Game Help / Re: Heightmap help
« on: May 07, 2016, 10:51:11 pm »
Thanks for all your help everyone, I managed to do the map in SAI and then export it as a PSD into GIMP and then convert it to greyscale (as well as turning off the alpha channel)
Then I just imported it into FH. Thank you so much everyone! :>

@Pkf7
I am, because SAI doesn't have a greyscale option so it can't be imported into FH without crashing, even when only black/white/grey shades are used :<

Um. I've already read the tutorial many times  and it hasn't helped. There's nothing about using SAI in it.

Game Help / Heightmap help
« on: May 07, 2016, 09:44:52 am »
I'm currently in the process of making a map. I have most of it planned out, and now I just need to make the heightmap.
I usually work in SAI, though I also have gimp. However, the blur and smudge tool on gimp seem of a less good quality, and I've heard that since gimp works in 8BIT the edges of the blurred areas can still come out a little jagged, whereas when using, say, photoshop, the terrain comes out very very smooth. So my question is: Could you make a map in paint tool SAI, and then open it in GIMP and convert it to greyscale and import it into the game? Or do you have to use GIMP? And if so, is there any possible way to make the landscape more smooth and nice? Thanks!

Could you possibly send screenshots of it? :> Thanks a bunch!

Request Maps / Experienced mapmaker needed- Payment available!!!

Experienced Mapmaker needed!

Hello; I'm currently creating a wolf pack (Roleplay group) and we are in need of a map!

Firstly, in exchange for making the map:
-You will be given full credit for the map, of course!
-You can, if you wish, join the pack. You will be given a high-ranking position.
-As for the main payment- if you play ChickenSmoothie I would be more then happy to exchange some rare pets for your efforts! I have hundreds and hundreds of pets, including over 60 rares and 4 very rares. I would be willing to give away essentially all of these- if you'd like to be paid this way, let me know your CS username so we can arrange a deal!
-If you don't have play ChickenSmoothie, I can do art of some of your OCs- I can do 5-10 pieces of art depending on complexity! :> I can show examples of my art and what to expect, and we can discuss what characters to draw. I can also design OCs to your specifications, etc,,,
-Please let me know what kind of payment you'd like and we can discuss it! <3

Remember- please only apply if you are fairly experienced! I know this map is a very big ask, so don't feel pressured to apply. :>
Below is everything I'm looking for in the map. This list will most likely be your main reference point when making the map- I'll try to include everything I want in detail, but don't be afraid to ask me if you have any further questions or want something clarified :>

Quote
THE BASICS
-Large Map area
-Customised skies:
(Night: Dark lavender-blue
Day: Light blue
Dusk: Orange
Dawn: Light pink)
-River running through map (Fairly deep)
-Very forresty
-River leads to the edge of the map (fairly tucked away from the territories) into a large deep pool with a large stone island in the middle (enough for quite a few wolves to sit on) with a crystal in the middle. There should also be some way to get to the middle of the island- a stone walkway, fallen log, or stepping stones could be some ways.
-Include other interesting areas or landmarks around the map.

Quote
THE MAIN TERRITORY
This will be our pack's territory!
-Fairly large area
-Large waterfall (The waterfall should be fairly tall, with a large flat top so wolves can sit and walk around on it. The back should slope down gently so wolves can walk up there. The water should fall down into a deep pool at the bottom.)
-Large cave through waterfall
-The river leads through the camp into the deep pool.
-At some point in the river there should be stepping stones across.
-Some dens scattered around- these can be stone cave dens, underground dens, dens in logs, etc,,,
-Inside the waterfall cave and around the deep pool at the bottom there should be crystals
-There should be a large fallen log in between two hills in the camp which wolves can walk across.
-Make the camp really interesting!
-Use whatever mods you'd like to make it interesting- go wild with imagination!

Quote
OTHER TERRITORIES
There should be 2-3 other medium sized territories- a bit smaller than the main one.
-The river should run through or near the territory
-Dens: once again, any kind of den is fine!
-Remember, make them all unique and interesting! Imagine you were to stay at this territory. What would make it interesting and appealing?

Quote
BONUSES:
-Music
-Sound effects
-Nice mods

Quote
PLEASE:
-Include the greyscale map so I can highlight the territories and locations
-Include what mod packs you've used so I can download them!
-Check with me if you have any questions
-Remember the pack's theme is darkness and stealth- different ways into the camps, places to hide and sneak, and hidden areas would be ideal!
-If you'd like to uptake the job of making this map, please link me to any maps you've made before, or some screenshots of maps you've made before.
-I'm always active, so if could take screenshots of your progress every now and then that would be awesome! (Not mandatory though :))
-Take as much time on this as you'd like- but please make sure you have enough time to get it completed. My ideal timeframe would be under a month, but if it takes longer that's fine! Please just keep me updated as I have already had someone say they'll make a map for me, and then flake out and stop responding.

I know this is a super huge job, but I will seriously be indebted to you forever if you can make me a map like this! If you think you'd like to make this map, please let me know! Include past maps you've made if any, as well as what you'd like as payment!
Thanks so much, and remember, if you have any questions etc,,, let me know! <3 <3

Ok so I wrote a whole massive thread but it timed out and all of it was erased. I'm too tired to write it out all again, so I'll just do a quick summary. I'll add more info when I can!

THIS THREAD IS TEMPORARY UNTIL WE GET THINGS GOING! ONCE WE AT LEAST HAVE A MAP AND SITE I'LL CREATE A PROPER MEMBER RECRUITING THREAD- FOR NOW I JUST NEED STAFF AND A MAP! <3

I would love to create a roleplay pack! This pack will be Semi-realistic, Canine, Literate, Ranked, Mapped and sited.
The Lumen Umbra pack is a pack in the shadows- they work under the cover of night (with their name literally meaning "Glittering Night" or "Glowing Night"
They are a very tight-knit community, acting as a family, even to those members who are not blood-related. Ranks are very important to the pack.
While they honour strength and skill in battle, they favour stealth and cunning.
During the day important tasks like foraging, training/mentoring, planning, attending to the injured/ill or pups, etc,,, are carried out. At night, hunting, spying, visiting Ally/Rival clans, attacks, etc,,, take place.
Every packmember is expected to pull their weight in some way.

More lore can be found on the website, which is coming soon!

WE NEED:

A MAP:
If you have a nice map with multiple territories, we would love to use it! We are happy to be allies/enemies with your clan if we share a map, or alternatively you could join our pack as an admin. If you have a map to offer, please link me to it! I'm open to any as long as it's fairly big, interesting, and has several territories for allies/enemies!

Alternatively if you're making or could make a map for us to use, please let me know

STAFF:
We need staff! This includes Admins, Mods, and mini-mods.
To apply for one of these positions please contact me and I will send you an application form. You must be dedicated and active on both the pack forums and in-game.

MEMBERS:
Of course we need members! If you'd be interested in joining, please let me know and I'll add you to a list. Remember, the order of the list is the order of those who can pick their rank, so the earlier you join, the more chance you'll have of getting a high rank!

If you have any questions, suggestions or would like to be any one of these, please let me know! I'm happy to answer any questions you may have. I'm currently in the process of creating the site C:
