Re: [REQ] Two maps
Ok, what do you mean by 3x3 or 3x4?
How should I know if it works? That's what beta testers are for. I only coded it.

Re: [REQ] Two maps
TomMan,
this room is too big; I was hoping for something much smaller (somewhere between 5 and two dozen walkable squares, to give you a rough idea) Also, the carpet wouldn't work-- the cave should look completely untouched by humans (or other creatures.)
I wasn't sure from your first image what it was representing-- it looked a bit like the outline of a very small cave with very odd-looking tiles. Sorry about the confusion!
Thanks for the start, though!

Re: [REQ] Two maps
Ok, I'll make it a lot smaller. Can I just ask: Where is this map going to go in the world?

TomMan,
it's going to be an `undisclosed underground location', crucial to a certain quest. :->

LOL!! Funny because it's sorta true.Rotonen wrote:It's a brown hockey rink.TomMan71 wrote:I am going to make Map #1. This is my idea, what do you think?
Just a quick comment: Plant life is absolutely dependent on light sources. If the caves have an artificial light source, such as the burning lamps of spider/shortsword cave south of Tulimshar, then lichen and moss may well develop within these caves.

Re: [REQ] Two maps
Fate,
I haven't had a lot of time recently, but I made some time to work on straight edges/diagonals. I hope you find it to be a bit better. I also fixed some layer issues.
I was thinking of taking away the upper map, unless you wanted to keep it for the oval map you were going for. I wasn't sure what you mean about adding a visible entrance arch from the caveX2 set, did you want a long tunnel going from one to the other?
Also, I removed the wetwalls - because when I tested the map the water wasn't animated; I don't think I know how to do the whole animated tiles thing right. Either way, I'm not a big fan of the animated wetwalls in their current state, they just look strange. . .
I'll make a minimap when you think the general walls are fine (and when we decide what to do with the upper map) - and when you get the tileset done for the fungus and such, I'll finish this.

Re: [REQ] Two maps
Not easy at the moment. The trick is to open maps/012-3.tmx in a text editor and replace your map's animated water <tileset> section with 012-3's; however don't replace the line that has <tileset ... firstgid=...> on it.Superkoop wrote:Also, I removed the wetwalls - because when I tested the map the water wasn't animated; I don't think I know how to do the whole animated tiles thing right.

I agree that the current wetwalls look odd.

You might have heard a certain rumor about me. This rumor is completely false. You might also have heard the other rumor about me. This rumor is 100% accurate.

Re: [REQ] Two maps
Well that sure clears up a lot of my confusion! I'll consider re-adding some animated wetwalls when Fate finishes the Fungus tileset.

Re: [REQ] Two maps
Hi,
the fungus tileset should be finished now, I hope-- I didn't get too much feedback but I hope that that means that it's good to go.
Let me know if you can think of ways to improve it while you're using it!

Re: [REQ] Two maps
Wow! Sorry, I somehow managed to forget about what I was doing with the map. I'm very sorry and is the map still needed.
How should I know if it works? That's what beta testers are for. I only coded it.
