(wip)ancient sanctuary

[PopeAK49]

well i know prestiege was a wip i was doing but i put it on hault so i can make a basic and descent map for a friend of mine. all the work that needs to be done is....

-properly unwrap a few more textures

-make a proper shader for the folige on the cliffs.

-and make a new ground texture.

if anyone can help me with creating a ground texture with a proper alpha mask layer, that will be helpful, and if anyone can tell me what shader i should use for the folige on the cliffs that will be great.

anyways the video

Agh please capitalize :[
Also, the neon glow on the ancient columns inside don't really go together. Maybe add a crach where sunlight comes in?

[PopeAK49]

^Yes i was thinking of adding a crach, and sorry for the capitalization problem captain smarty pants.

[Bastinka]

Hah it's ok, you have an alpha channel on the material for the foliage on the cliffs right?

[PopeAK49]

Yes i do but i just dont know how to make it disappear.

[Corndogman]

Did you set it to Alpha tested in the shader? (I think that's what you need to do)

[PopeAK49]

i think i tried that before on the shader transparent chicago, but i wont give up...

Not downloading without pics :0

[Sever]

It's just a trailer video, Mr.sCars. Nothing to download here.

[Bastinka]

Streamed video, like youtube but on filefront.

The map looks pretty good though. Also, someone tell him how to activate alpha channels in a shader.

[PopeAK49]

^Yes if someone can help me with that then maybe ill add some static grass to make it look nice.

[PopeAK49]

BUMP! Sry for double post

Anyways i made up my mind and decided to release a beta with a beter ground texture and fixed teleporters. I couldn't really get my pictures from the rar file because the computers here dont have winrar and i cant download it etiher. So if anyone can post the pictures that are in the rar file that would be great. Well here it is peoples. Let the games begin!

[Hunter]

That actually looks pretty nice. I like the theme.

It would look good if you could make the hog look old. And add some leaves and vines to it.
That's the problem with maps, people only make the maps and nothing else.

[Bastinka]

Would have to agree with hunter, very nice themed map! Congrats on fixing the trees on the top ;)

[StankBacon]

looks very nice.

[SilentChaos]

very well themed, and good job on scenery placement.

[Heathen]

Some textures look pretty damn goofy, but like Chaos said, good scenery placement. Overall, keep at it.

[PopeAK49]

Ya well its my first ground texture that i made, maybe thats why it looks kinda goofy. I kinda went with a grove final theme though. You know with the water system and crap.

[SnaFuBAR]

Have to admit, looks pretty decent! Good job.

[Apoc4lypse]

It reminds me of timberland but better. Nice work.

[Disaster]

Yeah it does. Sadly I haven't seen any servers playing this. =(

[PopeAK49]

Well hopefully when it shows up on halomaps it will be on several servers i hope.

[StankBacon]

i can host it on my website, and put it on the d2t server when its done.

[PopeAK49]

Well its finally on Halomaps. Can't wait tell people download it.

[Disaster]

I already downloaded it. :wink: Also somebody host a server. I've been dying to play this.

[Hotrod]

This actually looks quite good, I'll take a look at it.

[n00b1n8R]

Looking good, keep it up!

[Glitch4Fun]

Just grabbed it off of halo maps; hopefully it will show up in a few server. Good job with the map!

[Reaper Man]

Looking nice, not a big fan of the ground texture though, the paths seem too perfect. Unless that's what you were going for..

[PopeAK49]

No i wasn't really going for perfect paths although its my firsty ground texture i ever made.

[Disaster]

No i wasn't really going for perfect paths although its my firsty ground texture i ever made.
Yours was better than my first ground texture ;)

[sdavis117]

I found one server with this map but it was just a couple guys messsing around with dev.

They had deathless on so I quit.
