[0.804][UI][Gameplay] Land from the cloth map

June 27, 2010 5:33:46 AM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

From the cloth map all land looks the same.

In beta 2a this wasn't a problem, since revived land only appeared in players' influence.

In beta 2b revived land appears at random in the world.

There is no way to tell land is revived from the cloth.

This will need to be fixed for players using cloth only mode, and those of us that like spending most time playing on the cloth map (currently due to graphics issues with latest drivers).

I guess different shades of cloth for revived, waste and fallen land? A bit like with swamps and desert?

If you look at the top right of you screen, there is a small toogle allowing you to get a terrain info window. Very useful to spot grassland or beach

Yes there is. I play in only cloth mode cause my computer doesn't like switching between 3D and cloth mode a lot. It does a lot of graphic lag while it loads the 3D stuff since it's so old. Anyhow more to the point revive land has a slight green tint to it. It is kinda hard to see I will admit though as well as being very rare.

Ok well that isn't clear to me.

And the toggle terrain isn't intuitive.

Though thanks to both might help my laptop testing experience!

Revived land does have a slight green tint on the cloth map.

But it can be changed when using with the "cloth map env. option"
