iPhone Project: Enlisting Map Creators

[Gan]

Hey, WH, just want to try something out, though could you make a grass tile that had an ethereal essence to it? Kind of like a beautiful/unrealistic/elfish-like look to it. I want to try and make a map with the current grass tile and the ethereal version to compare. (Only need a single grass tile, no need to change any structures or such)

I'll try, but not when I have a paper to write, two tests to study for, a set to design, and three essays to write.

Ah no worries. Not any any time limit, we all are low on free time.

Wow you got a lot of stuff to do. Sounds like you procrastinated to get a stack of stuff that big to do, but maybe all your classes just happened to dump it on you at the same time. Anyways, good luck.

Fixed the maps:


They do look kinda swampy... Maybe Silver was onto something when he said that it may look better in more vibrant colors.

Thanks Eq

I've had so much other work all week that I had to leave this stuff to the last second.

I feel like my stuff is a step below all you guys oh well, heres what i got.

[Silverwind]

Nice!

[Swamp7hing]

Think someone can post the current tiles? I really want to get to designing some maps.

Newest Tiles
There you go.

How did you guys arrange the tiles? Is there a good program I can use?

[EqwanoX]

i think you can use pixen, thats pretty good

It's good, but save often, Pixen Crashes on me all the time.

I use Graphics Converter. Create a picture the size of a map and set the grid to the size of the tiles. Then copy, paste, and drag into the right spot.
Here's a tutorial I posted early on:

You don't have to make the txt files.

P.S. Pixen is good. The version I have hasn't crashed yet.

Like Eq had pointed out, we have 6 pages in this mapping thread with nothing to show for it!

WarHampster, could you post the latest set of your marvelous tiles? Doesn't matter if they aren't quite finished being re-vamped, our maps can be re-mapped later.

I'm ready to make some maps. Even if I have only 2 minutes of free time randomly throughout the day.
