Anyone want to do terrain for my TD?

If you don't already know I have made a TD. I am currently in the process of redoing it and I need new terrain. I don't care for the terrain I made, so I need someone else to make me some. I can't terrain worth sh*t. If you want to help me please respond to this thread. If you want to check out its current terrain, go to the link in my sig. The version is the newest one I have released, but I have balanced a lot since that version.

can you post some screen shots? pliz ^_^

EDIT: also what kind of terrain do you want? i might be able to do it but in busy terraining for a terrain challenge :> depends, when would you expect it?



EDIT 2: nvm i saw the map

I am going to draw up an actual plan of how the map will look tonight. I will give you dimensions, and a basic layout of how it is going to work. Thanks for offering to do this, if you could post some screenshots that would be great. I really want this to look good and i've never seen your work so I don't know how good you are. I'm sure your good enough though.

I can do some terrain for you, for screen shots go here

here you can check out some of my terrainHERE

oh yeah make sure to whach the cinematic :>

Go with Murcielago, His is alot better then mine. :D

when u post up ur layout, i might help

lol heh heh ^_^

what im thinking about td is a total reskin/model
now that would improve td a lot....
too bad of the download time for dialup users

Okay, so I got the basic layout of the lanes done. The big hot pink dots are spawn/player start locations. THe arrows indicate the paths the monsters will take. The black lanes are 2 cliff steps down, and the black lanes with a grey thing down the middle are 1 cliff step down. Where the black lanes intersect with the blackgrey lanes there needs to be ramps. For right now just make the spawn area the same size as the ditch, it should probably be about the size of the terrain square that says x5 down in the corner. Maybe even a little bigger. The map should be 160 x 160 but if you just can't fit it on ther you can go up to 228 x 228 but that souldn't be a problem. If you could get a basic thing done with just the lanes, I would like to see it so I can get everything squared away with ramps, and then I will let you finish. There really isn't any big rush, but I would like it as soon as you could get it done. I kind of made a mistake on it. The paths coming from the outer 4 start locations are curved, make the L like. Not J. Anyways here it is. The map is for 8 players so there is the bigger square with 4 spawns and then the smaller with 4.

wow thats confusing o_O but i think i got most of it....thos i have a question i dont understand the yellow, pink, teal, and orange arrows also you have a black/gray line down the middle, do you want there to be gap separating the sides?


EDIT: im stumped that black/gray line down the mid jus doesnt make sence o_O piz explain it to me ty ^_^

Okay, I guess the picture wasn't crystal clear. First of all, what is going to happen on the bigger square is the creeps are going to spwan and then go through the players L. Then they will continue on and pass by another players maze. This will prevent people from losing because of noobs. Now when the monsters come around I am going to create force bridges that get them over the spawn. There will be no monsters in the spawn so I won't have to worry aboud different pathing. Then after all the monsters are across the bridge is destroyed and the level starts over again. Now for the little square what you are going to have to do is make the whole thing only 1 cliff level down. That way the lanes going from the bigger square to the end (big red dot) don't screw with the cliff levels of the inner square. The arrows don't coordinate with player placement, they are just random colors I chose. I will put the players where I desire them to be. I might even create a random thing where players are randomly put in positions. So a couple of things to explain. The black/grey lanes that go over the spawns are going to have to be ramped up to the same level as the cliffs surrounding spawn pit and then a bridge will be ressurected, don't worry about triggers and stuff i will be doing that. This is partly the reason I want you to get a little test thing done first so I can tweak all of the lanes to be perfect. Then you can go crazy with your artistic skill on the rest. I hope this long thing helped clarify stuff. I know the design is kind of complex, but I have always been known to find complex solutions to simple problems:D. It will be an awsome working system once I get all of the triggers down. Nobody has anything near as cool where every player is important, but every player covers someone else.

ok im back i made a "blueprint' of your map. yes its out of peportion that will not happen in the final version. i think this is how you wanted it, right?

also i think 128x128 is too square i might make it 160x128


EDIT my bad forgot the screen

EDIT 2: ok i get what ur saying...now...i hope lol

So far that looks great. I can't tell from that angle, but how big are the paths? Are they the terrain thing with the x5 in the bottom corner or the one below that? If they are the one below that we might have some problems. People will need room to make creative mazes or else this map will fail, but if it is too large then monsters will take too long to get to middle. Hmm..... If you could make them a little bigger that would be great. I just realized what size they are by the ramps. I realize that it is going to be tight, but you can do it :D . But so far that is a wonderful WIP. Keep up the great work. I would give you points if I had any :( .

Edit: I just had a great idea. Okay, in order to make the box in the middle big enough to fit 4 players, and be able to make the outside big enough to build in but not so big that the monsters are going to take ages. I am going to use blink. Okay, i will try and explain how this is going to work. I promise that I am not going to change plans after this.

The rectangle in the middle will have to be elongated. The way we are going to do this is eliminate the go between parts. Argh this is hard to explain. Umm... Refer to my previous picture. Follow the red arrows. Now when they go on the long stretch over to where the black arrows start, we are going to eliminate that stretch and elongate the rectange in the middle to fit that. The monsters are they going to blink from one point to another instead of just running there. Then there will be enough room for people in the middle, and hopefully you will be able to give more room to people on the outer area. If you can't understand this (don't worry, I probably wouldn't) then i will sketch up another pic to show you, or you could attach the map and let me do a little crappy stuff to show you what I mean. Once you have the base all done then you can go have fun with doodads, raise & lower and such.

oh no thats not the real map that was jus a practice to make sure i understood what you wanted.. im going to make a new one from scratch and i will make the path bigger of coarse :D also what tileset do you want? or can i make a custom one? also what cliff type do you want?



EDIT: ill try to get started soon, hopefully later today or tommorow(i have to finish my map for a challenge! lol)
