? Mewzic's Tropical Map Pack ?
Alright, so to do this Paradise project, I will need help from all of the FH users who know about re-texturing, meshes, particles, and other things of that nature. :) I really hope to make an amazing map pack that consists of over five maps. ;D Anyways, lets get started on how I am planning this map.
So far, I have these map ideas;
* Like an Oasis/Spring - Main Map Leading To Other Maps (FINISHED)
* Maybe like a confusing tunnel that leads to another map? - Hidden in the Oasis (WORKING ON)
* Mountain-like area with a river - Hidden Somewhere
* Office/Party room - Hidden EXTREMELY Well
* Shrine - Shiny. c: And Hidden somewhere (FINISHED)
Things I will be needing help with;
I will need alot of meshes and re-texturing to be done. I'm not sure what kind of meshes and such yet, considering I only have one map idea, but just to know that people are willing to help me will be nice. :)
Also, I will need help with Height Maps, I am so awful at them! >:( Hopefully, I can have someone to help me out on that to. :3
Thanks for looking and I hope to see your ideas! :D
-
I'd be willing to help you with heightmaps ^^
-
Ah! Thank you, thank you! :3 +Karma and a Big hug!
-
Lol no problem ^^ just tell me what you want and I'll make it happen
-
Can you make like an Oasis, I'm not sure how to describe it, but I did find a picture of what I'm looking for.

-
Like a small island surrounded by water type of oasis? or something more complex?
-
Like a valley where it dips in and then in the middle like an Oasis where I can add waterfalls and such. :P
-
okay (: I'll get right on that
-
do you need me to make a mask for it as well?
-
Yes please. xD I suck at those.
-
alrighty ^^ I should have it done within an hour
-
Alrighty, thank you very much! :)
-
No problem ^^
-
Also, can you like maybe add a place for maybe a few hiding places?
-
Here's the Height Map:
(http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h11/growlsan/MewzicOasisTerrain-2.png)
Just right click it and save it as OasisTerrain.png and place it in your terrains folder.
The biggest black blob is where the most water will be and I was thinking it would look nice if water falls flowed into it off of the edge white half circle in the upper right corner. The small dark grey dots are hiding spots and so is the larger one (:
Here's the Mask:
(http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h11/growlsan/MewzicOasismask-1.png)
Right click it and save it as OasisMask.png in your terrains folder.
When I tested this I found that it looked very nice with the Red being Greengrass, the blue being Seasand and the green being Brownsand. I put the green in there to make it some sort of a path.
If anything needs to be changed please tell me! I made the map a bit bumpy to give it some depth (:
-
Alright, thanks so much! :D
-
^^
-
It works perfect! :D I love the colors you used!
-
I can map Heightmaps as well as masks, but I'm not sure there is a job Left for me. But, I am willing to do whatever. I just finished a big map pack and need something to do.
-
Thank you ^^
-
No problem and alright Proudwolf, you can help! I'm sure Taylor would love you to help her, considering I need alot of Heightmaps and Masks. xD
-
Yes we can brainstorm together x3
-
First, Bat's got to know what the major concept for the map is. Is it basically like an oasis in a desert, or even in a jungle? Or is it just an oasis with similar maps sprouting from it? For exmple, the concept of my map pack was a... northern forest of some sort.
-
Mew-Mew ^.^ Need any help with... well, anything?
-
Crin, well what can you do?! :3
Battery - Well the map just has a bunch of different maps in it. :P The main map is an Oasis though, with many other maps leading out of it. I guess you could say I'm going for a more Paradise theme. :P Hope that helps you. xD
-
I can do terrain masks, height maps, object placement, mesh searches, protect testing, collab idea, story lines... You name it, I can probably do it.
-
Oooo, then I think you might just come in handy. xD Are you able to make like Underground/Cave Height maps like Ficho?
Also +Karma & A Big Hug for both of you!
-
I should be able to, yes. What would you like in he way of sizes? And. How realistic?
-
Well for sizes, it doesn't matter, as long as there are skinny secret passages that leads to secret little dens or are just dead ends. :P Then I'd like there to be a large area where I'd put like a Spa/Town area. So maybe a little pond where the large area is would be nice.
-
Noted, will begin asap.
-
Ok, Mew. I might have an idea... I can make soething like a bay or a lagoon (With fish and/orsharks >:3). I could use my buildings pack for something. I can do what ever.
-
Alright, take your time with it. c: I won't be starting to work on it until I finish up the main map which will take me either late tonight or late tomorrow.
Proud - How would I get that into my map though? xD Or are we able to link our maps to other peoples? O_O Or do you mean object? /Shot
-
If you wanted, I could help with retexturing objects. I can't make things, I can just retexture existing objects in the game. The only problem is, I don't really know how to export objects for others to use, so that might be a bit of a problem if I helped ^^; I can also make some basic heightmaps and masks. I can also make some ideas for maps (I come up with like, 3 ideas for maps a day xD).
-
You can help with ideas! :D
-
Oh geez >.< I forgot. Want me to make a tunnel that extends from one of the hideouts? It could extend from a den and make a big borrow thing? Or it could turn into an undergroud oasis or lake...?
-
Hey Mew? How do you feel about, while you are trying to make a realistic pack, I know, but what about making like... a REALLY hard secret map to find/get to that only us map workers know about? Kind of like an office for us? I think that the mods and such have a FH headquarters as well xD But. We could work with that a bit?
-
Okay, just sorting things out.
Cast and Crew:
Mew: Boss lady
Taylor: Main oasis creator
Bat: Lagoon
DarkMist: Textures & Basic maps
Crin: Underground/Spa
Maps:
Oasis
Secret oasis
Underground/Spa
Office (?)
-
Lol if I can help with anything else tell me (:
-
So you want like a hidden map that is like EXTREMELY hard to find that onyl we know exactly where it is? :P
-
Hrm... Am I making a Lagoon? Or.... I could.... do something of the sort....?
Secret Wifey hideout? Perfect :3
-
More or less. Or, even, I could just create an office so that we have a place where we can all just get online and actively brainstorm at the same time.
-
That sounds like an interesting idea, but the problem with that might be finding a time where we are all online together and can get together. Sometimes I'm offline, sometimes I'm online, others may be on 24/7, some may be offline on most days. A little office sounds cool, but that might be the problem if you want us all to get together at the same time.
----------------------
I just had an idea for a map. How about a tall, mountain-ish area with some rocks, and a few plants/trees, with a river going through it, and maybe it could be night all the time (If not possible, most of the time)? Something like this:
(http://i44BannedImageSite/35d2jy0.png)
-Heightmap for that created really quickly, it probably isn't very good-
It could be hidden somewhere in a high part of Oasis maybe.
-
Crin told me there was a way that you could actually send me a map with objects and such, Proud. I'm not sure how, but as long as you keep it in Paradise lines, I'm cool with it. xD
The Thread to show you how you could send me a map with objects and such: http://feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=17737.0 (http://feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=17737.0)
DarkMist - I like that idea, though I'd want there to be more places for hiding spots and dens. :P
-
Proud can do virtually anything. She just needs to get inspired. Perhaps she should enter the Preset Contet and get motivated to make 'Hawiian paradise' (Pretty sure tht isn't that you're going for, but it could still be fun to make a Volcano.... Hm... I could make that... It just doesn't have to be fore you...)
-
A Hawaiian Paradise is exactly what I was looking for! A volcano and all would be really cool!
-
I wish you good luck, mai Mewzeec. ^^
P.S *looks at signature* You're fast.. a few days ago.. it was just you and me *sniffle* <3 Well.. and of course my other 9 wives. 8D
-
Thank you, my precious. :3 And yes, I am good like that.
-
Oh hey, look at that. That's my name in your signature :D
As I've told you, I'm having issues >.< However. I can still provide greyscales and masks to you.
-
Alright, that's fine, Crin. :D
-
The first Oasis map is done! :D
-
whoo!!! (:
-
Also, I've finished a Shrine/Hidden den. :)
