I decided to scrap that map, because I didn't make the height map.


Below are screen shots of the completed map:

Can't the grey bottom of valley be flatter? It looks like half of mods will have issues placing buildings, and for the other half I'll lose time terraforming and have those ugly square on the relief all over the place.

Im goona be frank Genblood...

THIS IS YOUR BEST EVER TEXTURE.

In fact this is the best looking map I think you have ever done, and I can't wait for you to finish it.

Just make sure theres room to build like zwzsg said (looks fine to me, but what do I know)

Oh, some rocks would be a great adition I think.

I like the texture

I'll fix the issue .. I'll make it flatter ...

No, don't make it flatter.

If a mod has super low crap ass buildslopes, that is the mods problem, not yours.

In this case buildings flattening the ground will be a real problem.

erm... am I the only one that is thinking "hey, this is FA's height map from the map making tutorial!"?

This map is basiclly FA's canyons, isn't it? just a bit different texturing and so on (nice texture btw ).

Correct it's the height map from the example ...

I've changed it a little to suit my taste. Here
is the orginal height:




Here is the one I'm using for my map.




So, should I release it or trash it ... It's done ...

moar featurez.

I think you should ask FA, it's his heightmap...

Hi ALL,

I decided to scrap that map, because I didn't make the height map. So,
I decided to make a desert type map that's 8x8. Basically a 2 vs. 2 map.
You can also use this map as a one on one map too ... :)
Their is a good supply of metal and wind is from 0 to 22 ...

Download it and try it out ... Post your comments after you tried it out...

you should be proud, you are making a lot of progress as a mapper genblood.

my only suggestions would be to use larger height differences and to use some shadows on your hillsides.

large height diffs and more contrast between the different sand colors would be good. or have some rocky ground, it helps making the map look less boring

And greater contrast and detail in both your texture and heightmap.

In texture yes, but not in heightmap, there are enough rocky/hilly maps already. Flat maps are much more fun.

PIMPLE MOUNTAINS ARE MY LEAST FAVORITE MAPS! Aroogh...
