Just started on a rough version of a castle map. THIS ENTIRE MAP IS A TERRAIN OBJECT. I've been experimenting with this idea: could you make a map from a single (or a few) terrainobject? Here's a few pics. Should I keep working on it? If so, what should be improved? Do any of you want the files, so you can help me?
Thanks in advance.

Looks nice, keep it up!
Oh, and it looks funny because it hasn't got the walls in the background, you know.. Like, castle walls.

I think it looks weird because there's not any texture on the walls. But like he said, it's still a rough version of it, I think all he's trying to do right now is make it work. Anyway, nice job, I think it would be easier to just make a whole map this way. The only hard part I can think of would be putting the objects in the right places. And of course, drawing all the parts.

Yeah I was thinking about doing something like this, problem is that building materials are pretty limited.

The castle sprite needs a whole LOT more work though.

It looks REALLY ugly.

its a outline no a sprite a "placeholder" in other words.

agreed. The white nearly bled my eyes. But its a great idea.

It could use a ton of work on the spriteing why did you try to put material color on the FG instead of the Mat?

Also you don't even have a background for it or a custom contour

How do you create a stand alone map? I really need to know.

I did make a separate mat, those are "castle colors!'' Besides, I know it's really ugly, It's just a rough draft. Master Pimp, go to the link below and download my mapping pack. (well I just assembled the pack) It has all that you need to make a new map.

It's on the second page, third post.

Yeah im gonna use that to make a proper working underground map it seems you young whipper snappers don't know much about making maps.

...says a Canadian pimp...

...says a Mexican...

maybe put a couple guys with heavy machine guns in the window or something

It's a good idea but....
