What tileset do you think would fit?

[Svenska_0rmen]

Making a terrain over Europe for fun, but im having a hard time to decide what tiles would fit best in this map. so what do you think?

 

[fladdermasken]

Village fall. Best tileset period.

 

[Bernkastel]

In my opinion the dark grass tile is one of the ugliest things in the whole game. Have you tried using the grassy dirt tile from Ashenvale tieleset? Not sure if it'll fit but you can always try. Nipah~

I actually really like what you did here, terrainingwise, you cannot really get done this in a realistic way, but the way you used the nomally ugly tiles to symbolise the landscape totally looks fine for me. The tiles between the mountains on the ground might be a bit too much, and as Garshilan pointed out, the dark grass does not look the best, but if used a bit less I think this terrain is totally fine for your purpose!

Oh, and maybe add some more hills inbetween the mountains, I think it's a bit flat there.

 

[Svenska_0rmen]

When you said -The tiles between the mountains on the ground might be to much- do you mean the tiles where the trees are..?

 

[M0rbid]

Well, I was not clear enough about that.
I just have the feeling you used to much of the dark grass, a bit less of it could grant a better effect maybe. For me it looks the best when used close to the woods/trees.... with some additions to the woodless parts....

 

[Svenska_0rmen]

I changed the dark grass to a lighter one. I think it looks better now then before. Tho i dont know what to do on the flat ground. i want to fill it up but there are no ideas in my head atm.

I'd advice not using the standard Blizzard tiles all-together, and rather say you should go for the tiles you can acquire from the "Demons Heaven" map found here in the terraining section.

But yes, if you are set on ingame textures: A good mix between Village Fall and Ashenvale is the best way to go, if it is foresty your going for.

 

[Bernkastel]

Oh, also i forgot to say that you might want to move the rock tile to left behind the snow, so the snow would be on the rock instead of under it.

ill check the Demons Heaven. I want a mixed tile not only Ashenvale and Village fall cause im doing africa in the south. So sand and some other tile for that is a must.

 

[Celaquil]

A mixture of Outland tiles and Barrens tiles make for a good looking desert.

 

[fladdermasken]

I'd also add sunken ruins to the mixture, the sand tile in particular.

 

[Svenska_0rmen]

exactly how many tiles is possbile, i wont fit em all if the limit is 13.

 

[fladdermasken]

We're not suggesting that you should add all the tiles from the tilesets we mentioned, just a select few tiles from each.

 

[Svenska_0rmen]

Yeah i know, but maybe there was a way to get more tiles then the limit in WE. Well ive selected a few tiles so now ill get to work.

 

[M0rbid]

With JNGP you can get more. I am not an expert with that though. But it should be pretty self-explanatory in there from what I know

 

[Svenska_0rmen]

Well, im not the best with this stuff im just a basic dude. JNGP is?

 

[M0rbid]

It's the Jass New Gen Pack: http://www.wc3c.net/showthread.php?t=90999
Here it is. Also you can use google for help about the tileset thingy I think.

 

[LordDz]

Why are the trees not showing any shadows?

 

[Svenska_0rmen]

Thats a good question, i removed to old shadow cause it was to big but now ive added another one and also fixed a bit more on the terrain. Still it feels like something is missing in the terrain.

 

[Bernkastel]

Have you tried any sorts of rocks? Nie~?

 

[Svenska_0rmen]

well, no i havnt. That will be one thing i will add, but rocks everywhere will not make it. I was thinking of farmlands... hills, rivers and maybe more. But i dont know how to make em fit cause everything in the map is tiny.

 

[Bernkastel]

If rivers are made with waterfalls. I suggest you to change Textures\White_64_Foam1.blp to a 100% alpha texture, else it'll look really silly. Not sure if it'll look good without it either. Havent tried making tiny rivers with that. Nie~

 

[Blood Raven]

umm, i'd suggest that you shold move the snow right of the other tiles, it looks wierd right now. About the tileset, i think this is good after all.
Also, can you show me a screeny of bulgaria?
