screenshots thread!

[logitech]

are the maps that we make with this program usable in vulcuris???(sorry ima newb)

[logitech]

aw we have to pay for mapmaker?

[Karl G.]

Yes, at this point you must make a donation to use the map maker. When more bugs are worked out it will become usable by the community.

[ziggman]

i made a donation can u send me the map editor?

[thadiusofx3]

the public version is out, check the sticky thread in this forum

[lawn gnome]

Heres my first attempt at a small dungeon (i made it near the wierd X so thats why tiles are missing)

[Karl G.]

WOW! Very classy! I'm glad you have been able to use the editor; I know it has a learning curve. Can you suggest changes to the controls that would make it more intuitive?

Keep em' coming! Remember--you can start building a world using the stitching tool to see how everything fits together. Make sure to keep the individual maps files separate though so we can rearrange stuff easily.

[lawn gnome]

i only have a few suggestions:

You should probably put a screen shot saver into it so we can take and save pictures faster.
Zooming in and out would be alot nicer
Needs a "undo/redo" button! lol


other then that, its great

[Karl G.]

I added zooming in and out, but it will seriously bust some peoples' computers, so I want to figure out a better way to do it (as it is right now, it just pulls you back and makes your view bigger, so there gets to be 150,000+ polys on a moderately sized map...)

I'll try to add the other things for next update. Right now I'm working on the networking stuff, though

[lawn gnome]

oh and i also have another suggestion, when someone maximizes the window it shouldnt make everything bigger it should just make you see more on the screen.

[lawn gnome]

Here is my second attempt. This is more of a leveling ground, its 3 different places that are for custom classes. Its just an idea i had.

So first off, this might be a place for a fig/barb. What you do is u use attack run in the middle of the blocks and it transports u inside.


and heres just a look at what the inside is like. (Probably skelly warriors or something in here)


then we have a wiz/war leveling spot. To get in, they stand in the middle of the blue "+" and use muti to hit all the pillers, then it ports them in.


The inside is sorta like the DS path, it is imps with a HUGE spawn



and then it ports you out


and finally, a Pally ONLY leveling spot (beacuse they suck balls at leveling 12-19). To get in, they stand on that funky thing i made (in MSPaint) and use their Omnimultum spell.


and the inside is sorta just like the Fig/Barb leveling spot.

My map I was thinking of having a boss in it. Maybe for a hard quest or something.
This is the entrance to the area. That's a mana pool.

This is the first room here.

This is part of the first room

This is another part of it.

This is another room. That's a health pool. This room should have adepts or something hard in it.

The rest of that room is just like this.

This is the entrance to the boss area.

And the boss should be right behind or in front of the pool here.


So.. What do you think? It was my first try and took about a half hour.

Alright... here is my first attempt at using the map editor... I'm not sure what kind of enemies would be inside... upper lvl rouges, barbarians.... something like that.. maybe a warrior to catch people off guard

damn link, those maps look really good! the black and green makes a cool contrast

[a_link_to_the_past]

(head swells) haha It feels like making houses on the Sims 2.. but I noticed that there are a lot of different things missing... I couldn't find any beam crystals... or any of the points like a the 4 corners of semel sq... doors to houses... chests... are they not in yet... or is that something that I have to do..

[kuba]

nicely done link.

[a_link_to_the_past]

Hold on to your butts... I just got another dungeon put together...

Mana... Possibilities for the 3 different paths could be enemies only say a fighter could take down one side, a cleric down another, and a warlock down the last...

Once again, I am very impressed--your maps are very creative and seem to have substantial "character" to them. I can tell that they'll be a great addition to PV. I can't wait to run around in these worlds!

[a_link_to_the_past]

Well I'll keep making some stuff and putting them up... but where are all the other things like beam crstals and chests... and all the odds and ins...

[a_link_to_the_past]

Here is a quickly little thing I made... I edit any of the area surrounding it but here is a little grave yard....

Alright... I got another one for ya... (I was bored today so I thought I would do something somewhat productive)... This could be a possible wizard shrine

[kuba]

very impressive you seem to have a creative talent for making maps, keep em comin brotha

[a_link_to_the_past]

Yeah... I really like making them... I wish I knew where all the other objects were... plus I wish there were like angled tiles.. like grass edges

[Karl G.]

All of that stuff can be "created" using the scripting system...I'll do it at some point, I just have to get around to it

[a_link_to_the_past]

Ooooooh okie dokie... guess I will work with what I have
