Hey guys I am openning here a topic of my created objects for the Kam Remake:
You can tell me some tips/thigns that should be fixed or be better.


The Dandelion:

Well i have mad a dandelion and have now like 6 versions. The last one should be ok. I dont know still if the sadows are perfect,maybe looking in smooth version will help later.

In game:




Original:



Mushrooms:

"Nobody likes them but I am still posting it here "




Snow Wulf:

My Actual work. It is more difficult than the dandelion. Well I am not making my own picture like by the dandelion, but the normal wulf has 72 pictures so it will take some times i think.


First drafts:




The snowwulf in game:

Signpost (Wood):

So I wanna try to make a little KaM Signpost like you could know from other games (MoM Heroes III for example)




!Alpha v0.2:


!Alpha Phase:


V1.0

It is hard to say without any background .. Place that wolf on a map, on to a different terrains )

I think white will be better than blue.

Yeah and I think this white is quite perfect. I have done what Krom has said and the wulf isnt Completly invisible on snow and also good looking on dirt or grass. If you wanna tell me that it is too hard to see on snow, pls thing about why God has made there skin color like snow


Its actual only from this 2/3 perspectives. I wanna edit the other 70 pictures,when I know that this color fits in KaM



Dont look on the details of the wulf,i know that at the shadow there are some white Pixel, i will make them transparant later on

I would restrict white wolf movements to snow/ice only. The way crabs are restricted to sand )

Yeah the idea is good. However Im not sure about it. Think: At crabs it look good because they are that slow. However wulfs are that fast that in some maps,where are only some small parts of snow, the snowwulf will jump from edge to edge like a ball in the pinball game

So they are 2options. Make it like you have said and mapmakers must do it wisely.

OR maybe you could add something like on snow +10 meters.You know what i mean? Maybe it would look than more realistic,because than the ice isnt like a wall but the wulf can also walk on grass but going back to his "NORMAL" environment


pawel95

That's really a 'problem' map makers have to deal with. I can make 2 tiles of water and put fish in it and you would have the same problem. I think the snow wolf should be able to walk on snow, the snow/dirt combination and maybe dirt and/or ice (undecided about those).

Ah yeah you are right. With fishes it looks really terrible at some MP maps
Well there are some options. Krom should say maybe what he thinks is the best for him.

You should make a fox for the grasslands and just use the existing wolf for winter terrain imo.

Well i have now finished like 40 of the 72 picutres so i think i will finish it. There were some wishes from different useres to make a Snow wulf and you know: "more objects are better than less"

However I wanna do this also maybe,but it is way harder. Maybe I wanna take the fox from The settlers IV and refix it than to the kam style. It is really hard to make a complelty "new" object. I must draw than like 70 pictures and I havent really time for it now,so that it will look rellay good and fit in KaM

Sooo I have made a video now with the snow wulfs. How do you like them?
It isnt final,because:
1.) They cannot walk on big snow(but on little snow with dirt)
2.) Smooth shadows will be there when including it in real KaM files.

I dont know what do you think, but for me like you can in the video, I like the snow wulf now on snow (snow with dirt)
However on grass(i know, i have searched them longer time in video ) it doesnt fit really, it is to shiny like a LED Wulf or sth like that So maybe Krom was right that they should only walk on snow(and normal wulfs,dont can walk on snow,like it is normal in KaM)
So Mapmakers could add on a 99% snowmap for example these snowwulfs,because like in TPR 08(Orginal) the wulfs in north west,like in the video,are just walking like in a 5x5 meters cage of dirt

Here is the movie:

From what I've seen I like them.

Also... 'master of horses'...?

Than I´m happy

HAHAHA i know that you are also a very good horse controler I have only taken this name on this website, because "pawel95" was used by some other member and so I have chosen this name,because in older release there were some guys, giving me compliments that i had often less troops but most killed units and have won(because of my knights), or just getting compliment for good controling knights in tactic missions
I know that the name is maybe little bit "self-confident",but it was the only one in my mind which has some relation to KaM.
I hope you arent angry of me We can be both the master of ponies HAHA

I very like the little mushroom families

Hi The Knights, haven´t heard anything from you for longer time
And thx, at least one who likes them
