Yeah, I know.
I really must have lost my mapping talent, but that's all right cuz in return I got my game making spirit back.

Even if your map is a little out of porportion, both you and Meiscool's maps are twice as good as mine. Robotam, could you raise those stone walls in the front one tile?

[Robotam]

No. `XP
I like your mountain map Aboutaso, I like it a hell lot more than I like my own map. So your map is way better than mine.

This is simply amazing. I still don't like the trees though. Oh well, ignore this post. This looks incredible. Where did the Lions come from?

Actually, since I'm here, can someone give me chipset advice?
I made a new chipset by mashing together a bunch.







I know, I know, the maps look like ****. I just want to know if it is a good enough chipset and if anyone would bother to use it. There aren't many chipsets like this so I took the time to make this one. I want to know how to make the chipset better. The chipset has already been uploaded to Complete Resources.

I would need to edit it to use it. Not enough stuff to make anything special with. You've got a wildreness/town sorta thing mashed together. Sometimes that's good, like with the castle chipset I used above. However, in this case, it just doesn't work for me.

Anyone remember my old floating islands? Well, how does it look rudraized?

I agree with ASaT, those trees kill the map. But as always, you're maps are still stunning, Meis.

     I decided to redesign the city of Vailles with a new chipsets. It's going to be 300*300 squares each Floor. There will be a main/outdoors floor, an underground floor, an outdoor recreation place, a lake, and a castle, and the'll each have 300*300 maps. This won't be the biggest city in my game.    





     Can I get some comments on this? What looks good, what doesn't, what looks wierd? Can you also give advice on the new charsets of the races? I don't know what to do with the city. I was thinking about using roofs for some slopes, lots of levels, and a bunch of dragons everywhere.

     After looking through this thread, I came to realize that I was the only one who didn't post a map as a screenshot. In fact, a lot of the screens here are maps. Everybody here only comments on maps. Most of the screens in this Forum focus on mapping. Only a few threads here show things like a CMS, or a minigame, or battles, or a really cool special effect. Is mapping that important to the graphics?

I was bored.

I'm not going to lie Meiscool has the best maps i've ever seen,He can turn the shitest chip-set into a map made by the gods.

aboutasoandthis:

You would have to put a nice ammount of detail into the map to make it work. Often times (this has happened with me) you make the first 50X50 or so prefect, then start lagging and just wishing it would be done on the rest of the map.

In my opinion with maps that large, if they don't look nice, I won't bother walking through them.

Thanks to Meiscool (And the realization that I have NO common sense), I have my water effects back. I want to finish my 300*300 map for now, so I can start some of my cutscenes. I'm having trouble with this map. There isn't enough detail, and it just doesn't look happy enough because of the gray floors. Can I get some help?





I don't want to use Mac&Blue for my game, so if someone can help me make Theodore's chipsets look happy, I'd really appreciate it. I don't know how to detail the city. Should I put in grass and vines everywhere? Should I put in a bunch of levels? Should I make it a water city like Venice, Italy? Should I get some dragon sprites and make statues and murals?

Please give me some help here. I really want the city to look nice and I really want to be a good mapper. Please respond.

[Meiscool-2]

Give me the chipset and I'll TRY and show you how to bring out it's true colors.

[aboutasoandthis]

It's slightly edited but it's okay. I think the original had 4 open spaces for floors and I filled them up. If you also have Theodore chipsets, you can edit it any way you want to.

[Meiscool-2]

Bah, ToP chipset. I tried, but nothing much came out. I would suggest another chipset, but that's just me. Something like the one I used a page or two back might suit you better.
