Micael, the hills should stay. The islands are supposed to be floating above the Abyss. It comes out whenever I finish, which is whenever it happens. I rarely have that free time, so it is slow. Thankfully, I don't need much in the way of towns are outdoors. -------------------- My ego is bigger than yours. Posts: 480 | Registered: Thursday, October 11 2001 07:00 |

The abyss could do with having a bit more colour added to it. Maybe a nebula in that big empty space below and to the left of the party? -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

May I ask how you got your bridge to work? I have made one myself that looks similar; the graphic is adjusted upward by the height of a few levels of cliff, and it looks great when the party walks on it, but getting on it is a problem because technically they have to jump off of a cliff to reach it, even though it looks like it is at he same height. -------------------- Überraschung des Dosenöffners!

There are 3 types of height: Game Height Floor Height Terrain Height I left the game's height alone, dropped the floor, and raised the bridge's. -------------------- My ego is bigger than yours. Posts: 480 | Registered: Thursday, October 11 2001 07:00 |

Is there any way of making the bottoms of the little islands spiky? Making them look more like flying rocks and less like flying squares (Actually, they kinda remind me of Chia Pets as they are now.) could help the picture. Posts: 70 | Registered: Sunday, December 19 2004 08:00 |

Dahak, do me the honor of letting me bear your children. This is genuinely awesome. I agree with Thuryl, though- something in the space would be nice. Why not make the bush go on the hills, and place something magical (runes, lantern, etc) on the hills instead? -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

For half a year I have been trying to design "starry void" graphics for BoA that look remotely authentic. Needless to say, it's not half as good as this. :( Please, please put those graphics up at the Louvre! :) -------------------- Encyclopaedia • Archives • Members • RSS [Topic / Forum] • Blog • Polaris • NaNoWriMo Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.

Okay. Several things first. 1) Changed rock type. Opinions?  2) Cannot do underhanging rocks. BoA is unfriendly about it (tile coverup) 3) Anything else?  4) Those are the Vahnatai light, outdoors = no light emitted. Not bushes. Although, maybe I could use the big lamps... Hm. 5) I am zipping up the files to be sent to the Louvre. Edit: I tried to add a nebula (Orion Nebula actually is where this takes place), but the images I have are BIG, and all my attempts to shrink to managable size (32 floors) failed. I'm trying though. Maybe others objects to fill in the void? [ Thursday, July 14, 2005 18:32: Message edited by: Dahak ] -------------------- My ego is bigger than yours.

Hmm. The Vahnatai floor on the tableau looks out of place. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

Drakey used to house Motekye's boulders on his site. They were very good, more irregular and natural. Where are they, Drakey? I like this stary void. Yes, a spiraling nebula would be great. Why not make one from scratch?

http://www.sitemouse.com/users/drakefyre/graphics/work_003.gif If you change the 003 at the end of the URL to anything from 004 to 012, you'll get the rest of Motekye's graphics.

I think the green tile floor looks good there. I notice that people always complain whenever someone tries to use that floor for something besides a Vahnatai building. I don't understand why, though. It's just green tiles. There's nothing particular about green tiles that's specific to the vahnatai. My mother was considering getting green tiles for the kitchen a few years ago. Honestly, people, get over it. :P EDIT: Also, I like the grey rocks better than the brown rocks. I don't like the brown rocks.

I would edit the bridge graphics so that they don't look so much like wood - either changing the graphics to a metallic gray color, or even better, making a sort of cobblestone foot path, where you can see the black of the void through the cracks - as though the stones were just floating in the nothing. Very cool work! :) [ Friday, July 15, 2005 06:42: Message edited by: Drew ] Posts: 2242 | Registered: Saturday, April 10 2004 07:00 |

The nebula should be 2x2, just because I can't yet place it without the nomenclature. Meanwhile, I can't say I agree with the use of floors in the second shot- too many colors. The bright R, G and B don't set one another off very well- maybe using a green regal carpet or a darker mosaic tileset would help. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

I'd say that the green and red are problematic. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

I think the green looks fine. Blue and green go well together, in my opinion. The red doesn't look good though. I'll make a bigger nebula in a few minutes.

Too many colours and too many patterns, yes. Look at the first picture, where the void has a majesty that is no longer noticeable in the second pic. If you want to blend void and passageway into one flowing, otherworldly experience, choose colours and patterns that add to the flow and do not break it. -------------------- Polaris Rache's A3 Site reformatted 2/3 done Rache's A3 Site, original version Posts: 1828 | Registered: Saturday, January 11 2003 08:00 |

I'm doing something wrong, but I don't know what. This bigger nebula simply doesn't look nearly as good as the smaller one. I'll keep trying some other time. EDIT: By the way, I hope you're putting as much effort into the plot of this scenario as you are into the way it looks. Have you read the articles I listed in this thread ?

The red is a flying carpet that you arrived on. I could ditch it and add a portal, but I felt that the "portal" arrival was overdone.  quote:Sent you a PM with details.
