Re: WIP: Deneba: Mount Meru
As to the first req statement, it is already like that. And there were no animations that came with the download.

Re: WIP: Deneba: Mount Meru
Perhaps I will work on that when I solve my problem about the hovernaut. Does anyone know where I can get the animation files?

Re: WIP: Deneba: Mount Meru
I don't think you need some? Otherwise they would have been included. It should work when you create the all.req.

Alright, then I hope this works.
UPDATE
Guess what happened?
Ok, what's next, because it's still the same as the last screens + vehicles.

Re: WIP: Deneba: Mount Meru
Still too flat, still too open, and the spires have a very odd texture pattern.

Re: WIP: Deneba: Mount Meru
The terrain looks a bit weird. Did you use a detail texture? You should also burn the terrain because it's too bright.

Re: WIP: Deneba: Mount Meru
Um, youve got some very unuasual "cough"bad"cough", texture paterns, try making them a little more alike, not so much variation, still to open.....darthtyren wrote:Fiodis wrote:Hmm...could you post an aerial view of the map as it currently is?darthtyren wrote:What do you suggest?Fiodis wrote:Still too flat, still too open, and the spires have a very odd texture pattern.Hidden/Spoiler:

Re: WIP: Deneba: Mount Meru
Taking care of the "openness" is last on my list. I'll see what I can do about thse textures.THEWULFMAN wrote:Um, youve got some very unuasual "cough"bad"cough", texture paterns, try making them a little more alike, not so much variation, still to open.....darthtyren wrote:Fiodis wrote:Hmm...could you post an aerial view of the map as it currently is?darthtyren wrote:What do you suggest?Fiodis wrote:Still too flat, still too open, and the spires have a very odd texture pattern.Hidden/Spoiler:

Re: WIP: Deneba: Mount Meru
Well, I've seen a texture pattern like that work well for a desert, once.
Anyway, by aerial I meant top-down, showing the entire game area; basically what you would build a minimap off of. So, ah, I suppose I'm asking: could we see a map of your map?

Re: WIP: Deneba: Mount Meru
*facepalm*
Duh! The hovernaut does not need animations because it just moves around.
Anyway, I think your number one priority should be adding more objects. That's a really, really empty-looking map.

You don't think I know that? But if I can do anything about the textures, I'd like to do that first.CressAlbane wrote:Anyway, I think your number one priority should be adding more objects. That's a really, really empty-looking map.

Re: WIP: Deneba: Mount Meru
That can't possibly be your whole map. You've got a hovernaut sticking off the bottom end and a huge gap in the left side.

Re: WIP: Deneba: Mount Meru
That terrain bug comes from trying to blend more than three different textures together on the terrain in ZE.
Sadly, I think you'll have to re-do it.
I keep emphasizing the objects because you said you were 90% done with them. Adding objects should come before terrain textures because the terrain influences a lot less than the objects. The objects affect the way the terrain blends with everything else, the planning and barriers, and gameplay setup, so they should come now before the map is too far along.
Take a look at the stock maps, such as Mos Eisley and Tantive 4, they are all much more compact than the open-field style of your map. Even maps like Endor and Kashyyk have things like bridges and huts taking up the open space in the map. Naboo: Plains had less objects but it's terrain had steep hills to compensate. Adding objects NOW makes more sense in the gameplay department, and that is one of the most important factors determining how fun a map is to play.
Please note that I am NOT attacking you OR your map, if your really want to keep the map the open way it is now, than do so. However, adding more objects will make your map feel more close, neat, and fun to play..

Re: WIP: Deneba: Mount Meru
Gladly, the only part about your post that I got mad at was
Also, it's really hard trying to find objects that will fit with this map besides the spires and the Geonosis rocks, and I have placed about as many crates as I'd like. Are there any in particular that you would suggest?
I can't re-do it without completely starting over, and that is something that will never happen. Because if it does, then I will have to close this WIP and, after all my hard work, start over once again.CressAlbane wrote:That terrain bug comes from trying to blend more than three different textures together on the terrain in ZE.
