Can anyone tell me how to get this very reddish/hot look in my lava map?



And also, how is this tower on the bottom of the lava/sticking out of it? It won't let me place that doodad in lava...

Edit the Lighting to get the red effect

Hold shift while placing the doodad to remove placing requirements

Thanks for the shift tip, it will be easier for me to hide the bad seams with artificial/natural cliffs.

Here's something I've been making for the past two days, name's Breeze Cove and it is a 144*144 two-player map (starting locations are 11 and 5 o'clock).



It has some sight blockers and two destructible rocks on the left corner leading to a backdoor and an expansion.
However I can't seem to find where to set the fog (I found the lighting stuff, very well made by the way) and to prevent ground units from getting on some cliffs (like in the top right-hand corner).

Blue Lagoon
1v1
DL

Bal'shir tileset with the white sand from Xil and a tweaked version of the Shakuras water. A duel map that's my experiment in heavy usage of LOS blocking. There are several dense jungle type areas with almost zero visibility, making them great places to lie in ambush or force close range encounters. The amount of LOS blocking and the short air distance should also make air fairly powerful. There's one very narrow sandbar that allows for a short rush distance and it also has a very important Xel'naga watch tower in the middle of it, however it would be suicide to attempt to move a large army through this tiny choke, so you have to bring them much further around through much wider spaces which pass several potential ambush spots. There's also a northern path blockaded by 4 destructible rocks that connects the two naturals. The gold is an island which should also be reachable by cliff jumpers and stalkers, holding should also ensure control of the XWT, so it's a very powerful position to take.

what locations are the starting locations? the large openings or the beach? otherwise great map.
