Tauren Race

crap.... I was just working on a screen shot to show you (like make map n show it ) and my comp froze on the loading screen.....

Anyway, Ill get to work on a map for you, pls tell me what you would like it to look like, if you have a preferance.

No rush, Runemane. Maps will eventually be needed, but it's not a huge priority. Essentially what would be great is a small barrens map. It should be in barrens tileset, but look like fertile desert. It needs to be large enough to accomodate a 1v1 game. (Plenty of trees, 4 mines, etc) Since the map needn't be that big, try to make it very detailed. It will definately improve screenshots if the background is asthetic.

Yes, Frostigt, that's superficially the body shape I think of, but as I said, I'm drawing it up. I'll see if I can't post it tonight.

This is what I ahve done in the map right now, I got bored with hw, ignore my previous reply, I cant wait to see how this is going to turn out!
:dance:

Wow. Looks really good. I think a cool goal for this project is to create a tileset for each race, and include a few melee maps. Perhaps you should make a river running through the map?

Anyway, I like it a lot. Keep it up!

Yea... a tileset.... problem... I have no clue how to do that, if I could have someone tell me how to do it I would be willing to. Let me get away from bloody school...

And I considered the river, probly gonna put that in the 2v2 map I was gonna make next.

So if you, TiJiL, or anyone else knows how to edit and import new tilesets, please, let me know. My AIM Screenname is Rune309.

I've read on the subject. I'll have to do some research, but I'm sure we could figure it out.

ok, sounds good, but I have to go to bed now, so Ill talk to you tomorrow....

updated :) hope you like.

BTW runemane, you can msg me on aim, Gerundok is my nick there, incase you'd like to talk. and if you looked above, you'd notice that TiJiL said he doesn't have AIM :(

by making units i mean the actual creation, balance, correct speed, shadow size, animation throwback, selection circle ect of units in the unit editor. You'd be surprised how many times i see units with too big or too small shadows, or none at all and other small but annoying errors.

Yea, I know he doesnt have AIM, I read this whole thing when I got home... And its so cold in this room, I mean like 50, in school, our school turns on heat during summer and off in winter.... Anyway...

i think the stone-drake looks great Gerundok, plz post an ingame pic!

Gerun is also learning how to animate (yes!) so if somone can help him find a proper 3D animation program he will be much grateful.

i would, but theres 1 itsy bitys problem..i cant convert things to .mdx, but i can save them in .3ds form, but then they would lose any animations i would have created for them[yes, i am learning, slowly, but learning is learning]

://// stupid noobish question: is it possible to use it then ?

yes, as soon as he finds the right tools.
