Hi,

If anyone is interested i had these tiles lying around, if anyone would want them i could upload them.They are seamless, 4 subtypes.Suitable for Mediterranean theater map, or maybe a MA map, for a change (not sure if costum terrain tile textures are allowed).

As I read the "rules", new textures would be allowed. But if you look at the default ones, you can see that it would probably be non-trivial to create the 16 quadrant variants and make the appropriate associated clutter changes.

I'd considered making my own snow tiles, but I think I'm going to hold off on doing so for now for the terrain I'm trying to build - as much as green mountain-tops bug me.

Maybe someone more graphically oriented than I would find it easier than I though.

But thanks - maybe as we get more of this kind of stuff built we could archive it to MrMidis for future use.

Here you can see the transition between grassy rock (or "snow" in te) to grass tile.Also in Mediterranean.Hmm, i think i'll make whole pack in that style.

Half way there Ghastly:)

Mrmidi, my pm box is ok now.

64kills, I am sorry, but I don't make maps for others, or very rarely.There are some great tutorials that can get you started, then you can build the maps just the way you wan them.

As for the tiles, finished adding clutter.Don't let those trees scare you, fps are great on my very old machine.
I will upload those files soon, so if anyone wants to use them on their maps, be that h2h or anything else.Only problem is their size, with these 18 textures (subtypes and ovly files included) they make the res file up to huge 10 mb.But you can resize them.

Just tested resizing to 256x256.Res size goes down to 1 mb, and what is amazing, there is almost no loss of texture quality, I barely saw the difference.

Just for experiment sake try taking it down to 128x128 and see what you get.

Hosting the map with 128x128 textures right now.Only 500 kb.Screen:

If you didn't know and if it still gives the detail you want, you can go all the way down to 16x16. But that low would probably be way to low...can you say "checker board"?

croduh will you tell me what one of your arena name is for gv's:(

croduh · « **Reply #12 on:** August 02, 2007, 09:27:05 AM »

Tiles and textures are in one zip file "groundtiles.zip" on my site now.
Textures are 1024x1024 pixels, you can resize them.

-Mrmidi, my pm box is empty now

-64kills, most of my maps are ok for gvs.

croduh · « **Reply #13 on:** August 15, 2007, 05:28:00 AM »

I added snow tiles on my webspace, 1024 size, you can resize them.

Not that files and textures in this thread are only and ONLY for use in new maps.
