Interesting.

What cryheart wants to make is something like a ... have you tried Photoshop? There's a style called Bevel and Emboss ... I think he wants to make something like that. So that the Terrain looks like a block of chocolate in a bar. Am I wrong?

> Am I wrong?

Totally right.
Oh yes, and about the sleeping part in post #102, in case you were wondering, I woke up again (couldn't sleep).

Click to expand...
LOL.

Just lower the terrain using the Terrain Editor ... but you probably knew that already, right cryheart?

Guess I got a free post count then ...

If you look at the screenshot close enough, you see that the terrain irregularities normally shown in flat terrain are shown aswell. So it's just area outside of the camera bounds, but inside the map bounds. He probable created a custom camera and moved it using triggers, that is if the screenshot just hasn't been taken it the world editor...

I'm honestly quite amazed that this problem requires a seven page thread to solve.:p

The camera was one thing that was bamboozling me too. Oh well, that's a problem for another day and a free post count for me. :)

Sorry if this seems obvious or not, but isn't it where they increased the height of ALL terrain, then lowered it in some spots?

Nah. If you raised all of the terrain, the terrain will still look 'flat'. This is because Warcraft's terrain is never 3D. The only thing that made the map 3D was the units, cliff and height tools and the doodads and the items.

Other than that, it is completely illusional.
But you could fool someone with that.

Yes, you can.
By setting the camera from somewhere out of the camera bounds but still in the map bounds (as stated in some posts before me), you could make that illusionary effect.

It's really scary.

The only RTS I ever saw with this mythical 'thick' terrain was Age of Mythology. How this thread carried on for about 23 pages is just insane. Just let this die in peace...

Rest In Peace
Here lies a long, pointless thread that was a failure ever since the beginning. We knew him for a long time, but it is at this moment that we lay him to rest. Born Friday, October 24th, 2008. Died Saturday, October 25th, 2008. May he serve the Creator forever in the afterlife, either that or be erased in some sort of website crash. If neither of those come to be true, may his ghost forever haunt the next person to post.​

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
