Compa_Mighty Posted September 9, 2001 Share Posted September 9, 2001 Yeah guys, we'll be able to do great maps with so many things... cloud terrain... space terrain... so many different kinds of trees... so many editor-only units... they'll just be great!!!

Guest Kvan Posted September 9, 2001 Share Posted September 9, 2001 Its gonna be a little weird going from ground to space or Sky. It looks odd. BTW Does anyone else think/hope the "cloud" terrain should have a more Sunset look to it? I do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW Does anyone else think/hope the "cloud" terrain should have a more Sunset look to it? I do My guess is there will be different cloud terrains... orangy, white, grayish.... I mean in Age of Kings there were around 3 per each terrain... Or let's suggest it to Gaber.

Guest Paladin Posted September 9, 2001 Share Posted September 9, 2001 Yeah, in AOE there was three different grasses so there will probably be more than one cloud type Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange clouds would look real cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they have a terrain type for CITY!!!! That way you could make all those skyscrapers Easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might just make you place buildings down one at a time like in AoK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compa_Mighty Posted September 9, 2001 Author Share Posted September 9, 2001 Oh, I get it now. No, I don't think there'll be such terrain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gamma732 Posted September 9, 2001 Share Posted September 9, 2001 I hope they include a better explaination on how to make random maps in GB. I read through the whole AOK one and could just barely make a RM. Granted, I know absolutely NOTHING about any kind of programing whatsoever, but I would like it if they exlained it just a little better. But then again, if I have any problems I'm sure some of my pals from the forums would help me out, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compa_Mighty Posted September 9, 2001 Author Share Posted September 9, 2001 Of course we'll help!!! What are fellow forumers for ? Anyway I didn't know anything about programming... the first thing I programmed was a Random Map, and after it, Visual Basic was much easier.

Guest Kvan Posted September 9, 2001 Share Posted September 9, 2001 Sorry if this seems like a stupid question, but I haven't played with the Aok editor (and some people won't answer this question over AIM!!!) but what is a Random Map? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, its not a stupid question.........even though it has nothing to do with the scenerio editor A random map is a map the pc randomly generates when you go to play a skirimish-type game. You can write scripts for them defining how much/what kinds of things will appear on the map. It adds a lot of replayability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I never read the manuals I explore games VERY thoroughly so it was too easy. I kind stoped messing with random maps when I started disigning campaigns all the time.

Kvan, there aren't stupid questions, just stupid people that don't ask... It's kinda like Visual Basic, through written orders you generate a map which will always be different (of course under the parameters you wrote) in skirmish, deathmatch, terminate the commander, etc... You decide, which is the base terrain, elevations, player's units, map units, other patches of terrain, resources, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe me Kvan, there are several instructions that are very similar, and Fergie, I never said it was difficult. I said it was the first thing I programmed, and that it eased VB for me.
