So you want to make a map, someone else does for you?! :lol:
Anyways, if you want to contact especially Ramza, Pm him and for everything else use the Requests forum.

Frozenfire3DHmmm. . .Good man ramza, i'm creating a new map, something like a war map and i kinda like created a whole lot of dumb ass abilities to be used. the only problem . .i cant find a proper terrain!!! So i'm seeking your advice. Something like two castles or something. one at the north, one at the south and then players just battle to take control of the opponent's base. Any help? Anyone?


I could only say:
- Download WEU (World Editor Unlimited) to be able to use 16 different textures in one map and make nicer cliffs.
- Use a huge variation of doodads
- Variate your ground textures (you can 16 of them in WEU)
- Resize your models to make them look realistic
- place lil environement doodads like mushrooms
- Make cutom things using several doodads without pathing

This one is of part of the forest surounding it:

My aim is to not use cliffs at all, i think they look ugly and take away from the terrain around it.

@ Silvermoon: To have Sky ingame, use the trigger action "environment - set sky to..."

@ ragingspeedhorn: That looks really good! I especially like the house at the right of the first pic of the town... could you post a pic showing it completely? Also the insides of the houses are well done, I wonder how you will do it ingame. :)

Some more pictures of the town will come soon when we have finnished more of it. The secret behind some of the buildings is that we have sometimes taken several buildings and putted them together so it looks like 1. That gives alot of possibilitys to mix stuff to make it look cool :)

The inside of the house is easily done, when people "enter" a house they just get moved instantly with some special effects showing. Your view is not gonna be normal wc3 view but some custom cameras so it looks good ingame also :D

The tiles could need some more variation, some decorations with some other city tiles etc. It all makes a difference and makes it look less boring.
