Skeleton wall mural

[imported_Rhyssa]

Well, it wasn't at all what I expected, but I like it - it adds a nice touch of class to my entry :)

And it's great to have something to build that hasminimal resource requirements :)

I can't seem to place it on endcaps that are on the outer walls of my lair. inside dead ends it works ok tho

[dorrin]

what's cool to me is that it's part of one of the launcher screen contest entries from a few months back. may see more of those surface at some point

Actually they copied my Avatar:







ok ok yeah I got it from the wall on the starter island. Believe it can be viewed in tazoon also. It's a tapestry (see the fringes)

How do you put it on the wall, during planning?

Yes, you put it up in planning window like the rest of the stuff, but you don't place it on walls. It goes on those doorways that lead nowhere (and thus remain closed). They take only minimal amounts of T1 lair construction resources (4, 2, 2, 4, 2, 2) so they're easy to build too.

which starter island? skalkaar? or the original one? and where?

are the other pictures in the launcher pic contest entry in there also?

[Guaran]

The old, original starter island that had Lord Ryson Stormbringer.

In the dragon cave with the craft trainer and adventure trainer, there were 4 or 5 dragon tapestries. I have them all in my avatar folder on my webpage if you want to see them.

Yeah, that was my entry. I took the textures from the horizons folder [I'm not sure where--poke me and I'll take a look] If you start a biped, you should still be able to see the old tutorial area-including the old dragon tutorials, with the pretty tapestries. I really liked then, and felt sad they weren't in use somewhere. Guess they are now! Woot!

That reminds me of how I thought these murals would be--a sort of carving might go in over a doorway, on the top half of the arch of the doorway. More artist time, though :/

That they are doing things like this makes me glad I have so many doors that go to nowhere... I know of some dragons who painstakingly made sure they had no doors into walls.

Placing murals:

I have found a little trick to place murals that borders the boundaries on ones lair. Perhaps you all know this, but I was happy when I figured out how to.

To be able to place murals on those exits bordering the boundaries on your lair you need to have pressed "build" on something - so that your lair size increases by 1 in each direction. (e.g. 121x121)

In addition to this I have found that you can not place a mural on a structure (likea hall) that has been commited to the plan (pressed "build").

At least this way has worked for me.

1. Place the first structure (typically a corridor)
2. Commit the first structure (press build)
3. Place all other structures and murals
4. Commit the rest of the structures in an order that assures connectivity.

Hope this helps at least someone :)

[Death-knell]

sounds like that needs to be fixed. I have a few places that I would like to place the murals that have been completed already and there is too much loss to destroy and rebuiold again

[Seranthor]

I have to disagree... I've been able to place murals on already completed structures in addition to plan them on things that are still listed in the contstruction tab...

Nice picture. I think it should be as an etching in a stone backgroundthat matches the various themes (Lunus/Helian) so as to look a part of the lair itself. As it is right now, you still see the black door with that picture on it. I understand that it is not finished though.
