Title: BIG Elemental Map! (Very experienced map maker needed)
Post by: Vask on August 20, 2013, 01:13:16 am
Introduction: Hullur there! You're reading this now either because you want a challenge, or you're just checking this awesome little page out. WELL, whichever you are, enjoy the page, I guess. So, I'm going to make a group of elementals and I need a HUGE map. The element clans are: Water, Earth, Fire, Air, and Electricity. However, there is a 'normal' clan. And before you even ask, no. This is not a 'elemental warrior cat roleplay'. I just like the sound of wolf clans. Anyway, besides the clans there is a main High Council. They make laws, keep peace, etc etc. The High Council has four members of the rarest elemental wolves.

Elemental Clan Territory Descriptions

Water: The Water Clan territory is a very icy terrain. It is mostly flat, but consists of some steep inclines. The Water Clan camp sits atop a snowy hill, but the hill is flat at the top. It has a few single caves, and two large caves, able to fit many wolves. The 'beds' resemble nests, and the 'caves' are made of snow. The terrain has much water in it. Ponds, lakes, icy/snowy meadows, and rivers are scattered within the clans territory.

Fire: The Fire Clan territory rests in a hot spot. The ground is cracked rocks atop molten lava. Unlike the other territories, the Fire Clan territory is incredibly flat. They have their camp set up at the bottom of an incredibly large and active volcano. Few single caves and two large caves, with nest like beds. Along with the active volcano, lava flows in many places, almost like a river. Rivers of lava and steam can be found in many places.

Earth: The Earth Clan territory is very a very lush territory. It is incredibly green and filled with plants. Flowers, forests, vines, etc can be found. It is very hilly, but the hills are gentle inclines, not steep. The Earth Clan camp can be found in a large clearing in the forest. A few single caves and two large caves with leaves and flowers to sleep on. It is incredibly beautiful in the Earth Clan territory, with tall and beautiful trees, and rare flowers.

Air: (No, they don't live on a cloud) Even though the earth clan doesn't live on a cloud, they might as well. The ground is basically a light light brown, but you can barely see it anyway. A gentle fog covers the ground to make it look white. Nobody can see past the fog but the Air Clan. It makes a wall, so nobody can see into their territory. The camp lays on a TALL hill, above the fog. Few single caves, and two large caves with leaves to sleep on.

Electricity: The Electricity Clan has many storms. It has a hilly terrain and is has black, burnt grounds. The camp is in the middle of the territory, few single caves and two large caves with nothing to sleep on. Many bones of dead animals can be found here and there. But no blood.

Normal: The Normal Clan is a basic wolf territory. Forests, rivers, hills, etc. Nothing really special.

High Council: The High Council lives in a golden palace. (It doesn't have to be a huge palace) When you enter, it is one grand room. At the end of the room, there is a few steps, leading to four throne-like chairs.

Prey: Nope
Extras: Nope

Haha, I'll take you up on that offer. (I've been getting kinda bored)
I have an RP site of my own where I posted a clip of the map I made for us, (ironically also an Elemental RP) if you'd like to see it to, go to:
elemental-beasts.webs.com
Then just go to the bottom of the page in the "Downloads" area.

You can even download it if you'd like to walk around in there, lol.

If you think I can do the map, then I'd be glad to ^^
All I'd need to know is a time limit.

Oh, sure! I'd be happy for you to do the map. I don't really have a specific time limit on this, so take however much time you need.

Er... what did you want to name the map? XD
Title: Re: BIG Elemental Map! (Very experienced map maker needed)
Post by: Vask on September 11, 2013, 02:05:54 pm
Just 'The Clans Of Elements' would be fine

Alright alright, I was thinking of something like that, but I wasn't exactly sure what you would want to call it.

And another thing, since I can only use 3 ground textures for the entire map, do you think you edit the blueprints a bit? For some reason, when you make the mask for a map, you can only use three colors, hence you can only use 3 grounds.

What I was going to do was make the Fire and Electric Clan grounds the same, use the Ice texture for the Water Clan, and then a Light Brown sand for Air and the bed of the rivers and lakes. I just wanted to see if that was ok with you, or if you had any other suggestions~

Sorry for the trouble XD

I only REALLY need the Fire(Molten lava), Water(Ice), and Earth(Grass) textures. You can take out the electricity clan completely, since I had decided not to do that a while ago. And the air texture can be the same as water or earth. And the high council texture can be whatever. Probably the earth texture.

Ah, I wish you luck with your map. It sounds very exciting and interesting.

And hey Mythrim floof, I'm sure you can do 6 terrain grounds. I've seen a tutorial somewhere, so if I find it I'll send it to you. Anyways, I wish you luck with creating this extraodinary map. I hope it all goes well with you.

I would be thrilled if you could find it for me X3

Oh and Vask, here's the height map for the RP.
(http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee370/Jurgencarmeitder/ElementalMap_zps9dc12964.png)

The top right was supposed to be for Air, top left for Water, bottom right for Fire, middle for Earth, and the bottom left WAS going to be Electricity (But I can think of a better use for it) X3

Oh, and that there on the very right are stairs to the Council. They'll probably end up too high in the map, and I'll have to add extra stairs, but oh well XD

I would've started the map by now, but I went on a mesh-fest, and now I'm spending hours just adding new meshes into my creator XD
I did find a cloud that you could stand on though! :D
I also found some nice beddings, bones, caves, textures, etc etc.

I give many thanks to the creators of these meshes XD
I'll list them all in the download to make sure the credit is distributed fairly, lol.

Also, if you like, you can send me Map Rules/Info etc etc ahead of time if you like. That way I can go ahead and begin building a Notepad for the .zip file :3

I also have MONUMENTAL news!

So I went around looking to see if I could find the tutorial that Microfloof had mentioned, and I did! I now know how to make a map with 6 different textures instead of 3, so if you'd like your Lightning Clan back, I'm totally cool with that XD

So now, the Water Clan has an icy terrain, the Air Clan has a brownish-looking one, the Fire Clan has the lava-like one, The beds of the rivers and lakes have beach sand,  what was supposed to be Lightning Clan Territory has a broken stone texture, and then the rest is just a nice grass texture.

You know, I could export what I have so you can walk around and see what I've got thus far when you get the time (but only if you want to).
