A short Video of a few tiles I have created.

August 24, 2010 6:50:51 PM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

I am really enjoying the tile editor.  Since I cannot play the game due to framerate issues, I have been spending most my time designing tiles.  I hope that it is easy to link these tiles into the game so that they will randomly appear in-game as Goodie huts and whanot.

Pics highlighting some of the details, for a slightly clearer image than the vids.  Notice particle effects are disabled for the most part due to the emitters being ugly.

Hermit Cave

Cult Cemetery

Maid of the Mist

Wow, all of those are amazing. I do hope you intend to share them with the community at some time.

Frankly, I have no idea how you got all those little details in there. I was astounded by the "Lady in the Water or Mist" because you must have placed each one of those rocks. The windmill was great and I also liked the hermit cave... noticed the graves in the back, good touch.

What do all these do? Are they going to be improvements or for quests? Hopefully we can all one day see them in our games

That is amazing!  Thank you for sharing the video (although YouTube apparently doesn't like your music, lol).

So how did you create those?  Is that all from tools available from the game?

You should upload them. With some xml magic, the lady in the mist would make a great quest giver/destination.

 

Gravedancer:

Yes, the game comes with 3 editors:

- tiles: like you just saw. You can choose from a ton of items... buildings, trees, crates, actors, effects, etc...

-map: pretty obvious

-particle effect editor

The rest is done in xml.

Thank you for all the feedback, I have another one uploading as we speak.  I hope to learn how to tie these into the game via XML, I would like to make some quests, some goodie huts, etc...

The Lady in the Mist I made for a quest, if you notice the rowboat has beached next to a "hidden" door in the hedge.  I was thinking of a key fetch quest or something that would unlock the door and let you claim a prize.

Right now I am just experimenting with different designs, and trying to figure our how to add them so that they randomly appear in the game.

Here is my latest one, the Cult Cemetery.

This really is amazing that this can be done with the game's built-in editors and doesn't require 3d modeling skills to create them.

Many games don't make these tools available or they aren't released right away.  This is really cool.

Yeah I cannot wait until they allow us to share Tiles via the mod library.  Hopefully by then I will have learned how to hook them to goodie huts and quest locations.  I should have some new ones ready to show tomorrow.  If you have any ideas for cool locations let me know.

Ok, I have finished my new tile for the day, the Sunken Temple. *Cue dramatic music*

Here it is.

Also I have updated the original post to include some pics of the various tiles.  many of the pics are without particle effects, as the emitters are huge and unattractive.  I also tried to showcase some of the little details I try to put into each tile.  Enjoy
