Laser borders

[Flamand]

I made these borders for the Star Trek mod, but I guess they could be used for any modern scenario. There are two variations: laser wire (for land based mods) and laser grid (for space based mods).

Edit: you can find the second version here.

Top row: Laser wire
Bottom row: laser grid on Vadus' space terrain

It is interesting. On the space one. Are there three laser beams or two? Is it just the angle of view that blends the third beam with one of the others on the "northern" sides.

Is that also the case with the land based? Cause there's two beams and then one beam.

It also looks like there are a few corners where a small ship or person could slip through depending on the map use of course.....

On the whole though, It looks good....

You're right, it's the angle... I haven't found a way yet to make better connections, but I'm still thinking how to improve it...

Looks like you are going to have a great Mod/Scenario. I like your borders.

You mentioned that you were looking to make better connections. I took look at your file and noticed that you are staying within the grey part of the tile. Not sure if you know or not, you can actually go outside of the grey area, the grey is just showing you how it will overlay the terrain tile.

I have attached a picture showing the actual area you can work in, this is the actual tile size.

Hopefully you find this useful.

Thanks for the compliment...

I know about the space outside the diamond, I used one of your files as a base. For the next version I will lower the top beams by two pixels, so all three beams will be visible. The only remaining problem is how to connect the triangular shapes between the tiles without these connections also showing on the corners. Actually I don't think it will be possible and that it will look nicer like this... Unless you have any suggestions of course...

Look have creative idea very much!

Ok, I posted a new version in post 1 in which the beams are a bit more separated.

They are very good, but the color could be a little brighter...

This would be great in futuristic scenarios.
