Are SEAS already aviable? If not, it is my work :)

Okay, i had a look and it's good! But for the mountains, you cult use the black texture. And I don't know WHY I should go to the most of these Carnivores, there are no Stones or Treasures...

I took a look at it.

It's really well done for your first map. The only two mistakes I've seen is the hardly differing colours from the plateaus to the mainland and that the mountains are very high. 1st: Create a very little brush. With this, it should be no problem to put some more ALT7 terrain to the plateaus. Btw, you can paint the bases with ALT7 completely if you want, that's the usual case in the original paraworld ashvalley maps. 2nd: The mountains can be lowered by creating single, small areas in them that lie very low and then smooth the entire mountains together. A little roughing afterwards will make it art. ;)
Ah, and the volcano in the northern corner has quite a big crater..

I love that carnotaur cave! :D And the almost isolation.. it's cool. :) A lot better than my first map. ;)

Now it's better. ;)

But I found another few mistakes.. sorry.^^

The baryonyx' nest is bugged, it spawns lots of baby baryonyx when the game begins.
When foots of mountains consist of plateaus, the transition is a little bit unrealistic. It's better to first make a.. how to say.. I show you what I mean:
scr_20091114_220653.jpg
To make it less abrupt.

The rest looks fine to me. :)

sorry for the double post but how do you place smoke? everytime i want to place smoke it is invisible. :?

Go to Tools -> Sequence editor -> New -> Story -> Play

Then you have one minute of sequence effects visible. You can then see smoke, waterfalls etc...

Try this: place the smoke and then look under tools/sequence editor

then make a new sequenz and start it (you need no changes)

All Objekts become animatet :)

sorry, Scrat was a little bit faster :(

Yes, but one minute is not much! No Problem: On the left bottom is a Button that becomes a circle if you click on it. It lets the Seq-Editor repeat the sequence infinitively..

You can also keep the control panel (under the option 'Sequence editor') open and control the sequences from there. The play-repeat-button stays the same, but it's easier to control. Sometimes you need to switch sequences off as painting terrain takes very much longer with running sequences.
