nani Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 Will improve if you add proper underwater terrain and fix the edges of the middle island + add some irregularities to make it feel less synthetic. Props for the rest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badosu Posted October 19, 2020 Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 (edited) That seems intentional as to not let any possibility of using docks/ships there? As @wowgetoffyourcellphone mentioned we need proper cliffs on 0ad. Edited October 19, 2020 by badosu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silier Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 I believe they mean something like this https://www.google.com/search?q=cliff&oq=cliff&aqs=chrome..69i57j46l2j0l2.1058j0j7&client=ms-android-huawei&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#imgrc=19jPkdZ4ek21fM is not easy to create if not impossible 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badosu Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) Yeah, it's a common feature in some RTSs, e.g.: C&C: Red Alert 3 Spoiler SC2: LotV Spoiler One can easily work around by just making a very steep elevation with some texture care, however it's inconsistent and does not look good.

It is, but i think @nani is subtly telling me to make less crappy looking cliffs while keeping it's purpose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smiley Posted October 21, 2020 Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 Changing the terrain from a grid to a polygon map or something similar will allow for some remarkable art. If you can make it in blender, you can make it in Atlas kinda thing. Even allow for importing actual meshes to Atlas. Fun to think about, not fun to implement. Basically involves overhauling the entire terrain renderer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grapjas Posted October 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 Would be really cool to be able to hollow out terrain to create something like this: Spoiler Probably easier said than done though, to implement such a thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grapjas Posted October 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) Wth an earthquake has happened it's a mystery island after all. Details Spoiler Only added 1 metal and stone in the middle every other resource stayed the same. Screenshots Spoiler Ps: does anyone know why i have red waves in the water? Edit: In the current state ridges can be abused with ungarrison from ships (AI doesnt do this though), however the units will likely get stuck. Ungarrison range seems to be huge. I'll fix later somehow Edited January 29, 2021 by Grapjas 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ungarrison range seems to be huge. I'll fix later somehow ships have a rather large ungarrison range, this is done to make ungarrisoning the units work smoothly. 4 hours ago, Grapjas said: Ps: does anyone know why i have red waves in the water? https://trac.wildfiregames.com/ticket/2692 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badosu Posted October 27, 2020 Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 Nice work @Grapjas! I'd like to see some good players playing this map. Could even add it to balanced-maps if you're interested, though would be more interesting to convert it to a random map instead of skirmish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's maybe best to wait till i fix the ridges though. I don't have much time on my hands right now but i will get to it. 23 hours ago, badosu said: though would be more interesting to convert it to a random map instead of skirmish I don't know how to do this, but i could look into it.

Grapjas Posted December 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 (edited) Some ridges are wider and can still be used to haress enemy economy with ranged units. But they are unable to go to mainland from there and depending on the spot, they will be stuck and you cannot retrieve them. I kinda liked the extra layer of strategy to it. All ridges should be safe from any units entering over it. If this does happen i'd love to hear it so i can fix it.

In my case, i noticed the red waves come from the in-game graphics option "Water refraction". @badosu Feel free to add this map to your balanced maps mod if you want.

Grapjas Posted March 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) "X" received an overhaul (which is possible thanks to @Stan`'s recenter map tool in atlas). The map is now bigger and the islands around changed quite a bit too. It's part of the (massive) update i just launched for my mod.
