Walling it up...

Lt. Sullust Shaper Member # 32	written Monday, March 20 2006 17:40 Profile #0 Is there a standard way that you set up walls? I've set up a little outdoor section, but it seems that the walls are too high in places and too low in others. I'm probably going to have to mess around with all the heights, but I'm just wondering how other designers go about making their scenarios look nice. -------------------- Lt.

Dintiradan Guardian Member # 6670	written Tuesday, March 21 2006 08:48 Profile Homepage #2 A couple tips that came in handy for me: - If you have a cave system (or another town that has gaps between the rooms), set up the layout using blackness (floor #255), then use bounding walls. - For changing heights, set the blackness adjacent to the wall at the same height as the floor on the other side of the wall. - Some wall configurations look better than others. The best way to find out is use Isaac's 3D editor. Really, the best way to learn walls is look at other scenarios, or spend an hour playing around with the editor. -------------------- IF I EVER BECOME AN EVIL OVERLORD: I will be neither chivalrous nor sporting.

The Immortal BANNED Member # 4	written Tuesday, March 21 2006 09:39 Profile Homepage #3 Also, when designing rooms, try to make sure that you plan where you want objects to go before you place walls. That way, it'll still look as if it was made naturally rather than chopped off by a crappy system. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00
