Weekly Terraining Exercise #130

Hello there people!

This week we're going to have our long overdue "Doodad Lottery" as the WTE theme. What does that mean? Simple: you pick any random number between 2 and 1121. Then, you go here and find the doodad associated with your number. Your job will then be to create a terrain that either A) uses at least one instance of the doodad you got at at least size 200/200/200 or B) uses your doodad at least fifteen (15) times. It'll be fun to see what kind of craziness surrounding doodads we'll get. If this gets popular, I might do a one-week extension for more people to join in.

Either way: good luck, and have fun!

@DrSuperEvil: Go

I thought about that, but figured it wouldn't be much of an issue. The difference between single numbers is still often really large; 341 is 'New Folsom Sandbags' and 342 is 'Outhouse'. That instantly creates two completely different terrains.

@Mozared: Go

AH MAN I AM FINALLY IN THE SAME TIME ZONE AND I CAN"T MAKE A THING MAYBE IN SUMMER but not now

937: HoTS - Ship Piping

Crap, I got 44, castanar monitor floor. Reroll.
Got 852. Electric conduit path. Crap. Reroll.
Got 694. Zerus Rock Cliff Tall. FFS. Reroll.
Got 236. Terran Butcher prop large. What is that. And now I have to do all 4 doodads I rolled using your rules of size/number. Crap. We'll see how this ends.

Here's a random number generator to help out:

The one I use almost entirely, and yet when you choose between 2 options, 80% of the cases it chooses the second one, well gl, let's see what all got

HAY MOZARED GIVE ME AN EXTENSION PLEASE? :3

You'll get it, this subject is too interesting for so little submissions ;)

So, I thought 'you know what, I haven't done one of these in a while, let's give it a shot'. However, what started out as a little WTE soon got me inspired and I'm sorely tempted to turn this into a full blown 256x256 map. Anyway, I'm not going to tell you guys what two doodads I got - all I can say is that this is one of the few WTE's where I haven't stopped because I was board, and neither because my barrel of ideas had ran out... There might have been a hint in there somewhere ;)

Nice to see you around again!

Anyway, the terrain is looking great as always. I quite like how you made the buildings. Nice to see unique ones made out of lots of little doodads. Gives them some nice character.

That said, those lights feel a bit out of place. Perhaps you could try doing something else with that area?

@Nebuli2: Go

Sorry Neb, I should have stated in my original post that this map is meant to be played at night :) In game, they all provide nice shadows and silhouettes but cheers ^^

@madlibrarian: Go

You think you could upload some darker screenshots, then? I'd to see it how it how you intended for it to be seen.

@Nebuli2: Go

As requested :)

I'll finish eventually...
