Against the rules?

[killerbf1]

I was woundering if asking for someone to do my terrain for me is agenst the rules or not if i give them credit for it in game. i simply suck at terraining.

"The Rules" are no problem there.
What you're going to need more of is "good luck" though...

It's not against the rules, but keep in mind that you are asking for a lot of work from someone that doesn't know you. Be polite and try to show what progress you've made so far, no one wants to make a terrain for a map that isn't even started. You have probably a much bigger success rate if you finish your map (with your own terrain) and then asks if someone wants to help you improve the terrain.

thanks. So is there anyone who is willing to help a poor terrainer out in a tright sitch? full credit will goto you for every inch of terrain plus rep for helping and a hero named after you in game.

Edit: the only thing im good at is triggers and custom heros/hero abilitys

Question 1 : What type of map it is ? RPG, Hero Defense ? Tower Defense ?
Question 2 : What is the size of the map you want ? 54 * 54 ? 126 * 126 ?

Try it yourself.
Use basic tiles, Environment Doodads, and if you have space, trees
Or... whatever you need

Then ask someone to improve it.

Also. Your Rep is worth 0.

Its a rpg, single player as of now, when i finish it and work out the bugs for single player, i will make it into a multiplayer map. and i would like it to be 256 * 256 or 224 * 224

Right, i tryed it with one map a while ago, a 4 player anti terroest map, and i tested it with my old clan, i was told that terrain would take me about a year to get right, and got about 5 links to tuts explaining terrain.

Didn't know my rep was worth 0 till now, i forgot i got - rep for a double post.

You should give more descriptions, what exactly do you want in the terrain? What type of scenes/environments/etc. would you like? Any special locations(forests, cities, deserts)?

Could you draw an outline (paint ) of more or less what you have in mind?

Kinda hard to just terrain for a 256x256 RPG.

As for rep, it's the intentions that matter?
Good luck.

right. Well i didnt want to get into what terrain, scenes, enviro, etc untill i had a taker. Im sure i could try to draw something in pain, althou im not very artistic ^_^

 

[esb]

Well it could affect a lot, based on the description you give.

For example, one person can be really good at forests, but not at deserts or something like that.

It would be hard to have 1 or 2 people agree to help you out, then you tell them you want islands, and they say nevermind because they can't do it.

 

[killerbf1]

alright then, i have in my head to have around 20 towns/citys/outposts, a few forests, not shrubey woods, but forests, a des somewhere, and a massive labrinth for then end quests that is not vissable, which i will add. there will be about 100 quests total and about 300+ NPCs.

20 towns/citys/outposts

A bit much, don't you think?

How long are you planning on this taking?

Well, that is, if they're simple enough...

im guessing/estamating (guestamating) about 3 months to 5 months depending on if everything goes smooth or not, I.E. trigger bugs.

Brother, I think that for solo RPG maps, one of the most exciting things is to build the terrain. Cos the terrain is normally linked to the campaign. Buildings, villages, farms, taverns.... etc.

How can you make an adventure without a proper based terrain?

Oh, I like terraining. If you want some help.

 

[killerbf1]

Yes, i would love some help. i will PM you. thank you alot.
