patboivin Posted July 24, 2000 Share Posted July 24, 2000 I noticed that sometimes, when I ask the game to generate a map for me, there are little pyramids here and there. I think this happens when one square has a much higher location than the adjacent ones, and so we end up with a 4-sided spike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Shaw Posted July 24, 2000 Share Posted July 24, 2000 And while not quite as obvious, the reverse is true too. You'll sometimes see "sinkholes" that are simply reverse pyramids. They seem to occur more frequently in, as you would expect, the more rugged terrain. It would be nice if BTS could tweak the code to prevent this but I have NO idea how hard that would be to do. All in all, the QB maps are wonders to behold. I'm very impressed. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hakko Ichiu Posted July 24, 2000 Share Posted July 24, 2000 I had these myself in a map where I was attacking a dug in German position. I figured they were one of those occult German überweapons that they were guarding, kind of like Raiders of the Lost Ark. ------------------ Ethan ----------- Das also war des Pudels Kern! -- Goethe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aszurom Posted July 24, 2000 Share Posted July 24, 2000 <Spikey Hills (Pyraminds) are fixed in 1.03...> Yeah, pyraminds... the germans had captured UFO technology they used to mind control their troops in battle. These "pyraminds" project a "thou shalt not route" beta wave across the battlefield that... oh, I'll just quit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
