new ramp preview

Nikademis Von Hisson · Posted: Sun May 17, 2009 9:09 pm Post subject: new ramp preview

I made these pieces, plus another 100 or so. There are 2 pieces in each pic. The ramp piece and the road next to the wall piece. A couple need a tad bit of work. If anyone is looking for a piece to be made you can send me a PM or an email with a description or better yet a drawing and I can try to make you something.

They need some work on the cliff boarder sections, looks like they don't match the original cliff properly in some places.

Woah, pretty good actually. It is nice to see more terrain artists rising Wink

Only one bug I see, in the bottom left piece, are some pixels are blue/errorish or such by the edge where it is merging to the cliff.

Hey look, slanted bricks! Fix that.

Nikademis Von Hisson · Posted: Sun May 24, 2009 9:07 am Post subject: ramp pieces

Blade : the pieces were fine when created but the looks changed when I created the map. To correct this problem I re did the pieces to look better.

Lexa/MT : yeah I know the about the blue lines, those pieces weren't totally done, I just wanted to post up some pics to show some progress of new pieces I was creating. I stated they were done and they are still not 100%, but thank you for pointing that out to me. It could have been an over sight on my point if I wasn't paying attention. Pieces have been fixed.

Symphonic : Now there is something I missed when I originally did my pieces. Good thing you pointed that out or Blade would have ripped me if I had said they were 100%.

I re made the pieces because of Blade's post, to make them fit in better, but here is my new problem. I'm not gonna tell you, but rather show you. The pics speak for themselves. The first pic is my problem and the second pic is the actual pieces. If need be I can submit pics of each individual piece. I created them separate and then created a new piece and combined them. These pieces still have a few flaws other than the latest post states. These are still a work in progress.

BTW I know the one ramp is missing the ramp type.

He's saying to work it out yourself. I'll give ya a one-word hint to start you in the correct direction: Axes.

axes? would you be referring to the point at where the extra image meets the regular image? It's kind of funny how before Blade mentioned the cliff pieces didn't look right, everything was fine and then I remade them and they are screwed up.

Normaly the XCC Unofficial TMP Editor fixes this....

DJBREIT · Soldier **Joined**: 23 Nov 2002 **Location**: PA,USA

Unless they updated the TMP editor since I been here you still need to update the z-data manually.

Nikademis Von Hisson · Posted: Wed May 27, 2009 11:39 pm Post subject: Zdata

Actually, it didn't help me, I had that already, but none the less thank you for that. My process for making the pieces was to extract the pieces from the mix file and place them in a specific folder. Then I would create the new one using the tmp editor and builder. The pieces still showed up red no matter what I did so I scraped them and started for the 12th time. I made a base with the Tmp builder and had my pieces open in the editor. I copied the pieces and pasted each normal piece to the builder. then I saved each extra image and used the builder to import them. I tested my map and the pieces show up fine. but the editor still shows this. Is this ok, they show grey, and they appear ok in the map when i played it.

It may have a problem if a unit passes in front of it and the z-data is set to high or to low( I don't remember which) and part of the cliff covers it.

Post one of the tiles or send it to me (*********) remover asterisk. I will give it a shot.

CCHyper · Defense Minister **Joined**: 07 Apr 2005

That solid Z Data would (i think) cause problems, it needs to be a graident from white to a grey, normaly with a red background, and it has to match the shape, not the whole area.

And im sure Breit that UO TMP Editor fix's it, it was you who told me to use it all them years ago whn i had this problem to being with xD
