KotH Bloodmount A5 Fix

[Kraken]

Any tips on how I could manage that?

Displacements.

 

[Bogdy]

Displacements.

• The entirety of the ground is displacements

 

[MaccyF]

use a really big brush to block out shapes of hills, along with the smooth tool. Then go in with a smaller brush for fixup.

So, I use a bigger displacement, shape it up. Then a smaller one, and then I delete the big one?

 

[MaccyF]

no sorry, i used the wrong word. When you edit the displacement use a bigger radius value. I also suggest using a distance value of only 1 or 2; it takes longer but gives nicer results.

you can see what i mean about changing the size and strength of the tool here

Thanks for linking 3kliksphilip, but you really didn't have to.

I watched his tutorials like 3 times now.

just wanted to be clear what I meant

Hey, guys.
In the meantime I have remade the map to be VSH compatible.
It currently runs on only 1 server and I have still found some bugs.

Changelog of A3:

• Made walls to the cliff (probably should've been bigger)
• Fixed some displacements that were showing the skybox underneath
• Some rocks were floating. NOT ANYMORE!

That's pretty much it for now.
Gibe feedback pls.

Generally people dont give much feedback just in threads, and if people really do want to leave feedback then they will find the thread anyways. If you want more feedback put the map in an imp or gameday.

 

[Muddy]

Also people tend to pay more attention to maps the further into development they get. Once you get to beta people will know you're serious about seeing it to the end...

Then we are in a dilemma, because I don't know what to do for the next version without any feedback.

Enter it in a gameday (posted here weekly) or join the Steam group chat (which can be found through here) and add the map to the imp list, so that it's run during our next testing session. Then go here to check what feedback you've received.

 

[JMaxchill]

Hang around in chat and ask for it to get imped? Submit it to a gameday? This is a mapping site, of course we test maps

(if tf2maps servers can run mediaeval mode)

Why couldn't they? Medieval mode is enforced by my map using an entity.

 

[Muddy]

They can run Medieval Mode maps, yes.
