They don't have the right size.

Furthermore the grass is too much structured which looks bad when tiled.

Well, the grass looks like beholder slime...

the roof looks wooden.

Nilo · Post by **Nilo** » Sun Feb 22, 2004 3:09 pm

Thats because most roofs are wooden.

Nilo · Post by **Nilo** » Sun Feb 22, 2004 3:16 pm

As i canot log on at the moment, I cant see how the grass looks... So i cannot know for myself. However, I think you are probably right...

Kasume · Post by **Kasume** » Sun Feb 22, 2004 5:57 pm

Yeah the grass looks really to bright of a green.

The roof looks like farmland, and the tiles do not match to each other when used.

Nilo · Post by **Nilo** » Sun Feb 22, 2004 6:06 pm

Hmmm.... Perhaps you are right. Maybe i should use that for farmland...intersting...

And when I used it, I thought it looked fine... But maybe that's because i made it

Someone please shoot nilo, he's on a rampage. Study the ingame graphics and look what is needed and try to put a lot of time and effort into making new graphics. And i've laid off illa right now, waiting for a character reset and new client. ((Hurry up programmers))

martin · Post by **martin** » Sat Feb 28, 2004 7:51 am

In fact, all graphics we need are much more complicated, like monsters, walls, ...

We have a lot of this "easy stuff".

Martin, could you make a list of graphics that you need? If i had ideas of things you needed then I wouldnt waste my time trying to perfect current graphis

Walls (including doors, windows, ...), monster, playergraphics, magic-animations.

I don't know about anybody else, but I just love this grass tile I made. Just save and put in your illarion folder to use.
http://www.angelfire.com/alt2/majham/Amisc.html

It looks like it has height. I did what I call "spilling", or just editing the top two sides of the diamond so the grass "spills" over the pink border, making the tiles overlap creating a much less square and flat mass of grass. If this "spilling" was tastefully applied to all tiles, there wouldn't be any need for border tiles. Who says MS paint is useless?

Screenshot, sorry for the 150k, but it looked like somebody splashed a bucket of water on it in the jpg form, its still not as good as if you put it in game.

Wow grobul, that really does look good ingame.

Derinoar Fallvictor · Tue Mar 09, 2004 12:59 am

That tile..looks...awesome

though the forest ground needs to be done in the same manner...

Kasume · Post by **Kasume** » Tue Mar 09, 2004 2:18 am

I think the grass tile of yours would go good as a forest tile more so.

Pronon Palmsuger · Post by **Pronon Palmsuger** » Wed Mar 10, 2004 1:04 am

Looks great Gro'bul. Only thing is, due it how it looks long, I think it would look better as forest ground.

molbo flourfern · Post by **molbo flourfern** » Wed Mar 10, 2004 4:58 am

yeah, it looks good. i like it long, besides, they didnt have really have anything to cut grass. good work

How about making some nice forest ground Gro'bul? I love the grass tile that you made but now it clashes with my forest ground.

Unfortunately I've never been in a real pine forest, so I don't know a whole lot what it would look like. Help me out here, I'm guessing lots of dead brown pine needs, maybe some leaves, what kind of grass though? Wild grass is quite tall where I live, and often very earthy colors, making a very sharp contrast against the regular grass. Tall natural grass makes great hiding too.

Gurik Elvenstar · Post by **Gurik Elvenstar** » Wed Mar 10, 2004 1:45 pm

I think a darker green grass with a few leaves would look good

Prangemir · Post by **Prangemir** » Thu Apr 22, 2004 11:36 am

ive been in pine-ish forest out int he blue mountains....very brown floor...hardly any grass on it....maybe there should be a grass in town thing and another Tile such as a plane or something with longer grass? your graphic would be good for outside of town grassy region (not forest though! no grass in forest where i live)

EDIT: I just had a look at it in game, grass looks really good, i think teh forest wood too with some spillage......

Delakaniam · Post by **Delakaniam** » Sat Apr 24, 2004 4:42 am

Pine forest floors tend to have low grass, if much at all, because the pine needles that fall apparantly rot rather slowly -- this causes pine forest floors to generally be one big matted carpet of medium-brown dead pine needles, perhaps with scattered leaves from other trees or shorter vegetation. It also depends on how large the pine tree count is, though.

Gro'bul · Post by **Gro'bul** » Sat Apr 24, 2004 6:17 am

Also pine needles are really acidic allowing mostly only other pine trees to grow there. I worked on this one rather diligently. It doesn't overlap like the grass tile does yet.

The one that says forest tile NEW!!!

I like your forest tile,
but i love the grass tile.

Make the forest tile a bit darker..to fit in with the trees...my humble opinion
