How can I make the special cliff ?

I have another question: How can I make the special clifves which placed in some maps like Peak of Beakdu ? I want to take screenshot it but dont know how I cant find the screenshot files in anywhere in my computer, that's so strange. I looked for those clifves in StarCraft Campaign Editor and X-Tra Editor but I couldn't find them. I think it'll be better that someone take a screenshot for me. Thanks.

Do you mean the wide ramps?

Pics are placed in SC folder with name : SCScrnShot_"date"_"time".pcx

We can't explain the universe, just describe it; and we don't know whether our theories are true, we just know they're not wrong. >Harald Lesch

What y10k described used to work for me too, but for some reason now it saves them into
<OS drive letter>:\Documents and Settings\<User Name>\SCScrnShot_"date"_"time".pcx
(e.g. C:\Documents and Settings\Master_Sergeant\SCScrnShot_"date"_"time".pcx)

Falkoner's page has a good Tutorial for high cliffs and other terrain blends.

the wide ramps that are in peaks of beakdu are made by copy and pasting terrain tiles to extend the ramp. You need to use SCMDraft.

This is exactly what i'm talking about, guys:

and also this:

I've got the SCMDraft already but dont know how to make like above.

Use SCMdraft's terrain's Copy/Cut/Paste ability.

Of course, but i think it a bit harder, use your imagination. You can build it by tiles. Terrain : Indexed tileset

But my imagination is not very good at all :) I'm just a newbie with the SCMDraft and so hard to find out what exactly is the tileset I need...Especially the rocks beside it. Sooooo....Could you guide me please ? God support you :)
P/S: now I can make the first cliff type well. Thank you again.

I think the end of the reversed ramp is copied from "bridge" doodad in the jungle tileset. The other parts seems to be normal ramp parts.

Feb 22 2008, 12:52 pm Falkoner Post #11



Actually, the top of that bridge is mostly cliff pieces, and the bottom side is mostly bridge, with some cliff bottoms, but seriously, if you want it exactly like that (which is blocky, by the way) then you should just open it in OS Map and copy the ramp.

Is this right ? How can I make the smaller one ? Hmm...

Hope, you can now create any kind by now -.-

Thanks. I'll try to edit it like the one in map Peak of Beakdu.



None.

Feb 23 2008, 2:05 pm Master_Sergeant Post #16



Oh men, I cant make it exactly the same like it, I cant open map Peak of Beakdu because it's author locked it. I just dont know how can I make the edge of the cliff like it, I tried to find all kinds of terrains and doodads but nothing did fit it. It's really hard, more than a bit :) I think about just give up and make my own style, but I prefer the one in Peaks of Beakdu. I can edit the edge on the right but cannot with the edge on the left.

Just go and watch my map again. You should like it.

"It" I means the one in Peaks of Beakdu.

NudeRaider -- EUD actions, specifically. The conditions remained. Today we can even have actions again, but they're all virtualized/whitelisted (not sure on the actual technical implementation) so you can only use them for specific intended purposed, not arbitrary code injections.

NudeRaider -- I mean yes, maps - through EUDs - were theoretically able to do that as well, but that was patched quickly.

Symmetry shouted: NudeRaider Is EUD editor capable of writing shit onto the player's harddrive? That seems like it would be dangerous
yeah an editor that isn't allowed to write files sounds rather pointless, so I'd assume it can. Like most other programs too btw. and yes, obviously that's dangerous, but also kinda necessary. MS introduced that virtualization for exactly that reason.
