[Hush]

I work the whole day .. and there are so much other things to do.. well, life is hard

By the way - perhaps you can remember the zombie and crowmodel from the died dsa-hl-mod i showed you (do you got them thothie?).. well, here is a mod, which is near it's end - perhaps another chance to get some stuff

I got it, but it didn't have the model you showed me, and thus far the few addresses I've manage to find for the original german authors have all gone bouncie on me.

 

[Kuroneko]

I've always wondered why that was moved in the first place.

Because it was in the wrong place to begin with.

Hmm .. strange - you can download the models here: http://www.netupload.de/img.php/e6b5302 ... 028da7.rar
As I said, the crow only has one or two animations

Well, MSCave hits so many more transitions, and Heras hits none, it's easier to have it on the north end in its original loc, and let Heras do its dead end curving back towards Edana. Otherwise the various MScave trans don't have any hope of rejoining the world.

ewok once spoke of a tropical island with a volcano and treasures... to the south by taking the ship in deralia...it still exist in the plans?

 

[Thothie]

I've no map source - but there are four concept maps there, some of which are islands no doubt, so sure.

 

[Gurluas]

he never started it but the ship in deralia was meant to go there.

 

[evilsquirrel]

if i remember correctly - someone DID start an island map...wonder if they ever got anywhere on it...very good brushwork on the beach...

Modified PVK map? As I keep saying, they have very good maps, especially ones like this:


Front Shot

Back View

*shrug* I don't have any other screens. Anyway, PVK maps are an option, but modification of the maps is necessary if it is going to be an 'official' MS:C release.

 

[Thothie]

There are some potential PVK maps for usage. In most cases, they are so old the source is no where to be found. Ya can Ripent maps up - but for quality MSC maps, ya usually have to rebuild.

Although a PVK modeler *did* screw us on the xbow, Marctastic has given us permission to borrow his maps before (the ms pvp maps) - and PVK maps come from a wide variety of places.

Trick is getting a source. If anyone wants to harass a mapper on the PVK forums, by all means, send him my way.

 

[evilsquirrel]

i've got a question thothie...are the melanion ruins elvish ruins?

 

[Lanethan]

yep.

 

[evilsquirrel]

well then, it could be the elven ruins in the map series mib and i are working on...would make a few lines on that map criss-cross though

thats gonna be quite alot of transitions though... >_>

 

[Thothie]

The more the better.

 

[Gurluas]

melanion is an underground ruin under the elven capital...means you wont ever go outside....and its going to house real abomination...

if you want to do an outdoor elven ruin i suggest you do bruin...

 

[evilsquirrel]

hmmm...anyway, i've got an elven ruin planned...its outside...so yeah...

on a side note: this weekend hasn't gone exactly as planned in previous posts, i've spent it mostly re-designing badlands and making val-sul's chamber (which is nearly done)

 

[Gurluas]

sounds good...anyway i suggest doing bruin...

 

[Tao]

I think we could need more safe zones, towns in the northern areas.

 

[$inisterisK]

im interested in the observatory...

 

[Thothie]

We can put some of the ruins above ground, I suppose, and just assume the new elven capitol, which is built on top of them, doesn't extend all the way into it...or mayhaps we can change 'on top of' to 'just north of'. But I think it would need one underground entrance at least to match that mine like entrances in Bloodrose.

 

[Gurluas]

melanion was an undergound ruin...would spoil the project making it above ground...just use bruin it was a great elven city...that has been overrun by lor malgoriand.

 

[Thothie]

Well then it would make sense that some of the ruins would still be above ground.

People seem to have an aversion to making underground maps, despite the fact that is what the engine is really designed to do.
