Features and side walls

[AF]

Ok I can sorta have a go at features, but side walls? Say I place skyscraper ro a wall on my spring map design, how do I texture the side so it doesnt turn out all crappy looking and stretched without placin a feature down and label the building as indestructable? Or should I create immense features and wait for the features to be fully implemented? Or what about cliff faces? Or rock pillars? Coments please

make your map an island, and then just ignore the fact that ships can go to edge of the map,

Or you can have a ring world, but i already said that on a previus post. I cant think of anything new to say.... thats not good

No I didnt mean the side fo a world. If I place a large rctangular tower say a scyscraper in the centre of my map, According to the way it currently gets textured my scyscrapers sides are going to look all stretched and warped

I know exactly what you mean. You mean due to teh terrain being a flat top down picture, the steeper the height map is the more naff it will look as a 1 pixle dot will, from the top take one pixle, but from the side take 500 pixles and hence look naff and stretched out, due to it being on a near verticle elevation.

I would have though these would have to be features though, it would be cool if the engin could detcet the colour of the terain and then on inclines abouve a certain steepnees, add a different txture over the top of the original one. For different colours it would map a differnt "wall" texture.

I think is new pic is rather intuitive and interesting. A damn sight better than some of the others on here. Afterall I did liek the animated tree on blue background, not like any avatar I've seen before ont hsi forum

[aGorm]

Its just a temp, I didn't want that tree no more, so i dug oput an old one... I'll probablie spend some time on a new realy cool animated one... (my mates think I should bring back the "G" but you guys aint seen it...)
