Post by: Meiscool-2 on December 17, 2005, 07:24:56 PM: Yes, I agree, and now that I look at it more, I think the blade would look a bit better if it were a butcher's knife or something. But, in game, it's only a few pixels, so who gives a crap en?

Title:
Post by: Meiscool-2 on December 18, 2005, 06:08:03 PM: Well... how do I put this. You're mapping is ok, but you used the chipset way wrong. If your shadows lined up right they would look ok, but they don't line up. If you mountains lined up they would look ok, but they don't. Etc etc.

Post by: Fortet on December 18, 2005, 06:15:28 PM: I know. XP I'm a crappy mapper. The darker grass was just something I was messing around with. To be truthful, That map isn't even all the way done. XP If anyone wants to help, they can.

Post by: AsakuraHao2004 on December 19, 2005, 11:58:44 PM: Dude, give people more than an hour to respond.

The maps are ok... the mountains with the steps don't really look good.. I mean, they can be improved on... and the basements kinda... really bad. But for the most part it looks good.

Post by: Meiscool-2 on December 20, 2005, 12:11:03 AM: Yes, the basement you've got going on would be a celler, and cellers never have ladders, they have stairs and heavy doors to keep the dampness in.
