Looks nice, but you should know we're talking terrain here. Except for with those new human cities, terrain is brushed. It makes things smoother.

Hmmm...

Reepurr, I REALLY like the hologram. TC that please? :)

And the floors are getting there, but as people say, it does look a bit.. off. Since you are doing tiles, why not find that archived thread about the tiles that where put into mainline and follow the criteria he did?

And Spaceinvader, I know you read all threads (You are awesome like that) do you know what I am talking about? And if so, could you provide a link? I used the search function and it turned up a million OTHER things (I am probably just not good with search terms).

If you could provide the link, that would be aweesome. If not, that is fine too. :mrgreen:

Actually, it is TC'd. Flags use a different type of TC which is RGB 0,*,0 (in other words, any pure green colours are TC'd).

Anyway, here are the holograms in correct positions for use as flags. Might do a bunker village later.

Hmmmmm...

Could you make a Zederian one as well, and maybe an organic biomass for the Xylash, and finally a SUPER sophisticated one for the new race that is coming?

the Zederian symbol is the red one in my avatar. =P

Thanks, Dipsy, but I'm fine. I have both the unit sprites for ground and air, thanks to Zerovirus' Steelhive Era

Don't know where the picture of all of the units went, but here is the link to what they had completed including their unit sprites.

Dipseydoodle: Thanks for the correct_terrain.png image.

Dragonchampion: I looked up some old terrain threads, but I don't know which thread you thought about.

Anyway, another try:

You can't win here - now it doesn't seem top-down enough compared to the hills. Meh.

Actually, IIRC, it should go 2 pixels, 1 pixel, 2 pixels, 1 pixel, etc. Not 2 pixels, 2 pixels, etc. I think that should improve the perspective so that it meshes better with the mainline terrain.

EDIT: I did a quick terrain tile (100% pixel art, for the record) using the 2 pixel, 1 pixel perspective, to demonstrate my meaning. The consistency of the stones has some issues, but geometrically the image tiles nicely.

EDIT 2: Scratch that, Alarantalara found the official template below. :D

Using mesilliac's template and ripping off heavily form stone floor from mesilliac's thread:

I think the stone floor could work as steel floor, but I did not find any pngs.

In-game and terrain editor screenshots in the spoiler. Looks like the editor screenshot is fine, but the in-game one is a bit off. Is this because of shading, or just because there is no variation in the tiles [edit] or because it's pixelled and 'sharper' than the rest of the terrain [/edit]?
Spoiler:
Thanks to artisticdude and Alarantalara for the information about the angles and templates.

On, and if Dragonchampion wants me to stop spamming his thread, I can start a new one.
