well actually it is a point, since it's a pretty easy way to substitute for a north facing ramp. that was my only point, not whatever bullshit you're talking about with monumental changes.

but it's not a just substitute for a north facing ramp, it's something that drastically alters the strategic value of a map ...

I tried it with Starforge. (result below) But you cannont import your own graphics and you have to use the existing tileset - so it looks really crappy. If you could import your own graphics you could just rotate the ramp (or just peaces of the tileset) with photshop make some adjustments and than make a custom brush with it.

I made these cause I think it's interesting from a designing point of view. Would be interesting to see really good looking backward ramps in future maps. I don't know what it would do strategically though...

this is an attempt with photoshop, really nothing I put much work on:

I would say in this case functionality would be a lot more important that how it looks.

Ok you are right, but nobody would use backwardramps if they don't look neat.

Actually mapmakers would use backward ramps whatever they looked like, even just messing around myself I've scrapped several maps because I can't make them fair with only south-facing ramps!!!

I think most of us don't give a rats ass about how they work. The important question is, do these ramps function just as well as a normal ramp?

so it does. i never said it didn't. i still think a north-facing high ground to low ground ramp would be a useful thing that blizz should've included in the game. i was just offering some alternatives.

btw i know this is possible because i've seen lots of UMS where this worked. it would be great to see people starting to use it in melee.

but you're not offering alternatives, which is the point i'm making and you are not getting

it's like you not wanting your dick to be small, so you buy a gigantic 17 inch strap-on, but in the end it's still a 17 inch strapon which is not making your dick any bigger

understand?

You are one hell of a smart guy. I mean the ramps should fit in the existing BW graphics without looking to strange and distracting.

max_well:

Is that ramp a real ramp? Remember, the top of the ramp needs to have "top of the ramp" tiles, the middle needs to have "middle of the ramp" tiles, and same for the bottom.

If that doesn't make any sense: you need to take a normal ramp and switch it around, it has the same low-ground/high-ground functionality. You may have done this, but it looks different.
I love Protoss because it is tough and straight. Protoss is the race for men.

It would definately be nice if north-facing ramps were possible... But not if they look like that.

This was discussed somewhat at staredit.net They didn't come up with any good methods of doing it (read: things that look realistic)

Yeah, I wanted to do something like this but starforge doesn't give me the abilty to rotate the tiles. An I can't use real custom graphics so I could fix the tiles manually. The first pic is a real ramp I did with SF but there aren't enough tiles to make it look proper.
