@DM: I know exactly what you mean, and I saw it on SEN, but I can't recall where. D: I think they'd tested it in the shot using a Marine.

Please ignore the lack of blending......Is this what you are looking for?

WANT!


WANT!!!!! That is EXACTLY what I want.

This is great.
I think we could nearly forget the blockiness in-game. O.o

Here is a mini pool

Used 2 sprites. It looks bad without them.

Is that sarcasm? Besides, nothing a sprite or two wont fix .

@Cecil
Very nice. Can you post the map for that?

Thanks.

And if you want to see the sprite-less solution here you go...

Not sure if it's exactly what you wanted, but it might be cool to add in somewhere to your flooded temple: http://i465.photobucket.com/albums/rr11/Cecil_Sunkure/CastleIsland.jpg

Wow howler, that looks REALLY nice!

That looks fake. I don't see a block or dimension issues.

I agree, especially the top right: there is no water-land-tile with no huge cliff and such. It seems to be an edited temple-tile.

Just post up the map, I mean, this looks pretty cool and I'd be interested in seeing the separate tiles.

BTW, that block isn't a block lol. There is a small nub that makes it fine. Also, as I said before, there aren't any dimension issues -the water just looks really high is all.

Alright guys, first off let me congratulate you on being too quick to judge. It's a trait found in so many people lately that it must be awesome.

Secondly, let's take a look-sie.

I see a sprite blocking some blockage. Look hard.

Finally, this is pretty damned possible. It'd be harder to shop the image than it would to actually make it in-editor.

Gratz.

Post the freakin map instead of getting into an argument?

If any of you are wondering why I was avoiding the topic, then read on.

I was spending a few hours thinking what to say, but the only thing I CAN say is the truth. I completely forget how to make the water thing, and I did not save the map. Why did I not say this earlier? Well, obviously, now you are probably thinking "Lol, Ciara, thats just proof you didnt make it, your avoiding posting the map". First off, that's not true. I legitimately forgot how to make it, as the only thing fueling my body at that time of hour was a caffeine pill.
Second, I dont see the big deal. Looking back on that piece of terrain, I see a sprite, a block, and (even though Cecil may disagree) dimension issues. It's terrible, and even though some may say "Wow thats good", it isnt. News flash, good terrain is pieces like this:

See the difference? My terrain, very blocky, uses a sprite, dimension issues (Glance@Cecil) and, frankly, it's ugly.

Again, your opinion is probably unchanged, you're still thinking "Ciara - you just dont wanna post the map because its PHOTOSHOPED NUB!!!".
Well, I can't change that. The truth is sometimes unbelievable. Get used to that...
Now, this thread may be locked. Getting back on topic will be nearly impossible. Why the heck didn't I just post "I want water in a hole of ruins" instead of trying to give out an example?
Blah.
My fingers hurt from all that typing
