AveTruetoCaesar Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 Do you have access to the GECK? Could you look through the water types in game and find one with a tropical look? I just need the name, I'll tweak the number values once I have the general coastline out, but I want to focus on the land first.Any little bit helps.I should be getting a new computer on Monday or Tuesday hopefully. Also, I PM'd my post to Allan. Hopefully he can start work on the plants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrooperScooperMKII Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 (edited) My main PC isn't hooked up to the net right now, so I didn't want to bother transferring multiple screenshots over. Given that it's now fully in GECK and not just a BMP.. http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/49/hawaiiingeck.gifEDIT: Sorry about that, I'm still new to image sharing....

Given that it's now fully in GECK and not just a BMP.. here it is.Looks a little crude at the moment. Then again I don't know anything about mapping. But glad it's working in the GECK.

But glad it's working in the GECK. :tongue: I spent more time fuming about how to get in in GECK without starting from scratch... I spent all of 5 minutes today editing in GECK itself, and before that I was working it entirely in GIMP. I was about ready to start with the flat map and build it all from scratch.Sunday is actually starting to look like a reasonable goal, though. The beauty of cynicism is that it feels wonderful when you're disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AveTruetoCaesar Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 Sunday sounds good. What do you plan on doing next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrooperScooperMKII Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Sunday sounds good. What do you plan on doing next?I'm going to smooth out the overall terrain in the height editor and move on to the Landscape editor for individual cells/fine tuning. Once the general terrain is done, I'm going to add in three major settlements- an abandoned air strip on the western part of the island, the city of Hilo in the north, and the Repconn Facility on the southern tip. Then I'll add the main roads to link them together and start working on the volcano craters and general scenery, i.e. lava, ocean and terrain coloring. Speaking of which, Kilauea has one of the few RL lava lakes. That would be a good base for the mutants. I also think that missile defense tower/launch complex should be higher up in the mountains... one of the main volcanoes (Mauna Loa?) is dormant, so its crater would be a good location for such a base.

AveTruetoCaesar Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 Well again, I think Lava Ghouls would be cool for Kilauea. They could have been mutated by a Mix of radiation and the Sulfurous gas. You could reuse the Overseer Ghoul skin for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't do anything without a map. I'm just throwing out some ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
