Final Alert - tileset

Nikademis Von Hisson

If you look at the pic and see the blue "circle" what are these pieces used for. I am creating new slopes and before I go on any further with this particular tileset I need to know what these are used for.

Huh? Take another look at the set. They're just slopes like the rest.

Yep... Just slopes like all the others... Just less common.

the first 4 are for hills which are 3 height levels high and are used for slopes that reach from the lowest to the highest level.
the last 4 are rarely use, because voxel units don't tilt on them and it looks weird when the unit drives over them like on flat ground while it's actually that "bumpy".

Thank you gentlemen for such a quick response. Don't know if I ever saw those used before, so they won't be made...... at least for now.

Also, I think it's worth mentioning that units can't move on the first 4 slopes.

That seems to be not quite correct. It looks like they are passable, but only for diagonal movement. Not for direct vertical/horizontal movement like from south to north for the 3rd tile.
I guess this was done, because otherwise the unit would climb 2 height levels with only 1 tile. Though any height difference bigger than 1 is considered to be a cliff (ground units can only climb 1 height level per tile)

See attached gif how the units zigzag up but still move directly on the steep slope

Since you show the Marble Madness tiles there, I have a question.
I would assume you can make Marble madness tiles.

And I would assume that the same deal of creation of a normal tile goes into Marble Madness.

If you look at the image I posted I am referring to the normal image. You have to be precise with the normal image and can't be lazy and use a full tile it has to look the same as the original as shown by the blue arrow??
