he was replying to the post that was above him...but i like the terrain but i think water kind of gives it the swampy mucky feel.

I could add some pylon sprites for water. As for the bushes, there's only like 4 different bush types in the badlands tileset to use, so unless I use bush sprites, that's all there is. With the sprites in there anyway, the repetiion goes away.

One thing I discovered: Some of the Ice tree sprites have a cool "mucky" look to them due to the palette colors, which works well in a swamp.

Hmm, I have another idea...

Personally, I don't think these designed can be enhanced anymore without making them look incredibly corny.

They're all adequately equal in originality and great-looking!

Don't change a thing.

Those are all really nice. But i bet they lag like mad in the game

I vote DK to.

I voted Deathknight2004, but I think that was the wrong place to put my vote.

No offense by this, but his is mainly just flashy sprites. It looks more like some sort of path in a rainforest and hardly resembles a swamp.

Grizzly(B2BF)'s is by-far the most swampy-looking posted in this thread—followed up by Rantent's.

Unfortunately, I have never seen and/or heard of a swamp that is near volcanic terrain.

The wildlife and greenery quite frankly can't life in those harsh and blazing conditions.

But, they will thrive once the volcanos die out. Volcanic soil is extremely nutruient rich. Uh... I might try a twilight swamp... just for kicks.

Mine wasn't really supposed to be exactly 100% logical, but notice no trees near the hole? there a bit away. And its just a unique idea. Who woulda thot of a volcano swamp??

No one, because it is a stupid idea. wink.gif

Trigga the person above you said that he thought Tux's would look better IF he added barracks (wtf is the plural of barracks?). I like the look Tux, but you can see up onto the cliffs in some parts, which kills the elevation look.

Its not a stupid idea. I was just thinking of something no one else would have.




Isnt barracks the plural? look it up the dictionary. A dictionary has a reason you know.

A Barracks, Barrack, Barracks, Barrackses... I dunno. I think Barracks is plural, and A Barracks or Barrack is singular.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Deathknight on 2005-04-20 at 15:50:04
Doesn't the name clearly state Terran Barracks in the game? Maybe barracks refers to the whole building and barrack is only part of it? I don't know. But wouldn't it be like saying "mass" is plural or something(Bad example, sorry)? It ends in an S, and other words end in an S.

ANYWAY.....
Ugh I have nothing to say related to this topic.

You guys are arguing over if barracks is plural... offtopic.gif

Addition : Death Knight has negative minerals??? whoa

We weren't arguing, we were discussing it.

In any case, back to the topic at hand...

This is my new swamp (Swampy pit?), even though I gave it a try with the other one, but I guess this looks more wet? =P

Pretty nice, Chronophobia.

I think I've seen more than one that are already very similar to that though, so I'm not "amazed" by it.

Good try, in any case.

My vote has changed to the swamp made by Theoretical Human. It's positively amazing and resembles the true aura of a swamp.

Great work man, once again—I say Hall of Famer.

I think that the way that you designed it makes it look more like a traversable river, instead of a swamp. Perhaps if you expanded it to make it more rounded, and added areas which didn't include such water depth to give changes in the swamp's appearance.
