If you're ever making an installation map and you have no room for a door, you usually just get ticked off and make the area bigger, right? This can of course make the terrain less attractive so I came up with a very simple... possibly too simple solution, now watch as I squeeze this installation door into this small area!

Here you can see the door not fitting in the area.

Here you can see me using StarForge to create an outline for the door.

Here you can see my finished door back in SCXE.

I know it isn't much, but it might be useful in an installation map when you need every little bit of space, or just can't bare to have to carve up more terrain for your door. So this is Xeno saying "meh".

Not to be against you but, I used a different way of doing the in starforge.
I placed the door since Starforge let me place it anywhere and the excess door that was on the wall I covered it up with doodads or sometimes sprite that blend in with terrain. It has the same use and all.
I congratulate you on being able to do it in SCXE

Now here's a challenge: Make a Half-Door. Make it so that doors are only half the normal width but functions as it is a full door.(It dosen't need to be in SCXE).

Hah, my method owns yours.

Interesting, but it doesn't help all that much since it only shortens door area by 1 tile. Nice concept though.

I thought the door terran in sf was jsut tileset ...

well now i know

Very nice, so the sf terrain will make it so you can place the doodad or did you just place the unit door on the terrain to make it look more real? (at school can't try myself)

I just placed the unit door on the terrain; you can't do it exactly with SF, but with SCMDraft 2 you can line it up perfectly.

hmm good idea i like it.
