Is that a real fog of war or a simple way blocker (like in Agrael boat scenario)?

@fiur:
Aaah, let's do it with email, ok ? I'm to stupid for this PM-thing on Heroes Community ^^
Fog of war is gonna look ridiculous on this map smile_teeth
You mean this here ?

Well, I'm afraid to tell you that I can't fix that. In the upper ground, that's no problem, you will only see the borders if you look from outside of the map (example: )

Image

, but in the underground, Nival did it with walls which belong to the Terrain (Raise tool), so I can't delete them, as far as I know. Look here:

Image

So, I have to find another solution.
The fog of war itself is very very interesting on this Map, because I noticed that it only includes Models and Terrain, no Effects. But if I have no terrain, only the Models will be seen. So you can see the Structure of the Town, but you won't see what's happening on the different isles. For that, you have to visit them ^^

No, this project is not cancelled.
As you can see on dao's new Glorix Thread, we are both working very hard (according to the time we have) , but it is very difficult to tell the Editor what you want.
I hope I can give you an update soon, but I'm not sure.

Okay, Inferno is almost done. What I wanna add are a few effects and some eyecandy stuff. What I can show you so far is the Inferno starting point and a custom isle I made, in my vision they look like the Hanging Gardens of Babylon :)

Very extreme altitude differences here, sometimes it's annoying ingame, but it looks to cool to remove it :P

Here the floating garden. I will connect the different designed isles with academy bridges.

Heya there, it's troggyman the skinning dude. The workshop seemed uninterested in my work so I'll hand over whatever you need directly. You can contact me at:

Yachmar@hotmail.com

I have done a hundred skins or so, so I believe there is more that may catch your fancy.

yess, indeed, I will not post screenshots so far, but I made a marbled palace for Academy, with a repertory and stuff :)

And I redid Inferno, it is now the TempleoftheDamned (Tier6, Inferno) from the Inside, you now, the cave with the columns where you can recruit the Pit Spawns.
So you can see the crater with the lava when you are in the tunnels...

With Troggy's help, I will use a few reskinned creatures for the visual experience of the map, for example a black mage and so on.

So... I can tell you it will be great, but it still takes a few months I guess... sry ^^


btw, another mapper wants to do the same thing with the Haven town (he stole my idea :devil: ^^) , so maybe he's earlier done than me :)
