building question

[hujer]

Hi, have you any idea how to make the same?


and the basement ...


he is in the basement and yet he doesn't see surrounding terain. But if you are in the hole you see terrain you are standing on and above you.
And pls dont tell me it is all static even the grass around the house - it would be creazy to make such a big area only from static tiles.

One of my shards had basements but it was done via teleporation - the basements were made somwhere on the black part of the map. But perhaps there'd be a different way of doing that with some customized artwork - but I've got too little free time to experiment right now.

yes, this is a possibility. I hope this is not the case.

[Nobby]

BTW, why don't you just launch the map with CentrED and check ? If it's done by some means of enginuitive construction - you'll see the basement below the structure, if by teleport - there'll be no basement there.

dont have that map, I've just seen the pics.

Use NODRAW tile on map in entrance area (tile ID 2).
