff without being able to use it in a map. To bad it's just a few days left, else i would have joined : (

 

[Volvox]

Not like we did not have time... I have to admit, i started the terrain, thought is was a cliche and scrapped it. Been too lazy to start again since then.

 

[Karghool]

ok let me post a screenshot to put an end to all this. it's unfinished

 

[Volvox]

Make igloos bigger, they should be as big as the house.

 

[Karghool]

no, you didn't understand the depth. the house is in a hill. yeah it seems as they were on the same level but they aren't...

 

[Volvox]

Yet still it seems unproportional. Well, as long as it looks good from the game camera, it's all good.

 

[Oziris]

Then make it more smaller -.-

 

[Gilles]

I think there's less interest in playable terrain, and the overall interest in terrain is decreasing.

I don't feel like making another contest ASAP, but we'll have in a while.
This one isn't canceled or anything, I just said that without enough entries, I don't want to give rewards.

 

[raid1000]

my want icon bad D:

 

[Wolle]

meh, it seems like i havent had any time to work on the terrain, bah. Anyways when i start in school again on monday i should be able to arse myself to finish it up.

 

[Gilles]

I'll give a little extension if people are finishing up.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

hey guess what .. i made it.. here's mine..

it might not be my final if you give a little extension .. but if not.. well i wont have the time to work on it again .. but anyway ..

i might send some other screenshots later. for those who are to lazy to look at my map

btw, i made my first triggers on that map.. so be gentil and do not critic me for no reason.
