Returning shortly to let you know that the Lion Guard's lair has been completed, and now has the paintings depicted in the the series. Or, at least, the majorly important ones!
I have added these to the main post. More geysers and streams of light have been added for aesthetics. In a little while, I will most likely have the Pridelands finished.
Hi! I'm back again! While I was working on my Ga'Hoole map, I map a second copy of Feral Heart and began working on my Lion King map! I'll be making updates in this thread as I go, and I hope I'll be able to complete it. Looking below will show you pictures of what I have so far! A lot of the pictures may look barren, but that's because I'm still placing trees in certain areas, so I can worry about plants and rocks later.
Because the map is so gigantic, it's left me room to cram in a lot of landmarks. The following landmarks that have been/are planned to be added in the Pride Lands:
Pride Rock
Lair of the Lion Guard
Entrance way. Portal is hidden behind a backdrop.
The lair.
The Paintings on the wall
Map exit. Portal is hidden behind a backdrop.
Elephant Graveyard
Ye old skull.
Cave to main area.
Mini dens.
Geysers and a giant den in the cliffs.
Kilio Valley
Hidden Valley
A place Nala and Simba found in one of the books.
Lake Kiziwa Lake Matope Springs Mizimu Grove Ndefu Grove Grove Flat Ridge Rock
Right outside the Graveyard.
Hakuna Matata Falls
Timon and Pumbaa's new home. Their and Bunga's den is on a tiny island out of frame.
Big Springs Big Ravine The Gorge
"It's to die for..."
Five Stones Chekundu Cliffs Chakula Plains Watering Hole
As seen from Pride Rock.
As seen from above.
On a rock platform in the area.
Zuberi River Rafiki's Tree
Outlander border
Tiny area where Kiara met Kovu.
The following landmarks that haave been added in the Outlands: Zira's Termite Mounds
Still adding more mounds. The rest of the place is underground.
Kovu's bed.
Canyons
The following landmarks that haave been added in Hakuna Matata: Tiny Oasis Mufasa's Pool
Due to Lion Guard's depiction of the Outlands (it has a friggin' volcano in it), I won't be adding Janga's den. However, there is a cave in the Elephant graveyard that pretty much functions as a hyena hideout.
For the Pride Rock and Lair of the Lion Guard Entrance and Exit, I've hidden the portals behind backdrops, in order to give the effect that you're not just entering some random portal. I'll be planning to make backgrops of the maps in order to make the portals more obscure and immersive. Where the portals are located specifically will be marked with foilage.
The music used in the map will be both from The Lion King and Dinosaurs, both by Disney.
A couple years ago, I made a map based on the Guardians of Ga'Hoole's Southern Kingdom, and then had it released into the public. At first, I was proud of it, but as time drew on I began to dislike the map and wished that I had taken more time on making it. But for some reason, when I made the old map the map never lagged, despite all the detail in one concentrated area. Because of that, making the map was a fun experience.
So I'm going to do it again, and it's working just as well as the old version. No lag either.
Here are the images from the old map, showing mostly St. Aggies and the Ga'Hoole tree.
Here is a series of pictures of of the new Northern Kingdom--or at least some if it so far. Right now all my attention is being directed towards the tree itself.
The tree, as seen from the Beaks' shore. The gate/gong, welcoming owls to the Ga'Hoole tree. Further shot, showing the tree in the distance. The tree using Thierry's Ga'Hoole tree mesh, retextured with another tree texture in order to "extend" the tree. Landing strip to the dining hollow or Paliament, and several platforms. The inside of the dining hollow. Entrance to the owlet section of the dining hollow. One of the many rooms in the forge.
The map has and will be so big that you can't see the end of the sea that the tree is in. There will be multiple hollows within the map, in order to increase interest in exploring. What I'm including:
Music from the film, plus a few more.
Detailed hollows for people to roleplay outside the tree and other major areas
Custom-made notes and drawings
Written letters that are lore-friendly
Northern, Southern, and Middle Kingdoms
New landmarks that aren't canon to the story,
Underground caves
Wolves of Beyond locations*possibly*
The thing is that it's gonna take a lot of meshes. I'm using a lot of WoW meshes, so things like books and food is plentiful right now, but I will probably need meshes for things such as paper and other decorations, in order to make the map far more immersive for the average Ga'Hoole fan. So if anyone is willing to point me to more meshes or textures to improve the map, then please let me know! Suggestions are welcome, and if this goes well, I might be able to make maps of the Pridelands, while including new landmarks from The Lion Guard. Suggestions are welcome. Thanks!
Oh, no, it's perfectly fine. I can connect to the front server just well (I have a plugin where the tab will constantly refresh every five seconds upon activating, and access my characters. I just can't enter the maps at all.
So an hour ago, I downloaded the new FeralHeart, reset my characters, and have a good connection to the front server. Everything functions correctly. I live in the US.
But I can't connect to the map server.
If anyone can be kind enough to help, then please let me know, and I'll be very grateful.
