Hey guys

Im making a scene in my movie in which a destroyed and burning town is show, but I'm having trouble filling it up, with the few destroyed building structures and doodads, plus its hard to find "burnt" trees.

at the moment my town is bland, with a few ruined city buildings in flames, a burned inn, a barracks with tons of flames added to it and some impaled corpses and sitting corpses, some empty boxes, and thats about it. Does anybody know any decent doodads or destructibles i could use to fill up my town a bit more?

By the way, if you want to see some screenshots of the town so far, visit

Thanks! :thup:
 
as an tree, you could create an northend canoby tree (its in Icecrown Glacier, Trees/Destructables)
 
A great doodad for destroyed towns is Remains Scorched. There's also some destroyed towers under Lordaeron Summer > Structures.
Also, you can just create a normal building and set its health to about 5%, then it looks on fire. But if you put it on 1% I think it just automatically dies, so be careful.

For more dead trees you can always just put blight under them, it makes them look all dead. And there's two dead trees. The base one from Northrend (what you're using judging by your screenshots) and the Northrend Canopy Tree, as X-maul said above.
 
thanks for those tips, plus rep! Yeah, I found the scorched tower, but I can't really use it for my town :/ otherwise, that blight tip was really helpful, thanks!!!

thanks also for the tip setting buildings HP to 5%. This really helps!!!

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.

    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/

    What do you think Tom?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    I will have to get used to this.
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    The latest news feed looks good
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I would like to see it again like Ghan had it the first time with pagination though - without the pagination that view will not work but with pagination it just might...
