Hi there ! I'm playing CC for about a month, and I started making some "objects" for maps about a week ago. here's a treat.





It seems that no-one mentioned it, or I missed a topic, but what type of color selection you use when you export yout BMP ? system values or local/global color selection ?

also, do you always enter the X and y positions of the oblects in the map's .ini or is there some tricks out there ?

I saw the material contours are bitmaps in V14, so no problem with that

edit: here's a test build of my first map:

Those are nice, very well shaded, plus its good to see something different from the standard base layout and colors.

10/10

But it is most likely not in the pallete.

Definatly not in the pallette.
But they rock.

Hey, you guys would be surprised, it actually works nicely with the palette. I actually had to zoom in to tell which was which on the first one!

The second one isn't as good with the palette, but still, it works pretty well too.

I'm glad you like it
I still got to add a few things to the rocket silo

uh... can I have more informaton avout this palette you're talking about ?

THOSE THINGS ARE AMAZING!

Whoa. Perdy.

That's phenomenal art there...someone has to make this stuff into a scene=]

hehe, I plan on it, but some tips or advice for the CC map making noob I am would be useful

The palette for CC is a set of 256 colors that the games uses. If your pictures contain any colors that aren't a color on the palette, CC will seriously muck up your colors. I mean REALLY mess them up. If you need help converting your pictures to the palette, try running a search of the forums. I think there's a sticky about it somewhere.

Now, if I could only figure out How on Earth you made those pictures...

yay, I found the topic with the palette file. done exporting into bmp

how I did those ? well, I guess it's the mighty photoshop who helped me a lot

Well repost them once they've been converted I wanna see how they'll look then.

okay, I added the addterrainobject in the scenes.ini of my new map's folder, along with object folder with my stuff. but when I test the map, I get this:



help ?

that means, that your terrain object mat has a material that doesnt exist... try looking up to the materials.ini
