New map: Four Castles
« on: 6 February 2009, 02:00:07 »
This map includes unwalkable cliffs, thanks to titi, who posted the idea.
The AI hasn't had any problems ... yet.
The walkable slopes are a bit steep.

WARNING: DO NOT PLAY WITH "TROPICAL" TILESET

Four Castles

So you did it too :).  ( https://forum.megaglest.org/index.php?topic=4103.msg22202#msg22202 )
The next megapack will include usable custom objects 4 for exactly these cliffs!!
So you still have stone / roads available.

Is it playable with glest 3.1.2 too?
The camera position was very near to the ground  with glest 3.1.2.
Which height factor did you use for the map?

Height factor 2.
With height factor 1 you started underground.
I play it with GAE (you can move camera freely, and zoom out (and in)).
When playing with normal glest you can't see enough.

Isn't it custom object 5?
Yeah, I stole your idea, sorry.

nono, there is really no need to say sorry. In fact, all of us gave a bit to realize this idea.

- Trappin asked for snowy hills
- I thought about it and made a first demo
- you finally did it :)

Very nice work Idanwin  :o 

I'm curious as to how you managed to get the textures to not look stretched  ???

I tried to do this by using actual models as cliffs but it failed. There was no way to orientate the cliffs and lots of z-fighting. 

I'll fix up the tropical tileset because I think this will be a popular map!!

Great!!!
I like it. Should have thought of it myself...
I'm VERY glad to see that you posted a picture. Hopefully this will inspire others to do so as well.

PS: Took me a moment to find the download link, before I accidently hovered over the text and discovered it! ;D

I don't want to go OT, but this would be a prime example of a good use of my special object ideas (If you want to read it).  All that it would be is exactly the same map except some excitement in the center.  The special objects help make it exciting, because I plan for them to be both manually placed and randomly placed.  Then it's always exciting to play, even if you've played it a million times before.
