Should we not use doodads? Last time I checked, doodads are terrain and so are sprites. Just because a piece is "sprite filled" doesn't make it any less of terrain. If the map has a problem with units attacking, I'm sure it wouldn't be a challenge to remove some sprites. Also, since when was anything in the terrain forum exclusive to extended terrain only? New things aren't necessarily better (or good-looking).

I wish you guys posted the maps D: .

Here's my map.

oh come on, you know you can just replicate it, easy

no dont get me wrong Fwop i have no problem with doodads, if youve seen any of my stuff it is very sprite filled. Anyway the winner isnt determined by me voting what i think is best, it is who everyone else thinks is the best.

Well, it's just that there seems to be such negativity towards sprites. It's getting a little irritating, not trying to point you out or anything.

Sprites from other tilesets dont often work well with the current tileset for logical reasons.

The palletes don't mix. When would you see a glowing snowed on tree in a jungle?

I don't see how poor use of sprites has anything to do with anything.

Lolno Besides, if I want to add it to the compilation, I don't want to have to replicate each piece, so can everyone post their maps? It'd be a great addition to the compilation, and if you have any maps from the older contests, post those too plz.

MNeox for the cup!

Poor use of sprites makes the piece look ugly. The terrain itself can only be judged by the person viewing it, and not its creator. What some deem as "Shit", others deem as "Kickass".

I can't replicate over 9000 sprites exactly in place though .

alright sorry, it did seem kind of hostile, no hard feelings lol.


1 more day, anything turned in after 12:00 pm MOUNTIAN TIME (cause its the best) will be INVALID voting thread will be posted monday (later after i get back from new york)

Fineeeeee, even though like 80% of those were exactly the same.
anyways, here's my map.

@MNeox, looks nice, but (too?) many doodad-sprites I think
I love the addon-parts with the sprites, they looks epic

MNeox's and DeVouReR's both crashed on me. I don't know about anyone else, but terrain that crashes me fails to be of any worth. What is the point of terrain if you can't even see it in-game?

Ehhhmmm
I did not updated SCMDraft now, so maybe Neox also didn't... maybe the new version doesn't a specific sprite

... I have no clue what you are trying to say.

a new version of SCMDraft2 was released some days ago, right? (it had a portal news)
I did made the terrain with an older version, so if you use the updated (current) version scmdraft may has forbidden some sprites, which cause it to crash, understand?
