Question about forums

[Jindo]

I'm feeling very nervous and embarresed while typing this.

There is already a forum on the world editor but i waould like to have a terraining forum on this site

The nervous part, i would like to be moderator of the forum if it was taken to account

Thanks for your time.

I think that we discussed having sub-forums like that once before, ans decided against it. The issue with sub-forums is they are more llikely to become inactive. However, you would have to aask an admin (probably TH) for sure.

Just my advice on the topic of sub-forums:

We have a terraining forum at OM.com. Um...Barely active Rofl. If at all. (Then again, we have a grand total of 33 members) So, I'd sorta lean to... "Hell no"?

I PMed him before, he said to post about it in here

Damnit people losing interest in things

EDIT: if you want more people at your forums make it more good looking (lol?) and get a link to it from other sites, also if you have a lot of keywords in your site, it will get into google .

Have you even seen OM.com? www.omega-mods.com <- Try looking at it before judging the layout of it. Malice- did it, and I think it looks great. We haven't had any complaints about it, either.

As for links, it's not that simple. New sites aren't always linked to, mainly because people don't know how well it'll do. If we're still around in a few months (which I have no doubt that we will be) you may see more Omega-Mods links. Maybe even from TH.net. Who knows?

Keywords would be up to Malice-, so I can't answer or reply to this.

In my opinion, terrain forums will never do well. Look at OM's. It basically has only the terraining tips. The reason is, unlike triggers, units, etc., terraining is not a simple Q&A concept. The only way to be do well at it is to practice. Asking questions is not going to help much in that field.

That's my reason terrain forums don't do well.

 

[DM Cross]

Exactly. What I think is good might not be good to someone else. There is no wrong/write way to terrain.

Jindo:

Ryoko did mention wanting a tutorial on the terrain ediotr and basic terraining tips. Maybe want to do that sometime, after The Last Stand.

 

[DM Cross]

Wasn't there a thread awhile ago that had tips for terraining?

Tips of the Trade or something like that? Pretty sure it was reposted on OM.com...

-Edit-

Yup, it was.

http://omega-mods.com/thread.php?threadid=18&sid=

Originally from the WE forum of TH.net

 

[SilverHawk]

Yes, but Ryoko wanted a tutorial on the editor itself, which no one has done yet.

 

[DM Cross]

You mean like the tools?

... How hard can it be?

"The tool called "Raise" will raise the ground level upward." <- Duh?

 

[SilverHawk]

Lol, I don't know. Ask him.

 

[AceHart]

> How hard can it be?

Very.
Always.

 

[Shadowy Fear]

Hehe, I think we should have a terraining tutorial too, but it is rather complex and would have to include several topics, or else just general ones.

I've never seen any of your work, Jindo. Can you post us some screenshots in The Last Stand terrain thread? :>)

At O-M, nobody ever really contributes to the terraining thread

One, we only have 33 members as said above, maybe less than 10 who are active on a daily basis.

I asked Alexander and Malice- about doing a terraining competition there, but they both replied the same (and I agreed): we don't have enough members yet.

Sites like wc3campaigns and wc3sear.ch can afford to do terraining competitions (not just that, release entire terrain add-on PACKS and contests for those even) because they have so many members.

I prefer to do creepy castle-type things, as well as manipulating the sky, weather, and other things to bring out the best of my terrainin :>)

 

[Jindo]

Well, i have my own thread wth my own terrain

Here's a link

Hope you like it (apart from the founatins, they're ugly )

Uhmm...maybe not a terrain help forum...but maybe a Art show off...you could show off ne kind of art from WE terraining to handdrawn pictures...becuz i noe how ppl like to show off their work...it really might work and increase the number of ppl in the TH community...becuz some experts...don;t need help..but wat if they want to show off some work...uhh...wat da u say...lets give it a TRY??!?...


P.S: I would post regurlary some terraining in WE..cuz i get bored a lot...

 

[Jindo]

That's kind of what i meant, only i didnt mention the art stuff.

Good idea though

I'll probably do a tutorial n the terrain editor.

I sometimes get confused about how or who you send it to
