Augh! Now see, this one looks height inverted to me. Oh well, I guess now both versions are out, so people can use whatever they're more comfortable with.

ok, one thing you MUST do to save us all a huge headache.

Lower your sun height

the tag is:
sundir= x, y, z

Make Y at about .2 or .3

It is waaay too high as it is now and throws perceptions off like crazy. Also, you should darken your shadows to make things more prominent.

Even better yet, if you have EE-Riverdale, just copy the [lighting] Section and paste it over yours. It will help immensely.

The previous image is only the minmap without lighting this is the map in the game with the sun and shadows and so on.

Awesome stuff, interesting map to play.

Cronos, your first few maps are on par with some of the best mappers in the community. I'm really looking forward to seeing some more of your work.

i...agree...with forb?

stranger things have happened

you could texture burn it too for all the people that don't run shadows - it would show up on minimap then. it's a PITA to line up the sun exactly with your burn though. for an example how to not do it correctly look at DSD

From your screenshots, it looks like your sun position does not match up with your texture. In other words, it looks like your map texture was rendered with the sun in one position, but the Spring settings put the sun in a totally different position.

It looks like there are shadows coming from both the north and the south, depending on where you're looking...
