Althur - Terrain Build [Old topic]

[RedGajin]

The build is awesome, but I can't really see it being used for anything.

Does it need a use? Is every build in blockland supposed to fulfill a specific and unchangeable goal? Are we not allowed to build creatively just for creativity's sake?

It may not have a purpose now, but it doesn't need one and if we feel it does then it will be changed.

[Conan]

its easily reconfigurable to an RP or something. TDM's might also work if set up correctly

[Conan]

For one week. Until then back to standard hosting.

I strongly dislike the use of both brick terrain and ramp terrain.

heh, yeah it does stick out now that you mention it. A bit late to change that though.

IMO though if we'll make a decision we'll stick with brick terrain only as most of the build is already formatted for that.

Uh, I never said it needed a use. It just said in the OP that he might be making it into and RPG or TDM, and I was just saying it doesn't look very interactive.

As I can see, the dedicated server will be down, but when will this be hosted again?

[Conan]

tomorrow at my usual hosting time

also eksi is planning to use this in his post-shaders blockland trailer so absolutely no more richarding around until we get the valley done.


EDIT: Poll update, stuff's going to have to be redone.

Angled paths? Angled in what way?

[Conan]

Ramp path on cliff.

[Sleven]

I think ramps for the actual path is good. But, that you should replace the sides with bricks.

I strongly dislike the use of both brick terrain and ramp terrain.

Its only bad because one sections is entirely ramp, and the others brick, which would've been justified if there were a change in rock formation or material. Like sharp rocks versus smooth rocks. But it does stick out like a sore thumb. However, I have used ramps on top of cube/block terrain and it turned out well, but never has heavily as that.
