Terraining - Dark Scenery

[corvusHaunt]

Well, the rocks wouldn't exactly be random...
I'm just saying because the inner island looks good, but the sides look all bare and boring. Too bad you couldn't put like a dead body floating around in there.


Well, I made a haunted swamp/graveyard thing, and I used the impaled corpse model and sunk it so you can only see the spike and the bloody back

Looks good, and about that "floating corpse", create a dummy unit with whatever model, footman look cool in battle sites, a peasant might be good there, make it flying, and at map intizt have a trigger make it play its "death" animation, it will sit like its dead all map long, then use a trigger to make it "fly" right over the water, mabey even get realy carried away, and when a player comes up, have it bob once, and jerk under water, then have a "head on spear" come up so just the head shows .

 

[corvusHaunt]

Aww, cool!

Then when you turned around there would be lot's of blood, and the whole river was blood, like if you went to Hell and it was full of blood, and that blood was on fire, and it was raining blood! And then you went to the store to get a gallon of milk and that was blood! Maybe that would be enough blood...

why a map init trigger? why not just set his required animation name?
it seems overly elaborate for what its worth =o

Atmosphere

Finally atmosphere! I've never been able to find it

BTW, corvusHaunt, getting a little carried away with the blood, but I like the gallon of bloodmilk thing

 

[Anything.]

Why can't you just make alot of dummy units with 'Locust' and 'float' movement, and the required animation of 'death'.

Then you can have the units stay there and do a cool trigger where when a unit enters region, make the units suddenly explode (most units explode into blood) and then do a trigger where you make the screen all red for a second, then tint all the water red / dark red and make a couple special effects here and there, like fire, and then create a fire doodad under it.

And maybe make randomly exploding corpses all over the place.

I think I just made a good idea for my map

And by the way, it looks pretty cool with your tut

Hmm, that would go under cinematics theme, not enviroment, dont you reckon.

 

[WastedSavior]
