Staredit Network -> UMS Assistance -> Multi-Layers - Flat Top?
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Pyro_Maniak14 on 2006-03-28 at 21:38:21
Well I know how to do the multi layers. It's pretty easy. When I say 'multi-layers' I mean when you have elevated dirt instead of high dirt and then you blend the rest into the dirt terrain to make a cliff or another layer. What I wanted to know was if it was possible to do the TOP side of the 'cliff' instead of always doing the bottom. Like... for a cliff to be 'over-looking' something instead of looking down upon. For example... you have your 1x1 isom tile. The top of the diamond is taken away and replaced by dirt then the bottom and left and right edges are replaced with dirt cliff peices. Is there anyway to do this vice-versa by replacing the TOP of the diamond with dirt cliff peices?

I do not know, the only thing I can think of is to test the idea, thats even if I'm getting what your trying to do, I thing your trying to say can i make a plato, and then put a square patch of dirt on the top and replace one of the cliff edges to make a ramp. If that is what your trying to do, I'd think that you can. If you couldn't, then I'd say to try using the walkable null terrain instead of the dirt and maybe that would work if the normal dirt patch didn't.


Actually re-reading what your saying I think you mean to do the opposite making a top cliff on a normal dirt terrain, then I would say yes.

Im talking about this... If all you get is the Alt Codes then just:
-Save Target As
-Choose All Files
-Save In Pictures or Wherever You Want To Save It...
Now if you look at the pic... its pretty straight forward... I want the left part flipped over to make the top part of the right side like that! Is it possible?
By the way... Nice terrain Kept_Wheat and Kenoli...

This is just something you would do in opposite testing yourself. I've gotten this response myself, and its not helpful really but it is just a matter of trying it just in reverse, your not really questioning in a "how" manner, as it seems, your asking could you, and this is just something u try and see, its really not an "asking" question.

Actually I'm asking if there is even a way since you use the coastal dirt pieces and replace them with the high dirt cliff pieces... And since the TOP side of the coastal dirt is used for water... So actually I'm asking... Is there anyway you CAN do this?

Sure you can, its just gonna take you a long time with scmd2 or something similar to blend it all and make it look isometrical. (that is if im getting what your asking...)

ADDITION:
(btw those are 2 really cool terrains wheat and kenoli)

I used water, dirt, and high dirt. Then replaced all the water with dirt.
SCMDraft2's copy/paste functions make it all very easy.

As, I said it is a matter of testing it out and figuring if you can make it look somewhat believable, I Didn't really feel the need to do this, but I'm trying to be helpful.

Its not outstanding, but I believe that is what your asking.

YES! THAT!!! Where do you find those on the Tileset Index menu on SCMDraft2? I've looked everywhere for them but I guess I never really looked... I just skimmed through so I passed over them...

ADDITION:
Note: I'm using Jungle terrain.

TileSet Index, But If you want to access them easier Starforge will let you place the terrain on the palate for as long as it stays open map to map, you can also save terrain.

The edge of the cliff is a tile from the bridge doodad, where the bridge meets the dirt.
Bridge is alllll the way at the bottom.
