The Ultimate Terraining Map 3.0

[HappyTauren]

tint stuff red and it will work.

 

[Trialtm]

This is absolutely amazing! i wish i would have known this BEFORE i started one of my maps! props to all the authors!

You never want to start a map using the UTM. I did once, it screwed me over. You wind up having a whole wack of models that you don't use and they just eat space. It's much better to import them from UTM. Unless you are terraining for art. Then use UTM.

UTM is useful for cinematics though.

But yes, you usually do have a lot left over, but you can always fix that. It just takes a while. But it is probably easier than just adding each one manually and assigning it values etc. in the object editor.

 

[Gilles]

Also nothing has pathing. I spent and eternity trying to make everything have it's proper pathing.

 

[Deathcom3s]

Lol, that sucks Gilles.

Yeah, it's easier to just delete uneeded models than add each one individually.

I have a favor to ask you DungeonM, I sent you a PM about it.

[Gilles]

No way. It's easier to add than remove. I did it your way, and it's hell. I used like thirty, and I had to remove a hundred, probably a few hundred (I never finished, gave up pretty fast).

The annoying part is mainly the object editing. Deleting is fast, except for the stupid f'n "Do you wish to Delete this?" sh*t. I mean, it is sometimes a life saver, but rarely.

I'm not sure exactly what part of the editor you're deleting stuff in but I've found that in most cases the enter key is set to default to "yes". This means if you're going on a deleteing spree you can just hold down the enter key while you delete things and you won't have to do the mousework.

I'm with Gilles. If I am going to do some terrain exercise, I use the UTM, I take the screens, then I just close it without saving. If I'm going to do something I'll save, I import the doodads I need from the UTM to the map I want.

It is easier to export stuff from the UTM and import them to the map I want, then having to delete the doodads that will be useless.

I think u should put the utm ver 4.0 becous someone people want to use the older utm for ther rpgs but this new utm is very big so the other utm was 1,5 mb so it is usefull for rpg get my point so that people dont search this forum for 3hours looking for doodads and importing them and then 60% of them dont work and then they ask why isn't this model working....

Uploaded and done. Check first post.

 

[Oziris]

Good thank you +rep

 

[ArneXis]

So i like download this and use all the models after giving credit to the authors in my map?

 

[Gilles]

I think if you give full credit for the UTM that should suffice.

 

[The_wand_mirror]

Euhm the version stuff is kinda confusing.

So 3.0 has more models then 4x because its size is much larger right? (Seems quite logical but ok)

 

[Gilles]

Not sure why we had 4, but now were back at 3. Yes, 3 has more models.

 

[Ripoff]

I took a doodad tree from this map, implented it on my own. And then 90% of my "Environment" of the doodads I could choose disappeared. gone. On my map that I've been working on for weeks. Great....

 

[Gilles]

Just restart your computer. I've had that happen, it's just a small glitch that shouldn't harm your map.

 

[Ripoff]

oh cool, Thanks!

 

[AvEnGeR87]

that map is awsome! but if you make a next version can you put custom units and structures if you can

 

[Gilles]

This would take up far too much room. This is soully for terrain, not maps.

 

[AvEnGeR87]

yeah i know but unit display on the map would be nice

 

[Gilles]

Unit display on the map? What?

 

[Huurka]

Will this be updated?

I mean if someone works with it, importing new doodads and such?

 

[Xan]

This map certainly works wonders!
Is there anyway I can use everything in it on a map I have already made?

 

[Gilles]

Yep. Import it all one by one.

Although you don't need everything. Just import what you need.

Remember, Imports != Good maps.

 

[Xan]

Thanks ... looks like I've got a lot of clicking to do

 

[sgtsambo]

Bravo my friend, An excellent addition and evolution to terraining...

 

[iPeez]

This is so fuckings good work! (soory for words ) + Rep I love it!

 

[BlinkBoy]

Wait a second, I'm the Real Author of the Water Tiles, and I'm not even credited.

Here are the 3dsmax 5 files as a prove, and a Tool created for editing the Tiles and changing the acceleration of them.

I lost the rest of the files when reformatting the computer, but this are the most important

I'm also uploading some water tubes that I was going to make, but never finished them.

 

[Gilles]

If you really want to, edit the UTM with proper credits and I'll upload it. Or you can wait and change it for the next version.

 

[BlinkBoy]

Just modify the first post, for the map, I can wait until the next version, .

[Btw, anyone is free to edit those max files and finish the water tubes]

 

[Gilles]

I added you to the list.

 

[Supercrazymc]

I dont know how u got the pacience to do this, you deserve 5 +reps for this, ya helped me a lot!

can some1 help me? i wanna learn to rotate the cam so i can take a nice pic from a nice angle, already did a terrain. pm me
edit: sorry for double post, didnt notice

 

[Gilles]

There's a nice

button you can use to merge your posts. I did it for you this time.


To answer your question: You hold down Ctrl and Right Click, then drag.

 

[NinjasDontFight]

Can we have special appointed people (3-5). Who will update this every few weeks? Like one of them will spend 1 week, adding as much as 0-infinite models. Then update it on the HWS... then the next person will spend a week updating. So their is no confusion on whos working on it, and people can get regular updates with new models.

 

[Gilles]

People are working on it on warcraft3 creations.

 

[tomv8]

err yeah the star particles looks like my model.... glittery stars - The Hive Workshop - A Warcraft III Modding Site
