Bottomless chasm cave tiles, wall tiles which can be put on any background and ramps.

Please post the .xcf.bz2 too.
I'm tempted to have another go at the fade-to-black bits, but I'd prefer to start with your version as it's the one that will be going in to the game.

Sorry, there is no XCF. I saved it in PNG format.

There's a sharp edge around your ground-over-void tiles, and I think smoothing it is better (not happy with either version though).
I've modified the .xcf.bz2 to mimic your changes, but it's too big to attach to the forum: http://www.s.cotton.clara.co.uk/gallery ... 03.xcf.bz2

If no one has any objections to the version in octalot's last post, I'll add it as cave_bilevel.png and officially depreciate cave_bilevel_water.png.

I've no objection to it going in as-is, and the main bilevel bits are ready for use.

OTOH, the ground-over-void tiles in bilevel set that I posted are just proof-of-concept (didn't make that clear enough).
I expect the final tileset to have the same tiles, but think it needs to be reworked more.

What exactly has to be reworked in your opinion? They look fine to me.

There is still a faint line. It isn't nearly as noticeable as before, but it would be nice if we coud get rid of it anyways.

It's a general feel that I'm not happy with the look, but unable to put my finger on why.
One bit that I do know, there's vertical lines showing up at a few of the tile-edges (which I plan to fix).

Ground, Cliff and Void
This one appears a lot of times in that test map:
GGG
GCC
GCC <-- between these two cliff tiles

And this is at the bottom-right:
GGGGG
CGGGC
CCCCC <-- both sides of the centre tile
VCCCV

Looking at it more, void to interior side cliffs are missing. Void to interior for top and bottom can be done already with ease.

Took a while for me to figure this out, but I think it's more impressive than a simple wall with black at the top and fade-to-black at the bottom would be. :D

How about adding graphics for a cave exit that points south?
I write this because I am currently lost in some cave north of Hurnscald :P

I like that graphic. Southern exits in caves is something that I wanted to add, but my attempts didn't look good.

Would definitely be useful. Can you make a version without background for the x2 tileset?
