NOXAS1 Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Hello I am NOXAS1 and me and a few others worked on the last community map. It was such and enjoyable experience that I would like to (With Wildfire games blessing of course) start a community project topic that will allow people to work together and make maps for new releases or map packs. As I said it was a lot of fun for me working with the community and I hope other people will enjoy it as much as I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOXAS1 Posted September 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 I guess I'm waiting for the ok first. If this idea is approved I would like to make a map of the places where the Norse came from or maybe a Britain map and pretend that the Saxon's (punny because that's my name) are invading or have an inter-tribal war? Any other ideas welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur_D Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 I don't think you need anyone's blessing to do maps; I guess if the quality's there they will include it (with your blessing, actually ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOXAS1 Posted September 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 ok well first order of business then lol if you could even call this business. ok so first off any ideas of the biome of the map? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pureon Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 How about doing something similar to the Verdon Gorge in south-eastern France?You could build it so that the players can only navigate on the top layers, leaving the lower canyons uncrossable.

feneur Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Ah, that's a nice idea. Like "Life Canyon" (As opposed to Death Canyon which is set in a more arid climate I mean ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOXAS1 Posted September 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Ah, that's a nice idea. Like "Life Canyon" (As opposed to Death Canyon which is set in a more arid climate I mean )Great idea I think, so no movement between canyons what so ever?

Pureon Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Great idea I think, so no movement between canyons what so ever?The canyons don't have to span the entire map - each player starting position should be reachable by all other players. Edit: For example you could have a large deep canyon in the middle (gray areas), but it can be walked around on the top layers (green):That's just one idea, you guys should decide what you would like to work on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOXAS1 Posted September 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Ah I see ok, well this would be a good start to learn how to do canyons for me at least lol. Anyone got other ideas besides a canyon? I will work on a layout of a canyon so no worries lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOXAS1 Posted October 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Ok it seems that I have no idea on how to start the canyon and I keep messing up. Any ideas to make it easier on me? Or instructions on how? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asmartgoat Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Here is all the information you need:http://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/Atlas_User%2527s_GuideYou might want to start off by editing other's maps? and use the tools to ruin fix their maps. xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos_Ruler Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Hey NOXAS. I committed a blank map called "Gorge" that would be useful for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOXAS1 Posted October 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Hey NOXAS. I committed a blank map called "Gorge" that would be useful for you. Cool thanks man. Um its in the SVN I'm guessing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOXAS1 Posted October 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 It's a perfect start, thank you for the head start. I shall do my best to get it like that picture (and still have good playability) I shall look up more pictures of that environment as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yodaspirine Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 There is some pictures here or here. Actually, my graphic card is out of order, but I hope to contribute soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos_Ruler Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 If you make the gorge inaccessible, I recommend making the trees and other objects within it simple actors. :)I've done that a few times on maps where I've placed trees in inaccessible spots.

NOXAS1 Posted October 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 great pics and idea i'll be sure to use them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOXAS1 Posted October 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Ok I got a draft up on one corner of the gorge and added units for eye candy. Still not as good as Mythos with the units in battle pics still I hope to hear some good ideas and criticism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yodaspirine Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 I found a list of flora near Verdon river(Mont Ventoux). There is Aleppo Pine, Scots Pine, Maritime Pine (there is a lot of them on the coast), "Pins à crochets" (in mountains), Pubescent Oak, Sessile Oak, Kermes Oak, St Lucie cherry, Holm Oak, Acer monspessulanum, Beech, Common Whitebeam, Common Ash.A Common Whitebeam.A Holm Oak.Maritime Pine. It prefers sand and acid soils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos_Ruler Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Probably best to stick with the Temperate biome terrains, but that's just my preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOXAS1 Posted October 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 Hmmm interesting . How is what I am doing now though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yodaspirine Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Probably best to stick with the Temperate biome terrains, but that's just my preference.Yeah, I didn't care of the introduction: north side of Mont Ventoux is temperate and south side is mediterranean. Now I have to sort which is temperate or mediterranean :/But I found a interressant sentence : "Le chêne vert est l'espèce emblématique du midi méditerranéen Français puisqu'il constitue, avec le pin d'Alep et les genévriers, l'espèce dominante de la garrigue"I can translate with my poor english : The holm oak is the emblematic species of mediterranean southern France because it forms, with Aleppo Pine and Juniper, the main species of garrigue.

NOXAS1 Posted November 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 woah this is more work then I thought lol. So wish me to use Mediterranean trees near the beginning of the gorge water towards the south-west? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
