Ever wondered how all the "l33T" maps (such as WotTA and SA of middle earth) had so many cool bases, with round or curved walls? Always wanted to make some cool bases? Well look no further, here is a tutorial to make them!

1. Go to the world editor, and click Object Editor
2.Click the Doodads tab
3.Select Props and select Torch
4.Change the model file to any model of wall you wish, and change the name and so forth.
5.Place the newly created doodad on the Map, and double click it, and change to rotation to what ever you wish. My personal preference is 10 degree change.
6.After you are done placing the walls to your liking, place Pathing blockers (Ground) near the walls, to prevent units from passing through them.

Well thats all it is to it! I hope my Tutorial helped your map become better, and i hope you won't have to go through the same trouble as i did trying to make the walls round!

Pictures would surely not hurting anybody :tongue: :wink:.

Maker use of the list feature.

And the tutorial topic was not a call to scribble down some tutorials...

The fact that you referred to SA as a ""l33T"" map makes me want give you a very poor vote.

Second age of ME (on tft) is actualy a great map. And, i thought since there are only 5 tuts, i might as well share some of the limited knowledge that i had -_-

King_Leopold

SA on TFT is a terribly laggy map which makes normal gameplay nearly impossible many times.

That aside, my bad didn't mean to bash on your tutorial, good work on sharing what you do know.

good work but i think it needs a little more meat. like pictures or something. and is it jsut me or does this feel like it should go under a bigger heading with more stuff in it?

Tutorials kinda small by the way, how about adding pictures?

Maedhros_Feanor

How do i put pics into it?

Upload them at imageshack, and then when your posting there should be an option bar with the icon of a picture, click that, and place ur direst link inbetween the [img]'s.

Come on second age wasnt that bad. Have you ever played Lord of the rings boy Lord_Sauron ??? you have to play it to know what i mean. i was playing alone testing it lag was even annoying then. Anyway back to topic. Nice tutorial ive wondered how they do that :P hopefully i can put it to use.

Maedhros_Feanor

Thanks for positive review jor, and ill be posting pics soon as im not feeling lazy.

MrOrange

I'm also a little lazy. But I would like to see the round walls. Now you know why I'm lazy.

MrApples

I can't approve this in its current condition.

Doesn't cover enough information, and the Poll agrees.

Second age by it's original maker (MMG_God) is a good map, then a man named Hannibal-barca arrived and added so much doodad and made it unplayable.

Play version 3b not 4something.

well it is terriby laggy I won't denny that however, I feel that it has more variations of attacks then any other map (that I've played) there are billions of things you can do as any race, its incredibly team oriented though more just in stragity then rather gameplay (ie not like rw) the triggers are well made, and the first 2 versions did not lag much at alll. The updated one that me and hanni did reduced lag significently removing skins, cutting about 3-5k doodads off the map.
