Ive been waiting for this...but 1 question...HOW DO YOU DO IT!?!?

IIRC you paste a bridge part over the farm, and then remove it in-game with a trigger. Not sure, though.

Sorry luke.But that's not how it's done.

Strife,you will just have to be a bit more patient.the utility will be coming out tommorow.

I can be patient, yes patient is my middle name...

*Smile starts to twitch*

Oh, and @ Cknchaos i released the utility for quicksand, your included.

thank you

Your review is settled.

Have you heard of the story when a hero dies to seal the evil monster in the dimension of foul things?

lets use an analogy so that the hero and the monster is the same, only that theres two heros

I don't think anyone'll understand me anyways

I'm wondering even more how did they make Blacksmith and Stable (for example) look like one building (how did they bind them into same tile)?

I suppose using Triggers, but I am not sure.

Actaully, if I remember correctly, all you use is map copy. Just make a black msith and stable, then map copy the stable and place hlaf of the stable tiles over half of the blacksmith tiles.

Aaaaah, tnx.

I did the invisible farm with bridges and used the map copy SO LUKE IS RIGHT about that. If you dont believe it then go back in the posts to see my earlier screen shots ah hum. I ALSO got the villager to go on a clif. Not trying to be rude but you can't just dismiss things like that. Look for Same Farm Trick. Or click below

I am sure there are diffrent ways though and I love the kneeling grave idea.

BTW perhaps it is good to deley the presentation of tricks to get more fan fair!. Kidding, "Or I'm I ?

Out of interest, Philip - when you used the map copy trick, did some parts of your farm still look like a farm sometimes? I tried this stuff (bridges/houses/outposts map copied over the farm) yesterday, but it never covered up the whole farm. Sometimes the biggest parts of the farm still looked the same, even though there had been bridges etc. map copied all over them.

I'm using the latest AoC patch, could that be the problem?

yes,luke was right,but i'm talking about doing it a diffrent way - without using bridges.Philip could you do me a favour?-could you check if water can be pasted on top of farms using the bridge trick.

Quote:

those were my exact intentions.

See? I was right. Well - I'll just wait for the utility. I sadly don't have the time to start copy-pasting cities on top of farms.

BTW, Ingo, I sent you a mail about my e-mail aliasses. It's rather important you check it out. Thanks.

omg, no one tried to dechiper me riddle

all in the shot...

Ingo: It took some doing but I was able to get the entire farm. When I first tried I got the entire farm but one square when I put the bridges together and map copied some more I got it. It's not easy takes some jugling.

I will paste a screen of before and after and I will check to see if water can be put over farms CknChaos.

I believe the ownership of the farms and bridges has an affect also just like placing units on top of bridges ownership must be the same then you remove them and have a water unit stranded on land.

Heres what it should look like before

Aaah,so that's how you create bridges on top of farms.Thanks *mental note:must continue work on the invisible farms*

I checked the water go and guess what you will love it :-) Makes it look like the ville is drowning oh no save the poor inocent. Use shoreless water should be able to get it in there or perhaps not you forget I dont know your way yet.

Just the other ones I have found so I am still interested in seeing that utility.

Hmmmm... Okay, I seem to have a problem here. I tried to make invisible farms with various map copied buildings over them: bridge tops, outposts, houses or barracks, or a mix of those buildings.

The success varied every time I played the scenario: Sometimes there was only one farm tile left, sometimes the whole farm was visible. Those different results occurred anytime I clicked "restart" - I never knew what I would see when the scenario began. Sadly, I neither managed to get rid of all farm tiles during my experiments.

Cknchaos and Philip, does your version of the trick work reliably, and does it remove all of the farm every time you start the scenario? Is there any special other building to try, or a certain timer? So many questions... did you get to write your article yet, Cknchaos?

Ingo

* Nods *

I second that request. Can't wait to see all these new tricks in action.

I tried this mountain thing, but it didn't exactly work. * Bursts out into tears * I'm a crappy designer!

Ingol I will email you the scenerio with the bridge's allready over.

BTW Don't count on me giving this mountain one away easy like the others. I broke before and told everyone this one you will have to wait maybe a front page story would change my mind kidding kidding.

[This message has been edited by Philip Dunscombe (edited 07-10-2002 @ 08:29 PM).]

Ingol I do not believe the one I sent you had the triggers in it. remove the middle birdge or the side ones first if you do it all at once it does not work.

Blackadder rocks!

On a side note - I tried with the bridges, but I continually have a bit of the farm still showing... and how do you get the units up on top of the mountain?

Thanks for doing that, Philip! However, I didn't receive your last email. It's probably because I exceeded the maximum storage on my account. There should be enough space now to resend it.

Ingo

Quoted from signature:

No guesses as to where he got that from! . *grins* oh.. can you post me the url to the sound files I needed on icq... I copyed something else before I had a chance to copy that down .

Chnchaos way uses untilled farms which is why they turn to the texture once the game starts you can map copy farms over these. You put multiple farms together to get the effec look in your mail INGO.

Whens the utility gonna be out?

hey Philip,i got tired of waiting for your reply to my previous post,so i tryed it out myself and it was great.Thanks anyway.

Ingo,me and Philip use diffrent methods to create invisible farms,however,the results are the same.While Philip uses mapcopy,i use triggers to create invisible farms.

Like i said earlier Strife,it will be released in due time.I'm messing around with Philip's map-copy idea

Off topic,does anyone know of a good pic hosting site besides S.P.S.W.Damn,the last time i went there i could'nt upload any files 'cause the upload button did'nt even exist.

Ok,it's almost completed.Could someone please tell me where i could find a site that allows remote file sharing.

lol@ingo

You tried everything except one

Quoted from Cknchaos:

Send them to me. I'll upload them at my PDHQ server, while I'm waiting for my EC Team Captain to return so he can officially register the damn domain name. Showing pics works great, though.
