Should I use this aquaduct in my team's map(note: this is only is only a rough draft)?

Here's the pic:

Yes or no(I DONT want a rating)
(keep in mind that I'm aware of blockyness and excess sprite usage)

Probably look better if you got rid of those stone like things and maybe add some more trees and bushes around it

Well Jello im a bit suprised. Usually i see you post and i get alot of good terrain, but here im seeing just a sprite mess. My suggestion is keep working with the blends as best you can, get the water part straightened out, then focus on how to make it go onto land smoothly. I know you can fix this up man, ive seen your work.

It doesn't looks like anything. Just a bunch of sprites. I say no. tongue.gif

I say yes, if you connect it with something in the bottom-right, so it doesen't look chopped off.

you stole my idea -_- but anyway no it doesnt really look like an aquaduct, you will have to get some imagination to help it along.

Ye-nay

Clear some sprites, and do what Jammed said...

I'd say no, as DEAD said. If I'd make an aquaduct (isn't the spelling aqueduct?) I'd make it much more spectacular. Get inspiration from real aquaducts, still, I see it hard to make one like this one I am giving a link to, but I'd make a try if I where you mate!

Some of you aren't saying yay or nay... I know how to make it better, so just yays and nays now. Also, I said this was just a rough draft, meaning it is incomplete and I know it.

he he, looks good jello cant wait till your done wit da terrain so everything gets moving, any ways, the reason it chops off is cause he's gonna put trees every now and then with a hole in it so you can walk through it giving it the illsion that your going under it.

YAY! keep up the good work jello, and get rid of the stone piller tops at the end in the water, maby you could use some sprites from the isstalation terrain to make it look like there r pips coming off it that go into the water, or from some sprites from some other terrain type, just mess around, you'll eventually get it.

like i said, use it, yes.

I agree... More of what idea?
Report, edit, etc...Posted by WoodenFire on 2006-09-22 at 17:55:36
Make the bottom left ruin faces, all mini-sized. You should know what I mean... just scoot over the ruin bases tighter to the tops... it wil make the height problem lessen.

What you see as a height problem, is exactly want I want. I want it to look as much like a real aqueduct(thanks crono for spelling tongue.gif ) as possible. You see, aqueducts aren't the same height whole way, they gradually get shorter or taller when they travel over slopes and dips and things.

Omg. That's so sprite-filled that I can't see what's under it!

I think I might use some of your ideas, but I don't think our map can afford having lag city w/ 70+ sprites in one 20x20 section. tongue.gif
