Ive checked the skins that have been posted up, and i cant find a wall. i dont want to use the wc3 custom walls because those things are scrawny. im looking for a fortress wall skin, so that i can actually make something that looks like a big castle. if any1 has a skin or could make one for me id be grateful.:D

Better post you request in the Skinning forums as this is not the right place for it.

Gotta move the thread

You could try CnPing the skin of part of the castle onto the city-structures blp etc. (in the appropriate place) or anyother other wall - (ice crown glacier would be best)

A good person to ask is MMad - he's excellent at doodads and terrains

Yeah, the wall doodads suck. I've seen expert terrainers come up with interesting work-arounds, but i'm looking for something that can be built in game. This game is really needs some more intimidating walls for each race.

realm designs have recreated the wall from thee original warcraft - check out their forum for pics - that looks cool - Idoubt they'll let you have it but that's probably exactly what you need

Here it is - is this the kind of thing you want? they're buildable - they'll probably explain how they made them if you ask

I don't know... They do a lot of bragging and a lot of selfish hording. I don't think those greedy dudes would tell you how to open the WE if they thought it would enhance thier project a tiny bit. Sorry, i generally don't flame, but those guys have a very arrogant air about them.

Note to everyone: Get over yourself, and share your stuff, its just a game, that none of us will even remember in 10 years anyway. If the community wanted, i'd give swim lessons or basketball tips, cuz that's all i'm good at, but i don't think anyone here is requesting... Point is, give a little, it'll come back you in this life or the next.

Aight - I think the time has come to stop making helmets and starting churning out walls...

I already did some for my helms deep map

describe what wall you want and I'll try and make it - well, I'll be able to make it but I'd have to figure out how to do death animations if necessary

a simple non-animating wall would be preferable though

You'd be willing to do this stuff for the community? Awesome! Of course if you're doin this for the benefit of everyone, anything is always nice, non-animating or reskins or whatever. I'd be willing to donate some of my meager stash of points too.

Of course, modeling a totally new wall and giving it its own animation and stuff would be optimal, but whatever you can do would be great.

Basically a creative, intimidating, functional wall should be made for each race.

Some ideas:

Human: like a parapet. Something impressive because the warcraft humans have shown that they can build some pretty amazing cities.

Undead: A wall of bone or flesh would be excellent. The thing that most comes to mind is the necro's bone wall/prison spell in diablo. An idea would be to take the skin of the ziggurat and modify it to fit on a wall doodad or something resembling a wall.

Orc: something rustic, but dangerous looking. I use a miniture burrow as the orc wall in my map, but anything could really work here, just give it a "orcish" feel. Or maybe the ingenuous goblins could make a neat wall?

NE: Something like a wall of thorns or bramble. Or if you have your own ideas...?
