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.


Sorry to say but your post is total WRONG

It probably is.

Could you correct it?

imo, it dont depends on low ground/hight ground functionality. By making this you are making a normal "road". Imagine it as pure 2d when u are only breaking the line that keeps you out of other side

Right, but I don't know where that line is, so it's safest I think to reverse the ramp.

Woah...

I thought that being in the middle of the ramp was high ground! I am almost positive that my goons miss rines that are on the ramp.

I don't think it's ugly enough to be a distraction. The functionality is what's important. It's clear what the feature is intended to be and what purpose it serves - who cares if it looks as polished as the "real" ramp does?

It's hard when blizzard never though that people would want reversed ramps. O.O

Reversed ramps are a cool idea, although I don't really care about the graphical quality...I'm sure it would detract from the gameplay slightly because it would stick out.

If Blizzard or someone can develop a backwards ramp that has the same 'smoothness' as a forwards one...then it would be better.

I like how it works and what it entails...yet I can't help but feel it would detract from the gameplay.

Hmm... do you know if anyone tried making ramps along the sides of cliffs (i.e. ramps that face east and west)? Those would be much more useful for symmetry than Blizzard's ramps and possibly easier to make than reverse ramps (i.e. they look nicer).

Rekrul is right about requiem, it changes a lot and there are certain aspects that had to be added to compensate for the change. Bill...I fucking hate making a map then gettin shit on by the ramps P

I'm guessing that the reason why blizz didnt make north-face ramps was that this resulted in a elongated ramp.. think about it; to have the same effect as the south-face ramp, the north-face ramp would have to be extended in length to match the effectiveness of the south-face ramp, which isn't physically correct because it would look skewed. A physically correct north-face ramp would be cut short and it wouldn't be very effective, leaving blizz to just leave the doodads to south-face ramps. ;]

You are certainly right, but it's gay that they would rather not have ANY FUCKING NORTH RAMPS than just making them longer looking. Wow.

EDIT: Actually, the angle is so slim that it wouldn't even look that wierd. It would certainly look beter than the crap I made.
