Staredit Network -> Terrain -> Structure/Tower thing

I was working on my map when I thought that these tower things were cool and decided to put ramps on them. Then I thought they looked good, and I am just wondering if you like them.

I know there a little blocky, but there isnt much you can do about it.

you messed up with the elevation of the two buildings. are you sure that you cant cut down on any of the blockiness?

I got rid of the blockiness ass much as a could


and what do you mean messed up on the elevation? do you mean it goes from X tiles high up to X tiles high (goe up to same level)? Ifso, its supposed to be a bridge/confuse you.

If you want you can try to make it less blocky...

Yeah, it looks like it is different heights, but it isnt. So the ramps are actually just going sideways, no up or down. So if you have a unit on one, it doesnt change the vision. Depending on the map it won't matter.

Its just a scrn of a map Im making (most my terrain pics are from this map, if there badlands and no sprites)

I would just post the map and say "MAP WITH TERRAIN COME AND TELL ME IF YOU LIKE!" but its about 1/2 (terrain) done. little less.

And for a little more info on this thing, it wont matter, because its another one of them dumb Movie Contest maps. Only diff is its not just a bunch of features jumbled together in a giant garbage heap. And has extended terrain happy.gif

I should put a picture of a banana in it.

Actually, let's see, extended terrain, movie contest map, and a banana picture. Yep, jumble of features.

Actually, terrain is not a feature (im talking about options and things you can do, like give to ally comp, etc.)

The bridge looks pretty nice but the ramp on the bottom building is way too short.

The intersection of the red lines is where the bottom of the ramp should be with the angle you're using.

And to the more obvious of the errors...

ÜBER-BLOCKY!

I know for a fact that this figure could be enhanced ten-fold and made look so much more attractive if you would merely work on the blockiness.

I made a building that was a lot like this in my "Unforgiven Souls" map series (incomplete)—although, there was only one building.

I will look for the thread to possibly post the screenshot w/ less blockiness.

I'm not making a ramp that long, and I took care of the blockiness best I could.
and also note that when I first posted I said I know this is blocky.

I know there a little blocky, but there isnt much you can do about it.


Find me a tile to blend structure side to structure side and I will use it (the thing around the top were to also make it less blocky, but they also created there own problems; but fixed a greater one)

If it were my job, I would go into Starforge and search for one. Unfortunately for you, though, it's not my job—so I'll leave you with that chore.

I just suggest you work on it a bit more or lock this topic until you decide to.

I did look for one to make it fit better. Nothing is there. If it were jungle I could find one; but this is badlands and structure is a unique terrain; so its kinda hard if you manage to find one.
(Note I have used every single badlands tile (except null) in maps before; so I have gone through them all and there isn't one; and if there is its probably one you wouldn't think of)




Edit: Towers Made By LegacyWeapon. Same thing, (left one) except for the base, and the 2nd tower, and the ramps. I just found this. biggrin.gif same blendings (not the green building)

No offense, to either of you for that matter, but your blendings just aren't that good.

They can, and I know for a fact, be blended better than they currently are.

Only way I found kinda sucked and made it not look like a structure, but more of some strange wall...
