use |n for a line break

heres my idea for spaces...

kind alike what mech-sheep said
instead of just making a square board make it fanncier

i took it upon myslef to make this quick 2 space board (jsut to show you the idea) i made the path between them short so they'd both fit in the screenshot but you should make it shorter.
basicly the idea is make them look like theyre part of the terrian except raise them and make a white marble border around them so players realize that its a space, use crappy terrain for the low end propperties and fill it with flies, and heads on spears. also i stuck some tents there either as part of the space or to show where houses would go, it up to u.

the other space is like boardwalk or parkplace, it has walls aound it, statues all that good stuff, and i used the castle for it

you'll havta make the spaces bigger though, to fit houses and hotels in but that my idea hope you like it

Guys, i really love the ideas for the terrain... but, i kinda already have 60% of the terrain done... here, i've posted an early screen shot of the board. Everyone tell me what you think, and some things i could improve...... or should i totally start the entire thing over? I really wanted to give this game the actual monopoly board look... but apparently the few that have posted don't like that... tell me if the runes make it more appealing!

That terrain seems a bit empty, but it isn't done so oh well.

Drake 18, that is EXACTLY what I wanted to say... except why is some crappy property beside some royal one? :gsmile: It looks great!

The board is very flashy, and I like it.

trust me, its just a bad screenshot

I need to be able to load a whole bunch of tiles into the map so i can give each space a different terrain look

i stuk a crappy one enxt to a good one because iwas to lazy to make the whole board and was just given an example of the kinda board I'd do...
Mr doommaster your board really kewl but seriously lacks some originallity, why would i want to play just normal monopoly on wc3 if ican play it on a board...

u gotta offer people sumthing new

btw howd u get the colours on the spaces, what doodad is that, or it a custom skin?

For the railroads take the property of a house or some other building, then replace the graphic with the steam tank, for some reason it looks like a train, which is used on railroads.

Here are some more detailed screenshots, by request of Kieth. Keep in mind that the map is NOT completely finished, most of the spaces appear empty and 'boring' because i haven't finished giving each it's own terrain. Bare with me people! I have given screenshots of the spaces i have completed though.

NOTE: On the very last screenshot you will notice a tiled space with a Castle and many human units around it. This is what would originally be the Reading Railroad. I have decided that since there are 4 spaces for the railroad, and 4 races... that each space will represent an entire race. Here are the names of the four: Human Race, Orcish Race, Elven Race, and Undead Race. If you purchase and become owner of these spaces, your army of the races will grow stronger, allowing you to take more gold from people that land on your Race spaces based on how many of these spaces you own.

Comments are welcome!

First of all, the map will not look exactly like a monopoly board as you can see. The only thing that will be the same is the basic square shape, and the spaces are formed the same as well. Each space will have a 3D terrain, with doodads and such... The real monopoly board is flat and boring, this one will be more alive. I want to create a unique looking monopoly game for warcraft without making it look like something other than monopoly. I don't think i'll be changing it's current form, the only thing i have to do now is add some terrain for each property. I still need to know how to add over the maximum tile limit so i can have more choices of terrain.

heres somemore terrain shots

Wow it looks great. I love the runes and the beacons you have. It looks like neon lights around the board and makes it look really nifty :P Keep it up it's looking great. Just looking at the screenshots makes me wanna play. By the way you might wanna contact the person who made the other Monopoly game and see if he can let you use some of his triggers if you give him credit, because it would probably make the map a lot easier to finish. Of course you'd have to change a lot of stuff to make it different but using his triggers is a good place to start i guess...

I am a completely original programmer, i don't like borrowing other people's work. When i finish this map, it will be 100% original. I appreciate your advice, yet... i hope you can respect my motives. Thanks again.

If you can make a good one I'm all for it. I did play one version but it was pretty disappointing. The players just ran around the board and built towers on property to kill opponents pieces. Even stranger was that it allowed 2 people on each team yet one person had basically no role whatsoever. Seems like it could've been good had he spent more time on it.

GL on it.

To make the text in the dialoge, just pretend the dialog title change option is to write text. The title change can be used to make nice big text boxes with buttons still on the bottom. Use |n to go to the next line, or I think its |n...
